Robert Taylor - Online Memorial Website

laying in bed thinking of you daddy. of course I'm balling my eyes out right now but hey I'm supposed to.. I disn't know where else to write this so I came here. I was trying to look for videos of you that I can watch because I don't even remember what your voice sounds like but I can't find any so idk. I just miss you so much and I miss being with you and I just want to be in your arms. I miss you , I love you daddy.  

Tiffany -

With the tragedy that occurred at the Navy Yard the other day I noticed that one of the names was Proctor and thought of Officer Proctor and if he might be related to one of the victims.  I then looked up Robert and was shocked to learn of his passing.  Although we had not seen either of you for almost 20 years - I want you to know how Robert and you had stayed in our thoughts.  Robert was a true friend who touched many lives, including my own.  I will always have fond memories of my time with CCSO and Robert always comes to mind as a kind friend who would always have your back.  He was a man among men and you couldn't ask for a better soul and confidant.  Always having that twinkle in his eye and a glowing smile to pick you up. Ginny and I both remember the love you had for one another as you were dating and you must know that he totally adored you.  We could see it in the way he looked at you and how he would talk about you on night shift.  Last Redskins season we had partial season tickets and I mentioned to Ginny that we needed to get in touch with you both to see where your seats were and meet up.  Our hearts go out to you and your family and we want you to know that Robert will never be forgotten and we will miss him dearly.  Please let us know if you need anything.  God Bless and Take Care.  Mark and Ginny Giroux             

Still lmissing you, like I am sure everyone else is Robert......time isnt really making it much easier.....

To the Taylor family: 

Please accept my condolences for your loss.  I am very saddened to learn of Robbie’s passing.  Robbie and I became friends in the mid-80s.  In 1990 I moved away from Maryland and eventually we lost touch.

 I recently turned 45 and I was thinking back at all of the friends I’ve made over the years and the fun we’ve had.  Robbie was one of those friends that came to mind.  I decided to do an internet search for Robbie and was shocked to learn he had recently passed away.  My heart is so heavy as I write this.

 I want to close with this:  To anyone reading my message…If you have been thinking of reconnecting with someone you have lost touch with; do it now—as tomorrow may be too late.

Again; I am so sorry for your loss.  Warmest regards, Wade

Happy Birthday Robert! Tiffany, Madison and Austin big hugs and kisses to you all. I know Robert is celebrating in Paradise with his Father. Happy Birthday Friend, happy birthday! <3

Tiffany and family,

I am so sorry this is happening to you and your family I am grateful that you have so many wonderful friends and family near you so you don't have to survive this alone.  I can't imagine your grief but you are in my heart and I think of you often. I am thinking of you often Tiffany love you girl!

Dear Tiffany,

Just a note to let you know many of us are thinking and praying for you and yours. May God be with you today and always.

Tiffany, Madison, and Austin,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all and feel so sorry for your loss. You have lost a wonderful husband and father, but you will have to remember all of your wonderful memories you have of him.
Tiffany, I have no idea how you must be feeling. Time will heal your pain. Please know I think of you all the time.  
Madison and Austin, I saw you at 3 Brothers having lunch with your dad just 3 weeks ago and I will have that memory of you hanging out with your dad. I wish now that we would have talked and not just waved because you never think that is the last time you will see someone.

Dear Tiffany,

My heart breaks for you as you and your precious children grieve the loss of your beloved husband and their cherished Dad. When my sister, Beverley Liberto, told me of your loss, I immediately sent out a prayer request to the congregation at my church. I wanted you to know that many in Richmond are praying for you and your children. The prayer request continued its journey as it was forwarded from church to church, and from friend to friend; resulting in many praying for you, in not just Virginia, but in Ohio, Kansas, Pennsylvania and North Carolina as well. I received a written note from a mother of a four year old child, who has been praying for you, Madison and Austin each day when she awakes, at every meal, and before she goes to sleep at night. We as well as many others are praying for comfort, peace, and grace in full measure to be poured out upon you and your children as you endure a pain that words cannot express. God is hearing and is faithful to answer all the prayers being said on your behalf. Our prayers will not take away the stabbing pain that you are now feeling in your heart, but prayer will sustain and strengthen you to continue to move forward as you mourn. The most important thing is to allow yourselves to grieve, while continuing to live your lives in the way that you know would honor Robert. You will never stop loving or missing Robert or your mom, but as time goes by your pain will ease, and you will be able to draw comfort from the treasury of memories you have of your life with Robert. Please draw comfort in the knowledge that many across the miles are lifting your family up in prayer. 

                                                                             In Deepest Sympathy and Prayer,
                                                                             Lance, Bonnie, Laura & Jason Higley

Rest In Peace Sgt. Taylor. It was a pleasure working with you! My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. 

