It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our son, brother, nephew, cousin and friend, Russell Scott Taylor, who died on April 14, 2024, at the young age of 32.

Russell was born on January 30, 1992, in Provo, Utah, the son of Scott W. Taylor and Janell (Taylor) Johnson. Russell attended schools in Provo, Spanish Fork and Salem, Utah.

Russell worked various jobs throughout his life, including landscaping and construction. Learning to operate construction equipment and doing dirt work in the industry. Riding dirt bikes and working on his car were some of his favorite things to do.

Then there was Marley! A Boxer, his best friend and playmate. Oh, how he loved that dog!! He had a love for Boxers as they were his favorite breed of dog.

Russell was a tender-hearted young man who loved and cared so much about his family always giving hugs and telling us how much he loved us all. Though he struggled with addiction most of his life sadly that's what caused his death. Through the battles of his addiction there was always love, inspiration and hope from his family to overcome and fight the demons of addiction off.

Russell is survived by his mother, Janell Johnson, (Provo, UT), his father Scott W. Taylor, (Bigfork, MT), his siblings Madyson K. Brailsford (Provo, UT), Ceciley Taylor (Somers, MT) and Alec J Taylor, (Bigfork, MT). Many aunts, uncles and cousins.

He was proceeded in death by his grandparents, Annette W. Taylor and Theodore "Ted" M. Taylor, (Provo, UT). Cary Kay Swain (Payson, UT) and James Russell Cloward (Payson, UT).

We will always love you for being Russell and the fun memories we have of you!

Russell is now free from his addiction and pain, and we will see you again!

A Celebration of Life will happen at a later date. Friends and family may share memories and condolences online at www.walkersanderson.com on Russell's obituary.
