Earl Taylor

February 17, 1929 - January 24, 2020

Taylor, Earl R. (formerly of Sewickley, Pennsylvania) born February 17, 1929 went to be with the Lord on January 24, 2020 after battling prostate cancer and Alzheimer's. He was preceded in death by his parents, William and Annabelle Taylor, a sister Willamina Dick and his first wife of 37 years, Joan Chmay Taylor. He is survived by his wife of 28 years, Whitney Woods Taylor and their children Eric (Cyndi), Jennifer (Guy Miller), Rebecca (Rich Stinson), Sydney (Rick Moyer), and Lindsay Satterfield. He is also survived by his 8 grandchildren, Josh Taylor (Sabrina), Christopher Taylor, Jessica Gerhart, Jack Huffman, Cole Huffman, David Moyer (Hannah), Leslie Ferguson (Joe), Samantha Moyer, and 5 great grandchildren. Also a sister-in-law, Kendall Woods and brother-in-law, Bill Woods. Earl was born in Minneapolis and moved at 11 to Pittsburgh, PA which he called home for 70 years before settling in South Carolina. He attended Fifth Avenue High School and it was there that he developed his passion for reading, love of the early jazz scene, and anything having to do with history, particularly the Civil War. Earl was thought of by many as the ultimate salesman and in 1967 he founded his own sales rep business, Metals, Inc. selling steel, castings and forgings until he retired at age 85. Most importantly, Earl was a fervent believer in Jesus Christ. He loved the Lord and spoke boldly about his faith. He attended church regularly and served in numerous capacities. “YOU CAN NEVER OUTGIVE GOD” was a motto that he would exemplify throughout his life. Known as Pop-Pop or Pee Paw to his grandchildren, he is remembered as loving and generous by them always delivering a sense of humor, yet challenging each of them to do their best. The service of celebration will be held on Thursday, January 30, 2020 at 1:00 PM in the Old Church at All Saints Church Pawleys Island. In lieu of flowers please make contributions to All Saints Church Pawleys Island.
