Throughout his years of service with MCES, he responded into the City of Forsyth many times to assist our department during incidents. No matter the situation, Bobby was always a helping hand and a welcome face during some of the toughest moments. He was dependable. He was selfless. And when help was needed, Bobby was someone you could count on to show up. Our department and our community mourn the loss of a great public servant and friend. We are forever grateful for Bobby’s service, his willingness to help others, and the impact he made on those fortunate enough to serve alongside him.” Taylor’s funeral will be held Thursday, September 10 at Maynard Baptist Church, located at 1195 Juliette Road in Forsyth.
