Taylor you were a true hero and aspiration of mine. I’ve loved the foos music since my cousin first played the music to me and my favourite part and still is the drums. It’s such a shame that you have passed but you will in my and many others heart for years.

As a little girl from Orange County who loved rock n roll, Taylor always reminded me of home. He always will. No one had as much enthusiasm for their craft as he did and that is what should be celebrated forever. A band is only as good as their drummer and he was the best.

Kyela

Earlier that day we had to say goodbye to our sweet old dog and then find out about Taylor. Needing both more than ever to counteract the other & I can't. My life will never be the same. Thank you for being who you were. It's incredibly dark without your light here.
