James L. Taylor Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Mr. James L. Taylor, affectionately known as “Bubba”, answered God's call to rest on, May 13, 2017. James was born, October 5, 1931 to Mr. and Mrs. Charlie and Henrietta Taylor in Logan County, Russellville, Kentucky. James was the youngest of six siblings, Thusel J., Bennie Mae, Charles, Dorthy, and Sammy L. As a young man, he was united in holy matrimony to his life long love, Bessie Mae Woods. To their union, four children were born; Lonnie, JoAnn, Henrietta and Robert. “Bubba” was a jubilant spirit, always finding a reason to laugh and share an uplifting word of kindness. He was a faithful member of State Street Baptist Church for many years. He was a God fearing man; true lover of life, hardly ever meeting a stranger. He would often put the needs of other, particularly those of his family, before is own. “Bubba” was admired by his family and friends for being a hard worker and great provider. He relocated his family to Bowling Green, Kentucky in 1963, where he worked as a share cropper and a skillful show horse trainer, groomer and transporter for local horse shows for approximately 10 years. His love for travel led him to a successful career as a cross country truck driver. After retirement, Bubba never stopped an active lifestyle. Because of his love for helping others and working with his hands, he established his own lawn-care service that he operated with pride until an unfortunate lengthy illness slowed him down. He was preceded in death by his parents, Charlie and Henrietta Taylor; wife, Bessie Mae Taylor; son, Robert Taylor; brothers, Thusel Jenkins, Charles Taylor, Sammy Lewis Taylor; and sister, Bennie Mae Forte. To mourn his passing, cherish his memory and celebrate his life are: a loving sister, Dorothy Forte; a supportive son, Lonnie Taylor; two loving daughters, JoAnn Taylor -Britt and Henrietta Washington; son-in-law, Gregory Britt; sisters in law, Annie Elizabeth Taylor and Elizabeth Taylor; seven grand children; Adrian, Cory, Dewayne, Shardae, Keith, Briana and Cassie; twelve great grandchildren; Kaelyn, Katalyna, Jordan, Jude, Dekylan, Damari, Issac, Dominique, Tamia, Cory, Imani, and Patrick; and a host of relatives and friends.
