Justin and Taylar were united in marriage on March 12, 2019. Their lives revolved around their family and they took pride in bragging about the accomplishments of their children. Justin and Taylar loved their children and families and enjoyed making memories with them at family cookouts, dinners, vacations and camping.

Taylar attended Wilson Memorial High School and was a member of Pleasant Hills Church of the Brethren. She had worked for Cakes in Wonderland as a baker/decorator. Most importantly, she was a Mom. A mom with compassion that will forever leave an impression on many hearts.

Justin was a graduate of Pendleton County High School and was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Days Saints. He was employed by Molson Coors in the Laboratory and was a Veteran of the US Army and completed a tour in Afghanistan. Justin was an amazing dad and provider, who wanted only the best for his family.

Justin and Taylar have left a legacy that will be carried on through their children, family and friends. Their work ethic, devotion, love and loyalty will be treasured by anyone who was fortunate to have been a part of their lives.
