Keith Taylor 09/08/2024

Keith Taylor, 66, of Cottage Grove, MN, was tragically and unexpectedly taken from us on September 8th, 2024.

He was born in Fargo, North Dakota, on July 17th, 1958, to Melvin and Jeanette Taylor. Keith worked at Menards in Cottage Grove for nearly 30 years.

Keith’s unexpected passing comes as a shock to his family, friends, and loved ones, who are deeply saddened by his loss. He lived a vibrant life and still had so much ahead of him. Keith loved being a Papa to his grandchildren more than anything.

Keith was preceded in death by his father; Melvin Taylor, mother; Jeanette Taylor (Miller) and uncle; Don (Janice) Miller. He is survived by his loving wife; Tammy Taylor (Wiens), his children; Kandice (TJ) Cogbill, Timothy (Sarah) Taylor and Kory (Kelly) Taylor; his 5 grandchildren Malorie, Amelia, Madelyn, Nora and Henry; and his sister; Kathy (Nick) Todora.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, November 15, 2024, at Bakken-Young Funeral & Cremation Service (805 E Division Street) River Falls, Wisconsin.  The open house will be between the hours of 2:00pm – 6:00pm. A private interment will be held at a later time for immediate family.

Arrangements are with Bakken-Young Funeral & Cremation Services.

      I’m so sorry to hear this, I can’t imagine the pain that you are experiencing. Your father was such a great man and I have kept him and all of your family in my heart. There is always those times where his memory would come to mind and it would fill my heart with joy and pride because I was lucky enough to know him, and to gain wisdom I’m becoming a better person and a great father. I’m so very grateful to have known Keith, and I’m sorry for your loss.

    Tammy and Family,
    My heart goes out to you! I am deeply sorry for your loss. I did not know Keith but, Tammy and I worked together at Securian Financial prior to her retirement. She was so excited to retire and had great plans for Keith and herself. His passing was certainly not in the cards so I know the pain she’s feeling is immense. I pray the Almighty grants Tammy inner peace. May she find comfort in Keith’s memories and may his spirit find eternal rest.
    Warm hugs,
    Lolita
