Obituary: George Maylon Taylor (Tom Cat)

George Maylon Taylor (Tom Cat) ~ September 18,1956 – August 17, 2024 (age 67)

George Maylon Taylor (Tom Cat) was born September 18,1956 in Somerville, Tennessee to Charles Maylon Taylor and Anne Lou Hayes Taylor. He departed from this life on Tuesday, August 17, 2024, at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital. His youngest sister, Betty Lou Thompson, was by his side. Several of his other siblings had the opportunity to talk with George before he passed and I know this made George very happy.

He attended Fayette County schools and was affectionately known as Tom Cat around Somerville. George was preceded in death by his parents and a daughter, Dana Gail Taylor. He leaves a daughter, Jennifer Taylor; four grandchildren, Jordan, Hannah, Journey, and Serenity; three sisters, Shirley Parker (Harvey Wayne), Lynda Billings (Solon), and Betty Thompson (Frank); and three brothers, Ricky (Millie), Carl, and Thomas “Pete” (Lisa Kay). 

The family will have a Celebration of Life for George at a later date.
