Deputy Taylor,

I am a seasonal resident of Englewood in neighboring Sarasota County. I heard of your line of duty death via SNN News.

Know that you left this earth dying a hero. My great grandfather, James Hubert Leonard happened to be a police officer during the infamous 1919 Boston Police Strike. So, it hits relatively close to home.

"Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come." ~Ephesians 1:21 May you rest in God's loving arms eternally.

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

I taught Chris when he was in 8th grade at OMS. I remember him as a sweet, funny kid. I'm so saddened by this loss. My heartfelt sympathies to his family and fellow officers.

He had a great smile, attitude and was always asking questions. Always learning. His squad loved him. Chris loved being a Deputy Sheriff. The night he was killed he was enforcing the laws, trying to educate the citizens and keep the roads safe. One of those citizens stopped to try and care for him; thank you. We will often reflect back on Christopher's time here at the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office. Blessed are the Peacemakers for they shall be called the children of God. Matt.5:9

I am sad to learn of the passing of a Brother and Hero in Deputy Sheriff Christopher Taylor. I am sad to learn of the passing of a Brother and Hero in Police Officer Jordan Jackson. I believe our Heavenly Father has welcomed him home into his loving arms where he will now patrol the Golden Streets of Heaven. May the Lord deliver Blessings, Comfort and Peace to his family, friends and all Members of the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office, Florida.

To the Family of Deputy Christopher Taylor, my heart breaks for you. You don’t know me but our sons attended the Police Academy together. They became friends and kept in touch after graduating. Your son went to Charlotte County and mine went to Sarasota County. For months they trained together, laughed together, broke bread together and created a bond. I am so sorry for your loss. For whatever reasons our sons chose to protect and serve, to be hero’s and to serve their communities. No one person can heal your pain, and no one person will grieve Christopher like you all will, but hopefully the outpouring of love and support will provide comfort to you all at this time. Christopher, you sweet young man, although I did not get the chance to meet you, I know you were destined to do great things and make a difference in this world. It is the worlds loss you were taken so soon. May you rest in peace.