Madison, Austin and Tiffany,

As I sit down and try to write a memory about your father, Sergeant Robert Taylor, #289, it’s the hardest writing I have ever done. Your dad was an outstanding father, husband and friend. You were #1 in his life. I remember the way he looked at you and held your hand when you walked with him. When he left you and his friends he didn’t want to hurt you but life isn’t always fair and sometimes it’s hard to understand. He would want you to be strong and continue your life the way he would expect you to. He would want you to continue to do all the sports and related activities because he would expect you to. Even though you can't hold his hand or see him, know he is always with you. When you want to talk to him, do so. He will hear. We all know where he is now. He is with MeMe and they are both looking down on you and will be with you at all times. MeMe and I were very proud of Robert and enjoyed calling him our son. He was a big part of our family. I am going to miss my friend very much. I will miss watching sports on TV, outings (crab dinners) and vacations that we took together and having someone I could call on for anything I needed. No one can replace your father. He loved you so much. Again, please be strong and continue to do the things you planned with him. Please don’t stop doing the things you did with your father because he wants to see you enjoying yourself. You are going to have a lot of support from relatives, friends and members of the Sheriff Department. Please accept it when they offer.

God bless you all and I love you,

PawPaw

I can't even begin to explain how heartbroken I am for you three. Your husband/daddy was one of the most incredible people I have ever met; always willing to help others & always putting everyone before himself. I wish more than anything that I could take the pain away, but unfortunately I cannot. I know that things are going to be very different from this point forward, but daddy would not want you to be sad forever. He would want you to live & love your lives, just like he did. You guys are like a second family to me, and Teddy, my mom, Jonathan and I will do everything we can for you. We love you, and Robert's spirit will live on forever in every life that he touched. 

I met Robert sometime ago he was a wonderful person and police officer he had a great smile he loved his family, he will be missed but never forgotten. May u rest in peace and may God be with your family.

Last Tuesday we lost a great man, husband, father, son, protector and friend: Sergeant Robert Taylor (CCSO #289). Taken from us way too soon, but given to heaven to spend time with Him and take care of my "other" mother, Betty Davis. Robert, we will see you again when God calls us all home. In the meantime we will continue on and live/love life the way you did. My family and I will do everything and anything to watch over and protect your family. I will continue to pray for the repose of your soul as you enter into the fullness of heaven. RIP my brother.

Live and love like Robert...

~Michael, Keri, Emma and Jack Davis 

I would like to thank everyone for their overwhelming support during this terrifying nightmare that me and my children are living through. The support of my family, friends and police family have been above and beyond anything I could have ever imagined. Robert would be so proud of all of you for helping us thru this, whether you have sent a card, prepared food, stopped by with hugs/support  or just said a prayer for us, I thank you. I know there are so many things happening out there that I don't even know about and for all of it I will be forever greatful. I can't believe a week ago today our lives would change forever in a way that is unimaginable to most. Robert honored me with 21 amazing years and 2 beautiful children, Madison and Austin, who are beside themselves with grief. Their daddy was their world and their world has just crumbled beneath their feet in an instant without warning. The pain is beyond description and only seems to get worse as the days go by. I honestly don't know how we are still standing. My mom passed away four short months ago & I didn't think there could be any greater pain, well I was proved wrong!

A very special thank you to Kristi and Shelbi for creating this priceless keepsake for me and the kids. I'm overwhelmed by your generosity. Thank you so much!!

With a broken heart,

Tiffany Taylor

"Kind gestures last a lifetime, Thank you"

Tiffany, Madison & Austin,

We wish to extend our deepest sympathies to your family.  May the memories you all have of Rob/Dad help to ease your pain and bring you comfort during this difficult time.

Please remember that the CCSO family is here for you--not just in the next few days, but in the weeks and months to come. Please don't hesitate to let us know if there is anything our family can do for your family.

In deepest sympathy,
Vicki and David Kelly #316

Tiffany, Madison & Austin,

Our hearts break for you.  Sometimes life seems so unfair; however we must believe that God has a plan for us all.  At times like this, it sure doesn’t seem to make sense.  Hopefully, with time, some of the pain will diminish and the wonderful memories will bring you comfort.  And, our prayer for Robert is best said through the verse of a song:

 And He will raise you up, on Eagle’s wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn, make you to shine like the sun.
And hold you in the palm of his hand.

 We pray you find peace, comfort and strength.   

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I met Robert through my dad, John, who is Aunt Margie and Uncle Bob's nephew. I was in my teens when I visited my family but I remember talking sports with Rob like it was yesterday. I am ever so grateful to have met Robert, he was a wonderful husband, great father who had so much left to give. It is a tragic, sad time in our family, yet, its times like this that I am proud to be a Taylor. the love we have for one another is unbelievable. We stand strong and run to support one another in the time of need! I love you guys! And Im so deeply sorry that Robert was taken away from us all so soon...
