Earl was born on April 29, 1942, in Morehead City, North Carolina, to the late Early and Rosa Taylor. He loved the Lord and enjoyed his church family at Salter Path United Methodist Church. The old hymns sung by Jimmy Swaggart were great inspirations in his life.

Earl’s dedication and commitment was proven with his 45-year career with TD Eure Marine Construction. Being close to the shore was perfect for Earl as he always enjoyed fishing and spending time on the water. Golfing was another activity Earl enjoyed, being on the course and spending time with friends was a great combination.

More than anything, Earl’s love for his family was first and foremost. Being a grandpa was a special joy for him, his love for his granddaughter and great granddaughter was outstanding, along with his great nieces and nephews who he enjoyed spending time with.

He is survived by his daughter, Melodie Taylor and Alan Hilbert, Jr. of Broad Creek; sister, Anna Finch of Holly Springs, NC; brother, Rocky Taylor of Gales Creek; granddaughter, Andrea Traxler and companion Gray Weeks of Atlantic Beach; great-grandchild, Paityn Traxler; numerous nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews; and fur baby, Hatty.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his loving wife, Judy Smith Taylor on April 5, 2018.
