Taylor….you were the best! So very sad. They built a stadium for you and the Foos before the Super Bowl, and seeing all of you was one of the best days of my life. Sending love to your family, Dave, the band, all Foo Fighter fans everywhere. ❤️

Obrigado por tudo Taylor, sua alegria me contagia sempre que te ouço nas musicas e foi assim que me tornei seu fã...você e a banda me fizeram sorrir em momentos difíceis e sou muito grato a isso. RIP Taylor, nós te amamos e você sempre estará vivo em nossos corações🖤

Taylor meant so much to the music world. His humble joy seemed contagious. Some friends and I from a handful of music podcasts collaborated on a tribute that we truly believe honors him well. Here's the link, in case anyone would like to reminisce with us: www.itchrocks.com/94

Aaron Brummet

Of course his heart was two times a same sized human when he passed. He put 300% energy into all he did. All that he gave to his family, the Foos, and his fans took a toll. You will hawk on with us always. Thank you for your artistry and fucking passion. 🙏

Nicole Obrien

It is no wonder your heart was so big when you died...that's how you were in life. You loved your family, the Foos and your fans so much. Thank you for your fucking passion and zeal. I didn't know you personally, but am still grieving the loss of a kind, human musician and human.

Nicole obrien

My turning point was discovering the Foos and falling in love with Taylor - your smile, attitude, and passion. Thank you for helping me through every challenge. You have been with me longer than anyone, and will always be part of my identity. Love to everyone feeling the loss! xx

Everything still feels so unreal. I've always heard it said, "a band is only as good as its drummer." And you were that good drummer, not just good, but the best..will sorely miss you. Love and light to your family, your Foo Fighter brothers, and everyone who loves you.

I remember seeing Foo Fighters in NOLA at the Jazz Fest. You could feel the love the band members had for each other. Nobody stole each other’s spotlight. I’m devastated for his wife and three young children. His friendship with Dave and the band was undeniable. Taylor RIP 💔❤️

I can’t even tell you how much time and effort I put in over the last 15 years to copy your every move behind the kit. From Foo Factor to Too Fighters and all the bands in between, so much time studying while admiring your greatness. You are and will always be MY HERO!
