| About | Walker Herring Taylor Mr. Taylor, of Charlotte, was born into this world on July 23, 1986 in Henderson, NC. He lived in Greensboro, Charlotte, and Davidson with his family. In Charlotte, Walker was a member of Covenant Presbyterian Church where he was active in the youth group, and participated in several mission trips including Heifer International. Walker graduated from Providence High School in June 2005, and has been a student at Auburn University for the past four years. He was a proud Auburn Tiger, and was majoring in Forestry. Walker treasured his many friendships at Auburn, and loved living in Alabama. Walker's passion was anything involving the outdoors including hunting, fishing, kayaking, and boating. He spent any chance he had quail hunting at his Papa's cabin in Newton Grove, NC. We rejoice knowing Walker has entered the Kingdom of Heaven where God will wrap His loving arms around him and reunite Walker with all his loved ones who have gone before him.
