We Love You, Luke!! You Are Home!!

Luke Taylor
Luke Hulet Taylor, 23 months, our wonderful, beautiful boy, returned home to our Father in Heaven on Nov. 3, 2009, at St. Alphonsus Regional Medical Center.

Luke was born Dec. 1, 2007, in Boise to Brian and Jan Taylor and was welcomed into the family by his two older brothers, Joshua and Michael. For such a short sojourn on Earth, Luke learned to do so many things. He could walk, run, talk, and boy could he climb. He would repeat everything that was said to him, but his favorite phrase was, "Where'd it go?" Our favorite thing he would say was "I Love You!" He loved cars, trains and Elmo. He loved to snuggle with his blue blanket and suck his thumb.

Luke will always be remembered for his infectious smile, his bright eyes, his horrible cowlicks and most of all his teasing nature, which he inherited from his dad. He was loved by so many people and will be missed by all. Luke, we are so proud of you and we love you. We look forward to being able to hold you and see you again.

Luke is survived by his parents, Brian and Jan Taylor; his brothers, Joshua, 8, and Michael, 6; his grandparents, Arlen Butikofer, Janis Butikofer, Karen Taylor and Kay Taylor; a great-grandparent, Wanda Whittier; and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends who love him and will miss him very much.

Funeral services will be at 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, at the Kuna LDS Second Ward, 224 E. Avalon in Kuna with Bishop Layne Thornton officiating. A viewing will be from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. today and from 9 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Saturday, both at the church. Interment will be at 4 p.m. Saturday in Ririe-Shelton Cemetery. Arrangements are being provided by the Zeyer Funeral Chapel in Nampa.
