Alex Kidies Taylor was born February 16, 1986, the youngest child and only son of Daryel and Renee Taylor in West Monroe, LA. He departed this earthly life on January 16, 2024. Alex was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Frank A. Taylor & Thelma L. Taylor; his maternal grandparents, Willie K. Gordon, Jr. & Priscilla P. Gordon; and several aunts, uncles, and cousins.
After graduating from Redwater High School in Redwater, TX, he attended Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia, AR on a music scholarship. Alex was endowed with many talents, compassion, and filled with grace. He had the profound ability to hear and see the depth of one’s heart and translate it into works of art. With relentless passion, he strived for just the right combination of elements to produce timeless musical compositions.
Alex’s gentle patience allowed him to notice and celebrate the intricate details of life; he was an avid sports fan; and a fountain of generosity. Each gesture phrase and smile provided love and acceptance.
Alex leaves to cherish his memory: his devoted parents, Superintendent Daryel Taylor and Evangelist Missionary Renee Taylor – Thomasville, AL; his sisters, Shanta’ Gordon – Amite, LA and Daryl Taylor – Little Rock, AR; his nephew and niece, MinKaury Gordon and Auria Gordon – Amite, LA; and a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins.
