Taylor Aaron Parkinson was born July 13, 1998 in Rexburg, Idaho. He was the oldest of two boys. Taylor grew up in Rexburg with his Aunt Taytumn and Uncle Kyle.

He loved going for walks, playing video games and collecting knives and crystals. He enjoyed the outdoors and spent many hours camping and fishing with his family and friends. He was a bubbly young man and always had a huge smile on his face. He loved spending time with Taytumn and his good friend Dylan. They all grew up together and were constantly in each other's company. He enjoyed playing with his younger nieces and was excited when he became a big brother to Aydan when he was 11 years old. They spent a number of hours together and taught his little brother how to play video games. Taylor was a hard worker and has had a job since he was sixteen, including one at Taco Bell at the time of his passing.
