I never actually knew Taylor... I'm a (very) distant relative who got to know his cousins not long after he died. He seems to have had an amazing impact on everyone he knew, and I can tell he was a wonderful person. Taylor, I'm so sorry I never got a chance to know you, I have a feeling we would have gotten along really well. I think about you a lot for someone I've never met, and I hope you're watching me from somewhere and getting to know me even though I never got the chance to get to know you.

Merry Christmas all! Just wanted to let you all know that I stopped by Arlington this morning to check in on Taylor. I only "met" Taylor a couple of weeks ago - there's a group called Wreaths Across America that supplied 10,000 wreaths to place against headstones. We were supposed to place the wreaths in section 33 - but if we knew other folks we had their blessing to honor those folks as well. One of the people I was with wanted to find sons of friends she had met, so we wandered over to section 60. We found the two young men - Kenneth Ballard and Russell White and placed wreaths on their headstones. Me, I found a kid with "ski" at the end of his name - it's that Polish kinship kind of thing - so I "adopted" Taylor (and all those other kids). I went back today just to check in on Taylor. Just want you to know he's in my prayers all the time. Want you to know that the kids that are near him a good kids - he's hanging with a pretty good group of guys. Will look in on him whenever I can. God bless you all. Bruce ps - If you want to shoot me an email I can send some pictures of all the wreaths, including Taylor's. (bruce.new1@yahoo.com)

04/13/07: Spc William Wallace said...
I dont know what really prompted me to write this or even to start searching for Taylor online, but I find myself here now and typing this. I guess I should start off with an introduction of myself. I graduated from the Fairfield in 2003 with Taylor. I played football with him and later ran track. I wouldnt call me and Taylor friends but I knew him well from the years we went to school and participated in athletics together. I am in the army and as I write this I am serving in Afghanistan. I just wanted to give my condolences to Taylor's family and let them know that your son was truly a hero. He made such an enormous sacrifice for all of us. I appreciate and thank him so much for what he did for me and I only hope that I can honor his memory with my service. Taylor is truly a hero to me and the world is lesser place without him.

03/31/07: denise kaiser said...
remembering taylor i wrote this when taylor passed. i would like to say that i was so blessed to have taylor in my life. he was so special to me and my family. my son and taylor had such a special bond with each other that taylor became a part of our family and that is all it took for all of us to fall in love with that great smile and his big heart. Taylor has so many great talents and i think the number one quality was his positive attitude towards everything he did. this is what made him so special to a lot of people because taylor would put other people ahead of himself. he would do anything for anybody even if he didn't know you. for taylor to be so young and have that bond with so many people that is why he had a heart of gold. in my book he was a gift from god. i will never forget the first time i met taylor. brandon and taylor had plans to go the the football game and he didn't get to our house in time so i took him to the game so he could be with brandon. from then on we had that special connection with each other and i am so thankful for that. when taylor gave me my nickname MAMA K it fit just perfect because it came from the heart of taylor and i was blessed with another son in my life. i would do anything in the world for my kids and he was a part of that. i was so proud of that. i was so happy that my son brandon found such a great/best friend in his life with taylor. they were more than friends they were like brothers. they could talk about everything and they were always together. taylor made our life full of happiness and fun everyday. it was never a bad day when taylor was around. that is what makes him so special. he always wanted everybody to be happy. i know that taylor will be in my heart forever and i know that he will be my guardian angel now. i truly believe that taylor will be looking out for everybody who touched his heart. when it is time for me to go to the special place of god, i truly believe that taylor will be the first one waiting for me and that will be such a honor to have him standing there saying come on mama k. that will be very special to be reunited with such a special person who touched my life. taylor had a lot of special people in his life and he will be deeply missed by so many people but he will never be forgotten. he has done so much in his life that it will go on forever. OUR HERO FOREVER!!!TAYLOR BRADLEY PRAZYNSKI i love you forever - t mama k (denise kaiser)

03/09/07: denise kaiser said...

12/31/06: Dennis R. Wells Sr. said...
On this last day of this year I sat back to relax and think a bit - one of the first things I began to think about was Taylor. My respects to Taylor, his family and friends. regards, Dennis...(Cory & Owen's dad, soon to be Lara's Father-in-Law).

