Lionel L. Taylor was born on January 23, 1962, in Everett, Washington. He passed away in Marysville, Washington on July 14, 2012. He is survived by his daughter Amanda Taylor, mother Nancy Taylor and sister Leesha Taylor, his niece Lindsey and nephew Joel, as well as his granddaughters Haley and Alyssa. His best friend Mike was like a brother to him, and stood by his side every day caring for him.

He worked in logging and at the local mills in Snohomish County. He loved to camp, fish and hunt. He loved to play pool and was one of the best in the area. Lionel had a great sense of humor and loved to joke around. He was a very loving and kind man.

The Providence Hospice of Snohomish County was awesome and such a wonderful group of angels. His doctor Alison Shiqaki even made house visits to Lionel which was so wonderful! He died in his mother's arms and we, his family, feel that his dad who passed away five years ago was there to greet him and guide him to heaven. We will always love him and miss him so very much.
