David Henningson Taylor

Although I only worked with Dave since July he was a vital part of our team here at BE Aerospace. His knowledge and the relationships he had with our customers is irreplaceable, a true professional. He will be missed. Jeffrey Pettit

David was always a quiet, pleasant, cheerful and helpful neighbor, hanging out with his family in their back yard, welcoming friends and neighbors. I remember many a cold, snowstorm with David out helping his dad clear the sidewalks -- past their own lot down to our corner. This was particularly helpful when our daughter and twin boys were babies. Now, our own son tells us he is thinking of starting a neighborhood snow removal service when he turns twelve. Your friends, Scott Thom & Heather Thorpe, Emily, Dan, and Ben

I met David A couple of times when I was visiting my friend Maryam in Madison, Wi.I was invited to his parents house for backyard cookouts.Although I didn't spend much time getting to know David, I liked him immediately.He was so pleasant and friendly. I am very saddened to hear this devastating news for such a fine young man. Prayers and deepest condolences for his grieving family.May he rest in peace. Norma Barnhart

Dave started working with me and our team at EMTEQ at the beginning of 2013 and he became an immediate asset to the organization. He was the easiest person to get along with and very easy to talk to. A super dedicated worker and a very supportive friend. We loved to discuss music, food and watches most of all, but I could honestly talk to him about anything. He had a shoulder for me to lean on through some rough personal events in my life. My heart goes out to his parents and sister Melissa most of all because they have been with this fantastic guy from the beginning and I know how close they were. Dave cared so much for his family and he looked forward to any and all time that he got to spend with them. Dave also had an infinite amount of friends and for good reason, he was fun to be around and he always had your back. The truest kind of person. Dave- I'm going to miss you dude! You left us too soon. Always, Kat

Dave and I have been close friends since freshman year of high school. In four years of high school, and through four years of college and beyond, Dave has been one of the pillars of my life. In his life and death, I count him among the people who really had a strong hand in shaping who I am and those who continue to inspire me. I have been in the habit of keeping journals since 2001, and I have been reading back through these journals over the past week and pulling out moments and passages that feature Dave. And here is one that I found from a 2005 journal, in our senior year of high school: Last night Dave Taylor kissed me! I have always wished for that to happen. Dave has always been an extremely good friend to me and it was wonderful to kiss my friend. The moment was beautiful. He kissed me and my heart leaped out of my chest. Dave really cares for me and I know that, and I am glad we saw the hilarity in being young and carefree together. Dave helps me remember that even though something may not last forever, that doesn’t mean it isn’t worthwhile. “Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.” - Jane Austen It was a huge comfort to find this passage and remember that dear moment with my friend Dave. Amidst the blurring world of him passing, this memory came into sharp focus. Silly, simple and wonderful. I miss you, friend.
