JT - Jeff Taylor Sr.

Many thoughts running through my head regarding JT. Not sure I can put it into words right now. I'm stunned and pained by this.

our family's thoughts and prayers go out to the Taylor family.....

God bless you and bring you peace during this difficult time.

Again, this is so sad. JT was a great help to use when our son was considering whether or not to go to college at Lynchburg or, possibly, two other schools in the same general area. He will be missed.

While not knowing Jeff, I am also saddened by this. Whenever we lose someone it is difficult and we ask why. One thing I know is that on here we are all in the same frame of mind and share the same life as JT, so it affects us all in a deeply personal way.

My prayers go out to Mary Clare and Jeffrey and to all the family. May the Lord comfort you and keep you in this time of sorrow. May He provide a quiet assurance of his love He has for you and that Jeff is with Him today.

and in that I draw my comfort and I pray yours.........my sincere condolences to all...

Mary Clare and Family:

JT was a very special member of this community and will be greatly missed. I am a better person for having known him electronically and only wish that I could have met him face to face.

My thoughts and prayers will be with you today and always.

Such sadness....my prayers go out to his family and friends....

What a terrible loss. JT was always kind and helpful. We send our hopes for peace for his family.

I have not visited the General forum in a few days and just saw this thread.

I am so very sad to hear this news. My thoughts and prayers are with Mary Clare, Jeffrey and their entire family.

Like many of you I respected JT and his posts...

Such sad news, my prayers are with the family.

May he rest in peace.

Anyone whose last few minutes on earth were spent playing the sport he loved with the son he loved must've lived an awfully good life to deserve that. Very sad for us though.

Just saw this thread. I am heartbroken. Thoughts and prayers to Jeff's family. May the Lord Jesus Christ comfort you with His peace that passes understanding.

Amen. May God comfort you all at this time,

Mary Clare,

My prayers go out to your family.

My sincere condolences and prayers to the Taylor family and a special prayer for Jeffery

The article referenced on the first page (in the Lynchburg newspaper) has been updated. There is also a picture of Jeff provided by Liberty University. Adding the link again so no one has to go searching.

For those of you near Lynchburg, heard from the team that a viewing will be held on Friday night from 6 - 8pm with the funeral Saturday morning at 10:00am. I'm sure the details and locations will be in the same newspaper this link takes you too.

Still so shocked and saddened by this absolute tragedy.

I have read JT's post on this forum for years, so even though I didn't know him, I feel like I knew him. I truly feel for Jeff Jr. and his mother. My sincere condolences to the entire family.

With all the hours spent at the ballfield, a special relationship develops between a player and his father. There isn't a player or father out there who doesn't share the emotion of what is must be a surreal reality for the Taylor family. What a freak accident. I just hope Jeff Jr. will continue to play... I'm sure his dad would want him to continue.

Doesn't matter if you're doing something you love ...with someone you love (such as pitching BP to your son) or sick with a terminal illness....when the Lord calls you to His Home...it's time to go Home. We can't understand why or how something like this can happen, but God is in control and he will provide a way to survive even this. May God strengthen this family and bring them peace in their spirit...peace that passes understanding.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Taylor family.

To Mary Clare and Jeffery,

My heart breaks for you, the rest of your family, and Jeffery's baseball family. I'm sure that God has taken Jeff in His arms. And His loving arms will comfort you.

Peace be with you --
