Irvin "Cooney" Taylor's Obituary
Irvin "Cooney" Taylor took his final breath on June 8th, 2022, at age 82 in Houston, Texas. His parents Ann Parker and Cornelius Taylor welcomed him into the world on September 14th, 1939, in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he lived through his adolescent years. Soon after graduating high school, he started his career in the oil and gas industry, where his work as an offshore rig superintendent allowed him to travel all over the world. During his retirement years, he’s been able to enjoy many hobbies which include fishing, golfing, watching sports, and spending time with his loved ones. Cooney lived a full and warm life filled with joy and love. He will be fondly remembered and sorely missed. Cooney is survived by his wife Rina Taylor, children Todd Taylor, Tresa (Scott) Louderback, Leandra (Brian) Grant, and Lorrine Taylor, as well as many grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free
I’m following the path God has laid you see.
I took His hand when I heard him call
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way
I found that peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full, I savored much
Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee
God wanted me now; He set me free.