MERRY CHRISTMAS TAYLOR WE LOVE YOU ALWAYS!!!!!!!!! THE KAISER FAMILY

12/02/06: Matt A said...
From a Tribute Speech made on November 30th at the University of Cincinnati: What makes a man great? Is it the money he makes or the family he creates? Is it the courage of his heart or the strength of his morals? I think I knew a great man once. .... Looking back on our friendship I came to appreciate all of the positive qualities Taylor had. He was nice, positive, and always willing to help out a friend. To this day I can remember the wild camping trip to Indiana and the wild parties in Pennsylvania. I dont remember the marine he became, I remember the friend I knew. The memories that I will remember of him years and years from now wont be of his tragic death but of his wonderful life. When the war ends and the public forgets there will still be people such as myself who knew the fallen soldiers and honor them everyday. Honor them by remembering the lives they led and the people they became. While his life ended at an early age his name will still be remembered for many years ahead by the people he loved and the lives he affected. On the one year anniversary of his death I walked the fields of Arlington and reflected on the number of tombstones that seemed to continue on forever. The scope of the deaths was unimaginable. I think on that day I realized what a hero truly is. A hero isnt the one who runs the fastest or jumps the highest. A hero is someone who sacrifices everything for something he loves. And I guess in that sense not only am I proud to say that I've known a great man, I have also known a hero.

11/28/06: Matt French said...

02/06/06: Lara McLaughlin said...
Taylor, I held off on writing anything thinking that eventually I would develop my thoughts and feelings into words, but finally realized that the way I feel about you can't really be put into words. I figure, however, that you already know how I feel so it's really not that important that I get it all perfect. I will always remember the first conversation I ever had with you...it was on the phone in the middle of the night, you in Ohio and me in Pa. I loved that you hadn't even met me yet and you were already talking to me like I was your best friend. Finally I got to meet you when you came to visit Cory and I. I just remember waking up and seeing your face about two inches from ours with this huge grin from ear to ear. I will never forget what you said as soon as we came to...it was one of your famous phrases that we would all come to know, love and laugh about (but I'll keep that to myself for now). Over the next year, though we didn't get to see you as much as we would have liked, we made some great memories together. My favorite was our weekend at Brown County...nothing will ever top that! Eventually Cory and I got to meet all your marine buddies when you guys came to visit...what a blast! This may sound kind of corny but I honestly felt honored to be able to hang out with such brave and selfless men such as yourselves. And I will never forget the last time we were together...OSU for New Years...without a doubt the best New Years I have ever had and no other will ever top it I guarantee. I am so grateful that we were able to make the trip out to OH one last time before you left for Iraq. I just wish I would have told you one more time how much you meant to me and one more time how much I loved you. We shared so many memories together and had so many unforgettable conversations that I will miss more than anyone will ever know. I miss those days more than any others in my life. I had never had a true best friend before...but you filled that void in such a short amount of time...no one else could ever have done that Taylor. You were something special. I am so happy that Cory and I were so close to you in your first year away from us. It always helped to know that we could visit you and be with you and talk to you and tell you how much we missed you. We also felt honored to be with you on your birthday and on Veterans day. Taylor, I miss you so much and can't wait until we are together again. I miss you and I love you and will never forget you. You are my hero.

12/25/05: denise kaiser said...
just wanted to wish you a very merry christmas - taylor. i miss you so much and i think of you everyday of my life. the only thing that keeps me going is knowing that i will see you again and even know i miss you this year around the holidays because we were together last year and i was so proud of you for being a marine because you loved what you were doing. i can only said that how special it is for you this year to spend your christmas with jesus. i love you - t so very much and it is not the same here but i know that you are with all of us even if we can't see you. you are in our hearts forever. love always mama k

12/24/05: Kelley said...
Merry Christmas Taylor. It is hard to believe that you were home last year at this time. Those were some fun times. We all miss you very much. It's been a rough few months for me with all that has been going on. I wish this New Years that we could all hang out again. It's hard to get everyone together anymore. I try, but it's only worked a few times. It just isn't the same. Everyone is parting. I just want you to know that I miss you and love you.

12/11/05: Britney Leonard said...
P.S. good ol Holland is no longer at Fairfield... i was kind of sad bout that when i went in there cuz we had such fun times hanging round his office. he is in north carolina now. but dont worry im in good hands. SSgt. Rick is my recruiter and he is awesome!! alright...im really done this time.. haha... love you!!

12/11/05: Britney Leonard said...
Taylor- your 5k was a total success and a great time to reflect with friends. ashley o'hara and i might have finished it in a slow time of about 30 minutes or so but we beat some of the guys so we were proud! haha! we had a nice method of walking until they started catching up and then we would run till they were out of sight. great strategy right? haha! well just to let you know i have now joined the marines! i took my practice ASVAB already and scored high, ud be proud, and i swear-in in january when my position comes open. it's just the reserves right now until i finish my degree and then im going to go active and become an officer, and a damn good one hopefully with your guidance. i leave for boot camp june 15th i believe and i am just asking for your support and strength to help me along the way those 13 weeks! i know u will be there by my side the whole time pushing me further and further and i cant even tell u how comforting that is!! your picture will be up in my locker so i can look at it every morning to remind myself to keep fighting through it all! you are my guidance and ongoing encouragement. i will be in the communications unit. since i scored high on my ASVAB, they are trying to get me into the Mox(dont know how to spell it.. haha) position where i get to decode everything and make sure the enemies dont tap into our lines and decode our stuff! sounds right up my alley dont it? they said that my unit will prolly me getting deployed again in bout a year and a half. im not scared though cuz i know you'll be there by my side looking after me!! well i guess ive written long enough now... i just wanted to tell u and pray for your help, strength, courage, and encouragement. i know you'll be there with me through all of this... thats what makes it so easy to do! thank u sweetie and i love u and miss u everyday!!!

