It’s so hard to believe it’s been 21 years, almost to the minute since you were taken from us all. In some ways it seems like yesterday. In other ways it seems like a million years since we’ve seen that smile and heard that laughter. We all miss you very much and remember you with love & pride.

You were a loving son, devoted husband, a loyal friend and a dedicated law enforcement officer.

Always in our hearts #108

This is a good day to Memorialize your passing. I know the Lord will use you in your new home too. Thank you for being the man God called you to be. Thank you for being the Authority God called you to be. To lay down your life for your friends and country. I give that a high esteem. Thanks you for witnessing to all the people who were lost. We need more people like you. I was talking about your death and i still filled with tears last week. Lord please pass this on. God bless all the Law Enforcement officers today! In Him, Margaret

Hi Son:
Been thinking a lot about you the last few days. Knowing that your Birthday was coming up. Doesn't seem possible you would be 58 years old tomorrow September 2, 2022.
I miss you so much, know it will always be that way.

Your sister Melissa is doing fine, you won't believe this but she is a Grandmother with three grandsons and one granddaughter. Your niece Corinne and her husband Nathan are the parents. Of course that makes me a Great
Grandmother and they are the sweetest little kids. God has Blessed us with them.
Wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday and let you know
you will never be forgotten.
Love and Hugs

Morris came to Coos County Corrections as a young officer. I remember him being personable and always having a smile on his face. During his tenure at Coos County he was one of the more responsible Deputies despite his young age. Deputy Morris Taylor will be mussed terribly not only by his brothers and sisters in arms but by any community member he came on contact with. God Speed Morris and may you Rest In Peace.

Please know that we won't forget his service or his heroism for his community. We still care about him and you! I pray when you look at his picture, your memories of him comfort you as mine do me when I look at my fallen husband's face. I wish I could give those who loved him a hug!

I used to work at the Fire Dept. and the Gateway Inn restaurant in Drain. I was also a close friend of his partner at the time. Morris would come in to both quite often. He was such a kind good man who would light up the room with his laughter and infectious smile. I remember having long conversations with him about all sorts of things, aliens, God, just the world in general at the office and fire dept. He would bring kids from around the community that did not have a good home life into the restaurant and feed them out of his own pocket. He truly cared about his family, friends and community and is soo greatly missed and thought of often.

Morris, I was thinking about you today while I was talking to an applicant whose home was damaged by hurricane Delta this year in LA. She has had a terrible loss of a family member who was trying to be a hero and help someone, then losing his life.

As we were reflecting I talked to her about you and how we handle grief over the years and how the grief never goes away. I found out that she also had a family member who some years ago was also an officer who lost his life in the line of Duty. I guided her here to these memorial pages she did not know existed.

I believe you guided me to do this. I believe our energy never goes away, this is how God works.... The world is not a better place without you, but Heaven is.

Morris, I barely knew you, we worked together at my father's Mobil gas station 1645 W. 190th St. Gardena, Ca.
I remember your father Lynn Taylor. We also had one class together in the 12th grade, Narbonne High School. I'm Joe Rios's son and although we spoke from time to time, I still remember that you were always a optimistic all around nice guy. My prayers go out to you and your family.

Missing Mo, and love reading new messages from family and all who loved him. Mo and I were Law enforcement colleagues but we shared our faith in Christ first. He invited me to a bible study, and a valuable connection began.

Mo was a man of God, one who loved his family and served his community with distinction. Those who knew him saw Mo, "the comedian" emerge regularly. Thankfully I knew him. We will have a wondeful reunion one day.
