Taye attended Crestview Elementary School and was getting ready to start 4th grade. He was the class clown and was well loved by all his classmates and teachers.

He had the ability to make a strong impact on every person he met. Taye had a fearless attitude and no challenge was too big for him to accomplish. In his free time, he loved to pull all night benders with his brothers on his Xbox. One of Taye's favorite hobbies was to hoverboard with his dad around town. Taye lived by his favorite quote, "Ain't nobody got time for that." He will be dearly missed by all those who came in contact with him.
