Taylor Jackson

Taylor Lee Jackson, 32, departed this world on Wednesday, December 17, 2025. Taylor was born and raised in Wenatchee, WA. Taylor was proud and excited to become a big brother to Colton when he was in kindergarten. He included Colton as much as possible to visit classroom show and tell, lunch buddy and every school day functions. He loved animals and had many lizards, snakes, spiders, gerbils, cats and dogs over the years. He also volunteered at the Humane Society. When he was 12 years old, he brought home a rescue dog named Sadie who was a very special part of the family forever. Taylor was active in year-round sports, hobbies and activities. His lifelong passions include playing and listening to music, skateboarding, longboarding, snowboarding and helping others learn to snowboard as an instructor. He participated on the track team and played football, enjoyed building and racing Remote Control cars with his father and watching the show Battle Bots. One of his biggest hobbies was Pokémon and Pikachu. He started collecting trading cards and everything Pokémon when he was 5 years old and his love for the game gave him many lifelong connections with other friends and collectors from across the nation. Taylor loved to travel and he enjoyed nature and the outdoors. He went on many family trips over the years to ski and snowboard resorts, camping, hiking and visiting family in Oregon, New Mexico, California and trips to Hawaii, Spain and Florida. Taylor was a talented musician starting in school band, then he self-studied bass guitar in a metal band for years with friends. His love for music took him to many places, going to music shows at many venues ranging from small clubs to larger music festivals at the Gorge Amphitheater and around the west coast. Vans Warped Tour was next on his list at the Gorge. His love for music took him to many places, beginning with small adventures with a band he was in For Days To Come, then later bigger trips to see the band Miss May I, with whom he had formed a special friendship with over the years. He went on tour around the west coast area with a local Seattle band Osatia who he supported, and it was the best experience, being on the road. He enjoyed B rated horror films and loved to make fun of them, always laughing and quoting different lines from movies and music. Taylor has one son, Syrex Valentine, whom he is very proud of and did his best to raise him. Taylor accepted everybody and was the most kind, loving soul and friend to people from around the world. He was a warrior trying to help others in his own way, always positive and encouraging and had the best sense of humor. Taylor is survived by his parents, Justin and Barbara Jackson; brother, Colton Jackson; son, Syrex Valentine, and many aunts, uncles, cousins and countless friends who he cherished with all his heart. He will be missed very much; he left a big void in the world that cannot be filled. He will be forever in our hearts. A private celebration of Taylor’s life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to a fund in Taylor’s name for his young son, Syrex, at Wells Fargo bank.
