Reflections for Master Trooper Calvin Eugene Taylor

I was asking my grandmother stories about first responders as she had worked around them her whole life. When I asked about any State Troopers she brought you up. In early 1984 my Uncle had been injured by a cinder block on his finger. My grandmother and grandfather went to the local medical clinic in Statesville, NC and they told them they couldn’t help them. And that they had to go to Mission Hospital in Asheville, NC. And, during their (and perhaps speedy) trip down the highway. You pulled them over. My grandfather then jumped out the car and explained the situation. And, my grandmother had worked with your wife at the hospital. And you understood the situation they were in and gave them an escort down the highway. You are maybe the sole reason my uncle kept his pinky. Rest in Peace, Master Trooper Taylor.

I just drove under the memorial bridge and looked up Calvin’s name on the internet. So sorry for the loss in the Taylor family.

Yesterday, October 3rd, I was able to visit the NLEOM and touch your name etched on that wall. You'll always be a part of my heart. Thanks so much for the last words we shared less than 24 hours before you died

It was 19 years ago today but it seems like yesterday when I received that dreaded telephone call that changed our lives forever. During your short time on this earth you touched many lives including mine. I can see your smiling face. Thank you for your encouraging words to Mallory. You were the example of who a law enforcement officer should be. You will always be in our minds and hearts. I know that you are in heaven looking down on us. RIP Brother.

IT HAS BEEN 19 YEARS SINCE HE WAS TAKEN AWAY. WE STILL MISS HIM AND TALK ABOUT HIM ALL THE TIME. WE HAVE SOME VERY PRECIOUS MEMORIES OF CALVIN. HE WAS ONE OF A KIND, WHAT A SENSE OF HUMOR...HE LOVED TO LAUGH AND LOVED TO MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH. I AM SURE THAT CALVIN AND MOM WERE WAITING WITH OPEN ARMS AND JUBILATION WHEN UNCLE TROY JOINED THEM LAST MONTH.....MISSING G530

Calvin,

17 years ago you were taken from us much too soon. On a bright sunny day much like today. You were out serving and protecting the citizens of North Carolina. Thank you for your service and for all you did for myself and my family. You will always be in our hearts and minds. RIP brother. You will never be forgotten.

On October 3rd 2001, a beautiful autumn day
A North Carolina State Trooper
Was keeping us safe, patrolling the highway

He was on I 40 east of exit 27
When the angels came down
And took him through the gates of heaven

We miss his beautiful smile and twinkling eyes
And our lives will never be the same
Oh how we wish we could have said our good byes

We believe what we have always been told
That one day we we will all join him there
Where he is patrolling the streets of gold
