James Taylor

A memorial service for James Edward Taylor, 77, of Haslet, will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 25, at Eagle Mountain International Church in Newark. Visitation will take place Monday evening from 6:00–8:00 p.m. at the funeral home. Interment is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. on December 1, 2025, at Dallas–Fort Worth National Cemetery.

James passed away on November 13, 2025, at his home, surrounded by his family. He was born on July 16, 1948, in Hugo, Oklahoma, to Deward and Ruby Taylor.

A proud U.S. Marine, James honorably served during the Vietnam Conflict. He was a devoted family man and a faithful churchgoer who rarely missed a service. Known for his big heart and easy friendliness, he truly never met a stranger. James found joy in simple pleasures—fishing, shooting, and watching his favorite westerns.

He is survived by his loving wife, Shirley Taylor; sons Kevin Taylor and wife Chuckie, and Brian Taylor.
