Craig Taylor

Jimmie Craig Taylor Jr., 56, of Murray, Ky., formerly of Union City, died Wednesday, Sept. 26, 2018, at his residence in Murray.
A memorial services will be 1 p.m. Saturday at White-Ran-son Funeral Home, with his uncle, the Rev. Jerrell Dawson officiating.
“Craig” was born March 26, 1962, in Memphis, to the late Jimmie Craig Taylor Sr. and Martha Jean (Dawson) Taylor. He was the grandson of the late Russell and Olean Dawson and the late Charlie and Geneva Taylor, all of Lauderdale County.
He attended South Side High School in Jackson, where he lived most of his life.
He was happiest spending time with his son, granddaughter and family. He always had a funny story to tell and lived life fearlessly. He loved walking in the woods and working in wood and leather — he was artistically and mechanically brilliant.
He was always available to help when a neighbor or elder needed anything done. He had a big heart and anyone who knows him will remember his sense of humor, his loving spirit and the love he had for his son and family.
He was a machinist at Briggs and Stratton Corp. in Murray.
He is survived by one son, Charlie Taylor of Union City; one granddaughter, Annaliese Taylor of Union City; two sisters, Tammie Taylor-Phelps of Hornbeak and Kimily Taylor of Collierville; and one brother, Jeffrey Taylor of Benton, Ky.
