David H. Taylor, 72, of Riverton, passed away peacefully in his home and returned to his Heavenly Father on April 18, 2020 after a courageous battle with cancer. He was an amazing husband, father, brother, "Bopa" and a man that could fix anything that needed fixing. He was devoted to serving others and showed his love for Heavenly Father by serving His children with all his heart. He is survived by his wife and eternal companion, Elayne Larsen Taylor; his children Michelle (Zach), Michael, Eric (Suzanne); his Sister Ada (Garth); and his 7 grandkids who deeply loved their "Bopa."
