Raynald C. Taylor
January 7, 1940 — November 20, 2021
Raynald C. Taylor, 81, loving father, grandfather, and brother, passed on November 20, 2021 in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Ray fought Parkinson’s with dignity and without complaint for over 18 years. He was born January 7, 1940, to Carl Hicks and Agnes Lucille (Armstrong) Taylor, in Mesa, Arizona.
Ray is survived by his daughter, Tracy (Greg); son, Clint (Lisa); grandchildren, Terrin (Andy),Tim, Gracy, Joey, and Ali; great-grandchildren, Izzy, Nellie, and Miles; sister, Bev; brothers, Carlos and Merv; and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded by his parents and his sister, Marva.
Among his many accomplishments Ray received an Honorable discharge from the Army where he earned the Qualified Marksman badge and Good Conduct Medal.
Favorite memories of Ray include shooting competitions followed by laughing around a campfire as he shared stories and laughing until we cried. Ray chose laughter and fun in almost every situation. He was a gifted storyteller. Once, to entertain kids on a road trip, he created a convincing story based on the Falling Rock sign and made even the most skeptical listener a believer.
Throughout his life, Ray was an adventurous spirit, sprinkled with an ample dose of mischievousness. He enjoyed hunting and being a Big Game Guide. Ray was an avid outdoorsman and always enjoyed wide-open spaces. Ray was resourceful, highly capable, a creative problem solver as well as an artist. He became quite proficient in golf after he decided the golf course was not a waste of pasture. Ray was a real life cowboy and always played as hard as he worked. He would slow down to watch football, a good Western, or to be the quality assurance tester of desserts.
A Celebration of Life will occur on January 7 in Ogden, UT. In lieu of flowers a donation can be made to Freedom Hunters. https://donorbox.org/freedom -hunters
