David Elijah Taylor Metropolitan Funeral

David Elijah Taylor (Dabo) was born on January 3, 2006 in Norfolk, Virginia to Michael Stuart Taylor Sr. and Tanya McGowan-Taylor.  He was a rising Senior at Western Branch High School – Chesapeake Virtual Academy.

David was well traveled in his young life thanks to his “grandfather” Doug Fleming. He preferred comfort over flashy or expensive things. David was as an avid video gamer, known for his infectious smile, jovial attitude, musical talent and cooking skills.

David was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Stanley Sr. and Rosa Taylor, his maternal grandparents, David and Patsy McGowan and his eldest brother, Michael Stuart Taylor Jr.

He is survived by his parents, Michael Stuart Taylor Sr. and Tanya McGowan-Taylor, his maternal grandmother, JoAnn Harris and his siblings, Solomon Taylor (Precious), Esther Johnson (Carnell), Samuel Taylor (Star), Jeremiah McGowan, Reuben Taylor, Caren Taylor, Hannah Taylor and Joshua Taylor-Watson, his aunts, Barbara Ford, Robbie Harris, Crystal Harris, Tondra Harris, and Lori Connerly, his uncles, Stanley Taylor Jr. (Rachel), Dino Harris (Frances), Vittorio Harris and a multitude of nieces, nephews and cousins.

David loved his family, especially his nieces, Londyn and Harmonii who were like his baby sisters to him and whom he helped raise. He enjoyed playing with all of his nieces and nephews, whenever he had the opportunity to and never hesitated to teach them all something cool or fun. David had close friendships with Tarek, Talik and JoJo.

David was an amazing young man and will be sorely missed by all whom he came in contact with.
