Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Morris, I barely knew you, we worked together at my father's Mobil gas station 1645 W. 190th St. Gardena, Ca.
I remember your father Lynn Taylor. We also had one class together in the 12th grade, Narbonne High School. I'm Joe Rios's son and although we spoke from time to time, I still remember that you were always a optimistic all around nice guy. My prayers go out to you and your family.

Missing Mo, and love reading new messages from family and all who loved him. Mo and I were Law enforcement colleagues but we shared our faith in Christ first. He invited me to a bible study, and a valuable connection began.

Mo was a man of God, one who loved his family and served his community with distinction. Those who knew him saw Mo, "the comedian" emerge regularly. Thankfully I knew him. We will have a wondeful reunion one day.

I will always remember Morris as a very kind and caring person who frequently went above and beyond the call of duty, most often in little ways that went largely unnoticed, just as he would have preferred. He would frequently stop by the fire station where I worked to visit while he ate his lunch. He was always friendly and talkative and I looked forward to his visits. I still have one of his business cards and think about him often. Rest in peace.

Thinking about Morris and reflecting as its well deserving as we enter the anniversary of being called to His eternal home and some of the fun things he did. I wanted to post a memory that a few could smile about. Our church home in Oregon had a guest musician Phil Keaggy. Morris got Pastor Phil's blessing on playing a joke on Phil Keaggy. So Morris showed up after work in his full Deputys uniform and went up to Phil and attempted to handcuff Phil. As he was cuffing him he said .......I heard you have enough evidence to convict you as a Christian. Phil eyes were getting bigger and bigger. You had to be there. It was a blast. He also used to hang out at Drain Fire station where he loved all those guys and gals. What great memories. His precious Dad Lyndell is also in Heaven now enjoying his son. We can't wait til the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God Bless you all . Love you guys. Take care. Til next time. Margaret

Hi Son: September 13, 2018

Well tomorrow will mark another year without you. In fact it will be sixteen years since you were taken
from us. Soon it will be two years since Dad joined you in Heaven. I miss you both so very much. Not a
day goes by that I don't think of you both. Your sister Melissa has been a life saver to me. She has helped me with
many things, in fact I have moved back to California to be close to her and Olivia.

Love and miss you .

Dear Morris: Sept.01,2017

It has been some time since I have written. Since tomorrow will be
your 53rd BIRTHDAY, I really wanted to write you. It is very difficult for
me this time, always before I signed it Mom and Dad.

On December 24,2016 Dad went home to be with our Lord and Savior.
I miss him so much, we would always discuss your BIRTHDAY and talk
about the parties we would have when you were a little boy. You enjoyed them so much and would be so excited. Needless to say I miss you both
more than words can express my feelings.

Love and Hugs
Mom HAPPY BIRTHDAY

This reflection is to get the Word out that a young man who is a Deputy's son is building a Memorial which will include our Hero Morris Taylor's name at the courthouse in Roseburg. Look it up on Kpic or other resources. We love to see this. Help make it happen!

Morris,
I think of you everyday. Yesterday was more profound than most as I interacted with a wonderful officer that reminded me of you. Steve Hon of the San Francisco PD assisted me after my purse was stolen from the rental I was using on vacation. He was compassionate, encouraging, thoughtful and respectful. He was you.
As I always do, I tell every officer to be careful out there, and scold them if they aren't wearing their vests.....
I miss you so much, my big brother, my forever hero. It's so hard not to have you to talk to.....but you continue to live on in every officer I see, and I know we will see each other again one day.
Love you always,
Melissa

Morris - It has taken me nearly 14 years to write this short reflection. Years ago, I came across this website and never bothered to say anything. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because I've kept alot of emotions to myself. I often think about backing you up that day and what, if anything, I could have done different. I'm sorry I couldn't do anything more.

After reading all these positive reflections, it's apparent what an impact you had on others!

Take care Brother!
