Bailey Trenton Taylor

Bailey T Taylor, born on May 14, 2004, in Kettering, Ohio, left this world unexpectedly on September 27, 2026,

surrounded by his loving family. His departure leaves a deep void in the hearts of those who cherished him, but

his vibrant spirit and the warmth he shared continue to live on in their memories.

Bailey was a beloved son of Nicole M. Van Oss and William T. Taylor, and stepson to Theodore Van Oss. He was a

dear brother to Elena M. Buhrman, William E. Taylor, Trenton M. Taylor, Dallas M. Taylor, and Ryan Simon. He

also leaves behind his grandparents, Deborah A Buhrman and Craig S. Buhrman, Dave and Donna Murray, Ardyce

Van Oss, and great-grandmother Kate Buhrman.

Bailey's life was enriched by the presence of his extended family, including aunts and uncles Keri Scriven, Kyle

Buhrman, Tom Taylor, Aunt Bobbi Zimmerman, Amy Learned, and Phil and Jennifer Boyer. He was predeceased

by his Great-Grandmother Mary Stein, Great-Grandfather Ray Gebhart, Grandfather Thomas Van Oss, Great-Aunt

Florence Turner, and Great-Uncle Kevin Tokar.

A proud graduate of Archbishop Alter High School in 2022; Bailey went on to pursue his studies at the University

of Tennessee Martin. His passion for automobiles led him to work as an auto technician, where he applied his

natural curiosity and love for intricate detail. In high school and college, he played percussion in the band,

sharing his love for music with others.

Bailey was a young man of varied interests and boundless creativity. He found joy in art, music, cars, trains, and

the imaginative world of LEGO. His fascination with world history and military history revealed a keen intellect

and a deep appreciation for the stories that shaped our world. Movies were another of his passions, providing

him with a window into captivating narratives and memorable characters.

Known for his quick wit and warm smile, Bailey had a remarkable ability to make everyone feel welcome and

valued. His kindness and generosity were evident in his interactions with friends and family, and his presence

could light up any room. Bailey touched countless lives with his humor and compassion, leaving behind a legacy

of love and laughter.

In his memory, the family kindly suggests donations be made to a charity of choice that reflects Bailey's interests

and passions. His spirit will forever be celebrated by those who knew and loved him, and his memory will

continue to inspire kindness and joy.

Bailey will be deeply missed, but his legacy will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know

him. In keeping with his generous spirit and desire to help others, Bailey chose to be an organ donor. Through his

selfless gift, his legacy of kindness and compassion will continue by giving hope and the possibility of a better life

to others. May his soul rest in peace, surrounded by the love he so generously shared.

In lieu of flowers, the family of Bailey welcomes donations to
