Austin James Taylor
April 19, 1987, to Feb. 8, 2015

Austin James Taylor, age 27, beloved son, brother and friend, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Feb. 8 in Spokane, Wash. Austin was born Easter Sunday, April 19, 1987, in Edmonds, Wash., and later moved to Liberty Lake where he grew up. Austin received his education at home. As an active member of Awana, he received its highest award, the Citation.  

After completing high school in 2006, Austin joined the Marines, served a tour of duty in Iraq and received the rank of Corporal. Austin received an honorable discharge from the Marine Corps in 2013. He went on to study to become a biomedical technician and was at the top of his class. He was not able to complete this goal because cancer entered his life. He fought a brave battle with a strength of spirit not often seen in one so young. Austin enjoyed giving. It was a sweet game of his to figure out special gifts for his loved ones.  

Austin is greatly missed by his sweet dog, Millie. He is survived by his loving parents, Jim and Merry Taylor; sister, Kelsey Taylor; and brother, C. Marshall Taylor. Respected and loved by so many, he is also survived by his grandparents Bob and Darlene McDonald and many loving aunts, uncles and cousins. Funeral services were held Feb. 13 at Valley Assembly of God.
