Rick Taylor

Richard "Rick" Taylor, (52) lifelong resident of Cincinnati, passed away peacefully in his sleep Thursday, August 11, 2016 at his Fairfield home. Rick was known to many as an immaculate athlete, but he was an even better father, and even still, a better man. Rick lived his final days in the same fashion he lived his life - with optimism and a sense of humor.

Taylor is survived by longtime girlfriend Sherri Seegers, two daughters Elizabeth Taylor and Jamie Taylor, mother Judy Taylor (Kunkel), sister Michelle Gailey (Taylor) and husband Todd, two nieces Rachel Menke (Sheehan) and Sydney Gailey, nephew Noah Gailey, and brother Nathan Taylor. He was preceded in death by his beloved father, Fred Taylor.
