Taylor’s family would like to send a heart-felt thank you to his family at Hopebridge they have meant the “world” to him and also all of the love, care and attention that was shown to him through his friends at Jordan Transportation. They all helped to take such great care of Taylor.

Born in Orangeburg, SC, he was a son of Cindy C. and Johnny Williams and the late Lawrence W. Strock, Jr. He was a member of Journey Community Church in Orangeburg. Taylor had a love for God that was immeasurable.  He loved people and people returned their love to him. He touched the heart of everyone that met him. Everyone who met Taylor, loved Taylor. Folly Beach was one of his favorite places to visit and he loved a warm cozy bon fire in the cool evenings. To say that Taylor loved Diet Mountain Dew was an understatement, he also enjoyed Jimmy Dean Sausage Biscuits. “NO” was not a word that he liked.

Taylor shared a special relationship with all of his aunts, uncles, cousins and all of his family. However, he had one special Phe Phe who was his angel, his person and his surrogate grandma who was always there no matter when or where we needed her. Taylor loved everyone however, he had a special bond with his best friend, Matt Lovern. He is survived by his half-brother, Gregory L. Strock of Alabama; sister-in-law, Cindy V. Strock of Cameron, SC; a niece, Meagan Strock of Florida and a nephew, Kentlee Williams.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Wesley and Mary Croft and his paternal grandfather, Eldon Williams.
