Jared was born September 21, 1981 in Lubbock Texas to Judith and David Taylor. He was a longtime resident of West Texas and graduated from Roosevelt High School in 2000. He married Karly Simek (Taylor) on October 5, 2012 and they had 3 children but divorced in 2021. He proudly served in the United States Army for 4 years while stationed at Fort Polk, Louisiana as well as his active duty overseas. He then worked for fire protection companies for many years before his sudden passing.

He was a loving and vibrant father, an ornery but protective brother and a stubborn son. He was also a crazy uncle to a handful of nieces and nephews and a great friend to so many. Jared was commonly known for his wild spirit and always making anyone around him feel comfortable. He was also known for his long and crazy "toasts" that we all loved to hear. He enjoyed playing with his kids at the park, singing karaoke and cooking with them. He was a huge sports fan and loyal to his Texas Longhorns and Texas Rangers. Jared loved his family and his friends were all like family to him as well. He was a very giving man and never wanted to see anyone he loved to struggle or go without. Anyone that knew him, could say that he knew how to make them laugh, in any situation.

He was preceded in death by his mother Judith Taylor in June of 2021. He is survived by his three beautiful children; Two daughters, Claudia Taylor and Frances Taylor, and one son, Dillon Taylor, all of Lubbock. He also leaves behind his father, David Taylor of Lubbock, two brothers, Jesse Campbell of Sweeny Tx and Joseph Campbell and wife Amanda of Lubbock, and a sister, Jennifer Taylor of Lubbock.
