Charles Lynn Taylor

Charles Lynn “Nick” Taylor passed away on Saturday, October 23, 2021 in Arlington.

Nick Taylor was born on September 11, 1943 in Galveston, TX, to Charles and Marion Taylor.

He graduated from Ball High School, Galveston, in 1962 and went on to earn a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Texas Tech University in 1967. Nick started his career in aerospace with Vought Aircraft in January 1968 and continued working there until retiring as a Project Manager in 1999.

Nick married his wife, Sarah, in July,1990 bringing together the Taylor and Vincent families.

Nick was best known for his compassionate spirit and love of airplanes. He made sure everyone he encountered felt loved and cared for, and always found the good in people, letting them know they mattered. Nick went out of his way to make sure others had their needs met. He was a great listener and even greater “Pawpaw.” He loved woodworking and helping his family solve problems. He led by example and was a man of his word. He had many unique sayings to make people happy, but “Take good care of yourself,” was the one that summarized Nick’s love for his family and friends. It was like he was saying, “While you’re with me, I’m going to take good care of you, and until we meet again…you do the same because you’re worth it!”

Nick is survived by his wife Sarah Taylor, daughter Cynthia Taylor Koceich and step-children
Susie Howell Aderholt, Kristin Vincent Steele, James Vincent, Megan Vincent Thurman and Patrick Vincent. He is also survived by grandchildren: Madison, Abby, Max and Sam Koceich; Justin, Kayla and Jackson Vincent; Connor, Logan, Camryn and Sullivan Thurman; Lilliwyn Vincent; Casey Coy and Joey Dattilo.

Nick is preceded in death by his parents Charles “Lynn” and Marion Taylor, sisters Marion Lynn O’Connor, Frances Graham, Margaret Bellamy, and step-son K. C. Howell.
