David Eugene Taylor, age 79, of White Plains, met the Lord on August 28, 2020. He was born June 19, 1941 in English, West Virginia to Lundy Sanders Taylor, Sr. and Ruth Ester Taylor. Dave was raised in Bartley, WV, played on the football team, and graduated from Big Creek High School, War, WV, in 1960. He married his high school sweetheart and love of his life, Sandra Sue Whitt Taylor, on September 4, 1960. They lived in Lanham, Gaithersburg, Severna Park, Oxon Hill, Catonsville, and White Plains, Maryland. Dave was the vice president of Direct Mail Advertising Company in Mount Rainier/Hyattsville, MD.

He loved spending time with his wife, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. His Christian values, compassion for others, loving spirit, and devotion to God and his family, will be greatly missed. “Well done good and faithful servant.” Matthew 25:21.
