Steven Mark Taylor, age 67, of Apache Junction, AZ passed away on
Tuesday, March 30, 2021. Steve was born in Lenexa, Kansas to Mack
Baylis and Doris Jean Taylor.

He left behind a devoted wife, Sharon. They loved to travel across
Arizona together but their very favorite place was in their beautiful
home that they designed themselves. The two of them spent many hours
on their porch watching the sunset and dancing in their living room.

Other than his wife, he is survived by three children; Rebecca (Bryan)
Wade, Audrey (Matt) Holt, Steven (Larissa) Taylor, and two bonus
children; Barry Creel, and Joy (Aaron) Saltou. His sweet grandchildren
are missing him greatly: Emma Jane, Nora Bryn, Luke Wade; Ally Jae
Virden, and Liliana Lynn Saltou.

Steve loved to spend time camping with his children when they were
younger and continued to share in that joy as they grew, taking all of
his family on many hikes. Fishing and playing baseball with his
grandkids were some of his greatest joys. He was a lifelong fan of the
Los Angeles Dodgers, Dallas Cowboys, and Phoenix Suns, all of which
frequently disappointed him. Steve made sure to watch just about every
sport, musical or historical documentary he could find. If you knew
Steve, you knew his sweet laugh and great sense of humor. Bruce
Springsteen, The Beach Boys, and The Beatles were some of his most
frequently played music. His death leaves a hole in the hearts of
those that knew him and loved him.

A private service will be held at a later date.
