Oakley Patrick Taylor

Oakley Patrick Taylor, age 9, passed away in his mama's arms on Saturday, September 2, 2023. Oaks was born on September 17, 2013. He came home to his daddy and mama in May of 2014.

Oakley was employed at Halvorson Taylor Funeral as the Head Greeter. He loved going to work everyday. He took his job very seriously, and greeted each guest as a longtime friend. He worked funerals and visitations, bringing a smile to a sad day. He really enjoyed funeral lunches and meeting all the new people that came through our doors. His chubby, friendly and loving personality will be forever missed by his family, and many, many friends he has made over the years.

In his free time, Oaks loved chasing chippies and watching for bad guys. He would spend his time with his sister Molly, eating snacks and taking selfies. He loved a good chompy bone, sitting in the sunshine, and rides on the boat. In the last year he was able to make 3 trips to Florida with his daddy and mama, while there (without his other fur sister and fur brother) he enjoyed riding in the truck, on the golf cart and cruises on the Ocean in the Pontoon looking for Dolphins (and bad guys).

Oakley will be forever missed by his parents, Tim & Casey Taylor; siblings; Alec, Anna and Molly; fur siblings, Chloebelle and Willard; many friends.

A gathering celebrating the greatest dog ever will be held at Halvorson Taylor Life Events Center on Thursday, September 7, 2023 from 4PM - 6PM.

Memorials are preferred to the Babinski Foundation.
