My name is Josh Duncan and I am raising money on behalf of Mr Joe Taylor. Mr Joe has been in the Icu for the past 2 weeks on a ventilator and a feeding tube with 24/7 around the clock medical care. This is due to having multiple arteries burst in his stomach due to ulcer complications. From the blood loss, he had to receive an extensive blood transfusion. During this time he had a stroke and coded twice for 20 minutes having to be resuscitated. Due to these complications it has caused his brain to swell and for him to lose brain function on both sides. The family is currently removing him off Icu care and letting hospice take over because of the length of time your aloud to be on the Icu machines. Mr Joe leaves behind a very strong wife Mrs. Isha Taylor, his amazing boys and his strong daughter. Faith and family was everything to him. I was blessed and fortunate to be able to call him a friend. Mr Joe was a pillar of character and strength here at Cbs Nuclear. There was never a day he wasn't in a great mood and lifting the shop with his positivity. Every single day he would clock in and speak to everyone and make some kind of joke to keep spirits high. If you had any problem with life or in general he was always there to listen and give advice but never judge. After speaking to Mr Joe you always had this smile on your face with a new perspective to motivate you to do better. He always lived everyday with the phrase ringing true " attitude of gratitude". One of the most humble men and had a character that would challenge you to serve others above yourself. I can't speak enough in this story about how the last few years of getting to know him changed me for the better. Many men that have came through this shop will all say the same thing. Mr Joe is one of those people who come into your life and you never forget the warmth of his personality and the impact he had on you. From the bottom of my heart I just want to say thank you to anyone who donates to the Taylor family.
