Robert R. Taylor, a resident of New Braunfels, passed away on Thursday evening, December 14, 2017 at Resolute Health Hospital in New Braunfels at the age of 70.

My condolences to the Taylor families I’m sorry to hear about the loss of dear Robert. Some Bible scriptures that have helped me during times of loss include Isaiah 26:19 and Psalm 37:28,29 which states in part: “Your dead ones will live…They will rise up”. And the Bible also says “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will forever reside upon it”. Therefore the Bible promises that we may be reunited with our loved ones lost in death by means of an earthly resurrection. This is further confirmed by John 5:28,29 which says: “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out”. This is possible thanks to Jesus Christ’s ransom sacrifice. Thus we have a genuine hope of everlasting life in a world without wickedness or suffering. I hope that these scriptures will be of some comfort to you”.
Mr. Taylor was a very very nice man with a wonderful family. My thoughts and prayers are with them at this very hard time. Christine Baumann
Bob was always an upbeat person with a ready smile. He was the witty person you always wanted to be. His grin made you wonder what he was planning next. He was a good friend and I never saw him when he had a bad day. My mother was a close friend to Bob’s mother.
Rest in peace Bob. Enjoyed working with you. My sympathy to the family.
When I think back at my memories of Bobby I can’t help from smile and even chuckle. He was always a very witty person. He was always smiling and cracking jokes. He and his buddies were unique to say the least. He was a major part of the fond memories that I cherish from high school. Although we have had little to no contact since Jal I am saddened knowing he is no longer with us. Sincerely, Beverly Bowinton Burson
