Master Taylor Michae Simpson was born December 2, 1999 in St. Louis, Missouri. Taylor spent all of his school years in the University City School District. He had plans to attend college to become a music producer. Taylor gave his life to God at the early age of 12, at Temple Church of Christ where he attended under the leadership of District Elder Ron Stephens. Taylor believed in loyalty to all he considered a friend. Taylor was a loving caring young man. Everyone that came across his path loved his beautiful smile! His grandmother would often joke and tell people, “Don’t look into the light”. Once they did, they would be hooked. Taylor was known as the life of any party, always leaving a lasting impression on everyone he met.
