January 7, 2021, 69, Goldsboro –

Roger Elliot Taylor, 69, stepped away from this world to begin walking the streets of gold on January 7, 2021. Roger was born in Greene County to the late Eddie Russel and Sue Taylor Kennedy on February 3, 1951.

Roger was known to keep to himself, never making much conversation with anyone including his family. With a quiet and reserved personality, he spent his time enjoying the world around him through daily walks.

No matter the path chosen for that day, Roger was most happy when he reached his destination on foot. Whether cold or hot, no force of nature at play would prevent him from taking his time communing with nature.

A private service will be held at a later date at Cobb Cemetery.

Roger is survived by his siblings, Debbie Sauls, Betty Anderson and her honey, Jerry Aldridge, and Timmy Taylor; nephews and nieces, Brandon Sauls, Tonya Harrell, Baxter Taylor, Jr., Angela Sue Summerlin, Jodi Summerlin, Amanda Summerlin, and Dustin Summerlin; as well as many great-nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, Roger was preceded in death by his siblings, Eddis Lee Taylor, Baxter Taylor, and Rita Summerlin.
