John V. Taylor IV, "Jack", age 68, of Harrells, NC, passed away Saturday, May 21st. Prior to living in North Carolina, he and his wife Jo Ellen lived in Colorado for 20+ years. Jack retired from the Air Force after 20 years of service, and continued to work in the Aerospace field through contract for the Department of Defense. He loved his family and friends, and left a lasting impression on everyone he met. He enjoyed playing guitar, fishing, shooting pool, golfing, and had a knack for telling an inappropriate joke at just the right time. Jo Ellen was the love of his life, and they had 2 daughters, 2 sons-in-law, and 6 amazing grandchildren. Jack also had 2 brothers and 2 sisters that meant the world to him.
A service for Jack will be held at St. Patrick Catholic Church on June 30th at 10:00 a.m., followed by a celebration of life. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the Bay Tree Fishing Club, care of Steve Mills, 771 Bay Tree Drive, Harrells, NC 28444.
