Nick, Here's a poem ive always loved:

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free

I'm following the path God laid for me.

I took His hand when I heard him call;

I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,

To laugh, to love, to work or play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way;

I found that place at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void,

Then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship shared a laugh, a kiss;

Ah yes, these things, I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow

I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life's been full, I savored much;

Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.

Perhaps my time seems all to brief;

Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your heart and share with me,

GOD WANTED ME NOW, HE SET ME FREE.

Nick remember to smile today, and give your family a hug for me.

Nick-
I am truly sorry to hear of your loss.
From the pictures, and stories I have read, you truly had one of the coolest fathers.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you, and your family.
I am sure he is shredding it upstairs!

Nick, sorry to hear about your loss. I do know from talking to your dad a couple of times that he lived to see you succeed at the sport that we all love. He was and still is a proud Papa. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Keep your head up and keep doing things the right way.

I havent come one here in a few weeks and I come on and find this. I sat here and cried for awhile today when I found out. I have been to places all over the world with my skimboarding and I recently started to travel to go wakeskating. The people I have met in this community have been some of the nicest people. Mr. Jim Taylor was one of the most kind hearted person I have ever met. Nick you are a image of your father and I will tell you right now as the tears start to fill in my eyes as I write this that you my freind are a person that people look up to not because of your raw talent but because of your attitude and look on life. Your father is someone I looked up to from the first time I met the man. I only got to sit there and talk to him on a handfull of occasions. His words and the way his children are, made me know he was a special man. Mr. Taylor Mr T

I know that you will look down on this earth for eternity and know you will be smiling upon the kids you brought into this world and they will make you happy everyday of their prescious lives. You will be greatly missed may your light shine upon us all. I think we all know that his work on this earth was done by making the children he did and raise them in a way that everyone can appreciate. Nick if you ever need anything you have my number. If you dont mind pming me the funeral arrangements I would love to send the family flowers or do anything I can. Mr Taylor you are a inspiration to us all in your teachings and your love for everyone we will miss you dearly.

RIP you are above us all and I will constanly be looking up and saying hi.
