Jack Taylor

Jack Taylor, 63, of Rochester, Minnesota, formerly of Ames, Iowa, passed away on February 24, 2024, surrounded by his loving family.

Jack was born on March 15, 1960, in Creston, Iowa to Sharon and Gordon Taylor. Jack spent his childhood in Mason City, Iowa, where he graduated from Mason City High School in 1978.

Jack met his wife Vicki while living in Ames, Iowa, and the two were married in 1989. The couple spent many years living and working in Colorado, where they enjoyed their love for the outdoors by skiing and hiking. Eventually, they moved back to Ames, Iowa where they raised their two children, Keaton and Riley.

Jack's unwavering positivity and profound love for his family and friends was an inspiration to all who met him. Jack will be remembered for his kind spirit, generous smile, and common sense approach to life. He loved to laugh.

He is survived by his wife of 35 years, Vicki, and their two children Keaton and Riley who he adored. They were his greatest pride and joy. Also surviving Jack are his siblings, nieces, nephews, aunts and uncles. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends.

In keeping with Jack's wishes, no formal service will be held at this time. The family will gather to celebrate Jack's life at a later date.
