ROCKY MOUNT- Jason Roy Taylor "J-Byrd", 31, passed away Sunday, July 4, 2010. Jason had a passion for spending time with family and friends, hunting, riding 4-wheelers and grilling. He could be found most anytime in front of a smoke billowing grill preparing something he would share with anyone who stopped by. He was a friend to all and especially precious to his best friend and wife, Priscilla.
Jason is preceded in death by his infant twin sons, Jacob Aiden and Thomas Alexander Taylor. He is survived by his wife Priscilla Stilwell Taylor, Parents, Roy Junior and Paula Scarbel Taylor of Nashville, Sister April Scarbel Rashaw, Brothers John Craig Taylor and wife Tia, Joshua Dale Taylor and wife Michelle. Jason is also survived by 8 nieces and 3 nephews and many Aunts and Uncles. Jason had the most amazing group of friends who loved and supported him through his life. They truly were a group he called brothers from another mother.
A memorial service will be held 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, July 7, 2010 at Wheeler and Woodlief Funeral Home. The family will receive friends from 6-7:30pm at the funeral home prior to the service.
In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to the American Diabetes Association, 2418 Blue Ridge Road, Suite 206 , Raleigh , NC 27607 .

Jay, How is a sister suppose to say goodbye to her First brother That is a question I am finding very difficult to answer. The last time we spoke it was see ya soon; talk to ya later and I love you,and now just a few days later the reality of never seeing or talking to you again still doesn’t seem real. From the fights we had as kids to the friendship we developed as adults there has always been love and respect for each other. There were many times when we didn’t agree with each others desicions; but we still stuck by each other through it all and dared anyone to speak againts the other; for we were ready to fight and defend because hey that’s my sister!!as you were so fond of saying and me hey wait a minute; that’s my brother your talking about! could be heard loudly responded. You are a great man, and a wonderful friend. You will be missed by all who’s lives you touch even in the smallest way. For me and the rest of the family and friends their is no greater loss; our Jay-Jay can never be replaced. May you find peace in Heaven with your boys, friends and family. Know that you are forever in our hearts and prayers; never futher way than a thought; and a smile. I LOVE YOU BROTHER FOREVER YOUR SISSY
My darling Jason, I miss you so much! Your scent still lingers in every corner of our home. Moxie keeps vigil at the back door waiting for you to walk in. Your boots are still out waiting for you to put on those long socks and boot up. I went on line to look at the grocery store flyer and didn’t have you around to tell me if the sale on steaks was a good one. I guess I will pass on the steaks. The door knob on the storm door is loose and I can’t find the screwdriver to fix it. I will put one foot in front of the other and get up every day and put your medicine out. And I will breathe in and breathe out, but it will never be the same without you. You are my life. I love you to the moon and back times infinity plus 1. Your Boop.
Family and Friends, Even though I have not seen Jason in years to hear this is very upsetting. I remember a lot of different memories of cooking out with Jason. I think he even helped me move a few times. Not only that my son spent tonight with him and Barbara a few times. It should show his character to know that you could trust your children with him. I went through some hard times in my life about 8 years ago and Jason and Barabar were there for me. He was a very kind person and I think he would have done anything to help you if you truely needed it.. I am thankful for the time in my life that I was friends with Jason… He would make you smile that is for sure!!!! Rest in peace J-Bird!!!!!

We were shocked and in disbelief when we we returned home and heard the sad news of our friend Jason. Jason, while me and Bruce did not know you for very long we felt we had. We will miss you and your sweet smile. Don’t worry about Pris, Bruce said he would go over and fix whatever needs to be fixed. WE will help look after her, she has become like a sister to me and we will always be there for her. Check in on my sister, Penny, and say hello. We will miss you, Love, Bruce and Peggy
I can’t begin to tell you how much Mathew is struggling with you being gone.. He misses you more everyday. I wish he could type this and express how he feels. He still wakes up crying at night and ask if he can talk to you yet. Wants to know when he will see you again. And why you had to go. And as the passing of every nite into another day we have this same talk. And i tell him that he will see you soon enough and you look down on him daily… SO this is love from Your brother John, nephew Mathew and sister in law Tia..

If tears could build a stairway If tears could build a stairway, &nd memories a lane. I would walk riqht up to Heaven &nd brinq you back aqain. No farewell words were spoken. No time to say Goodbye. You were qone before i knew it, &nd only God knows why. My hears still aches with sadness &nd secret tears still flow. What ut meant to love you- No one could ever know. But now I know you want me to mourn for you no more. To remember all the happy times, life still has much in store. Since you’ll never be forqotten, I pledqe to you today- A hollowed place within my heart, is where you’ll always stay. I miss you Uncle Jay, I miss you everyday. You will always be in our hearts.

Miss me, but Let Me Go When I come to the end of the day And the sun has set for me I want no rites in a gloom-filled room. Why cry for a soul set free Miss me a little, but not too long And not with your head bowed low. Remember the love we shared- Miss me,but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take. And each must go alone. It’s all a part of the Maker’s plan, A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart Go to our loved ones And bury your sorrows In doing good deeds- Miss me, but let me go.

Jay so many memories of us and summer time keep playing in my head. The one that sticks out the most is me in a white and red stripes tank top and white shorts (mom telling me not to get them dirty…yeah right)you had on a blue shirt and a red shorts we went to somewhere for a cookout. I remember so well running around with you playing with sparklers, grill made of cinder blocks and a oven grate ,best chicken on the world, balancing plated on our knees, bbq sauce every where lol but we had a blast,watching a few fireworks from the yard, man those where the days…today is tough….people tell me all time hey I knew jaybird he was a great guy, or something like that……they seem to forget to me you where JASON my brother and my friend….I miss you…love always your sissy
My Dearest Child, the day you went away my heart was ripped from my chest, a part of me went with you and the world came crashing down around me. My Dearest Child, although time goes on without you, I think of you everyday and miss you so much it hurts. My Dearest Child, I have a knot in my chest that is painful, as if a knife has pierced my heart, and I know that the pain of losing you will be with me for all of my life. My Dearest Child, you were so precious, kind and gentle. It is so hard to accept that you had to go away. My Dearest Child, I cry for you every day and long to look upon your face, hear your voice, touch your cheek and hold you in my arms one more time like when you were a little boy and make everything right. My Dearest Child, I wish that it was a dream, and you were coming home, but you will never come, and a dream it will never be. My Dearest Child, I feel you with me sometimes and that makes me happy. The sadness in my heart is so hard to bare and crying is my only release. My Dearest Child, people tell me that I have other children, this I know I am not an idiot! Everyone should know that your brothers and sister cannot fill the void left by you, that space is yours and yours alone, just as each of them have their space. My Dearest Child, Only the people that have lost a child can know what I am feeling and the pain that I bare. Those others must remember that my life changed on this day that you went away. I will never be the same again. My Dearest Child, This is my time to grieve for the loss of my precious child. This is my time to cry and be sad for a while. And one day I will be able to think of you with a smile and fewer tears. And when I’m old and grey and my time on earth is done, I will come home to you in Heaven. My Dearest Child, remember that my love for you will never die, and I will miss you for the rest of my life. And I believe that you are an Angel looking over us from above beyond the distant stars. Love and miss you son. Love Mommie
I love and miss you so very much son. Keep watching over us.