11/14/05: Ashley Baker said...
Taylor- I often think about you and all the fun we had together. It's all still so hard to believe. It's comforting to know you had a passion for what you were doing. To me, and everyone else, you are and always will be a hero. You were the farthest thing from selfish and so full of character. You could always put a smile on my face, Buddy. You'll always be in my heart. Love, Ashley

11/13/05: DENISE said...

10/31/05: Mike Salcedo said...
Growing up I hung out with my brother a lot, and a lot of those times by his side was Taylor. Taylor always had a way of putting a smile on my face when i was down. i always looked up to him but never told him. You will remain in my heart forever as a role model, a hero, and a friend

09/29/05: PFC Joshua Calloway said...

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN - MAMA K

09/12/05: Cory Wells said...
Taylor was the definition of a best friend to me. His loyalty and dedication to his friends, reflected on the rest of his life. He was so loyal and dedicated to his country that he was willing to give his life to it. I will never forget the times we had, and the influence he had and will continue to have on my life. He died so that all of us could live, and because of that I no longer take life for granted. I have the highest respect for what he did for us and he will never be forgotten. I love and miss you Taylor. Seeya Buddy.

09/12/05: Matt Amann said...
No one knows when death will strike but it will to us all one day. May we all die as honored and as respected as Taylor did. Let his body rest in peace and calm in Arlington with the rest of the men who gave themselves to a country they loved. RIP my friend.

08/31/05: Carrie Bonner said...
I only knew Taylor for a short amount of time in highschool. We worked together in the special needs room at the highschool. The way he offered himself to these students really taught me a lot about him and the kind of person I would like to be. He had such a big heart. I am close to Matt Doxsey and just to hear how highly Matt and all his friends talk about him is amazing. It is such an honor to have men and women like Taylor willing to fight for our country. Taylor will always be a hero to me. I pray everyday for his family and friends. Taylor it was a privilege to have known you even for the short amount of time that we had together. You will always be remembered. Carrie Bonner

08/17/05: Jason Morgan said...
You don't have to know a man to appreciate him serving his country and paying the ultimate sacrifice. To this end, I salute Taylor and offer my deepest sympathy to his family and friends. Without men like this Marine, we couldn't do what we want and when we want, or bring our children up in a safe world, start a business, or speak our mind. Thank you sir, for what you have given... and let none of us take it for granted. Respectfully, Jason Morgan (Friend of Owen)

07/04/05: DENISE KAISER (MAMA K) said...

I WILL MISS THAT GREAT SMILE BUT I KNOW TAYLOR YOU WILL BE WAITING FOR ME SOMEDAY AND THAT IS A BLESSING. I THINK OF HIM EVERYDAY AND I AM SO HAPPY THAT I HAVE ALL THE MEMORIES IN THE WORLD OF HIM IN MY HEART. I CAN'T EXPRESS ENOUGH HOW MUCH HE WAS A PART OF OUR FAMILY AND THAT IS WHY HE GAVE ME MY NICKNAME MAMA K. THAT IS SO SPECIAL TO ME AND I KNOW THAT HE WILL SAY THAT TO ME AGAIN IN HEAVEN. I WANT TO THANK TAYLOR FOR GETTING ME AND MY WHOLE FAMILY BACK INTO CHURCH BECAUSE I TRULY BELIEVE HE WAS A PART OF THAT FOR US.

I didn't know Taylor very well. I had the opportunity, the many times Taylor came to our home for a visit with Owen and Cory. But, they were on-the-go mostly and I didn't want to slow them down. My loss. My deepest sympathies go to his parents and family. As I observed Taylor's dad at the Ceremonies in Fairfield last month, I was amazed at his strength for composure, just knowing how deep his loss. Each moment I think of Taylor now, my throat gets a big lump and tears come quickly. I silently said my farewells to Taylor in May, but as my sons will keep the memory of Taylor close to their heart all their lives, so will I. respectfully, Owen & Cory's dad

Taylor, you were the best friend a guy could ever ask for. You were always there whenever I needed you. You were the kind of guy who gave everything and never asked for anything in return. You'll always be my Hero and I think of you every day. I miss you Buddy.
