Robert “Bobby” Alfred Taylor, 73, of Warnock, Kentucky went home to be with the Lord on Monday, May 10, 2021 at his home surrounded by his family who loved him dearly.

He humbly served the Little Rosa and Little Mary Church as a Deacon for 20 years. He was a member of the Philadelphia Church in the Union Association in Pikeville, Kentucky. One of his greatest joys in life was attending church and enjoying the sweet fellowship with his church family, but his greatest joy was his family. He took great pride in his family and loved them deeply. Bobby was one of the kindest, caring, most humble men you would ever know. He would never accept those compliments but would tell you to “look towards God”. It was our privilege and honor to call him Husband, Daddy, Papaw, Brother and Friend. He was loved beyond measure and will be greatly missed.
