It's with heavy heart that I report the loss of another Utah Hero. 1LT James W. Taylor Jr., a U.S. Army Reservist and RN Flight Nurse, died of injuries suffered in a two-helicopter crash near Flagstaff, Az. on June 29th. Both were medical helicopters transporting patients at the time of the collision. Six people died at the scene. James, the sole survivor at the scene, died Friday from his injuries.
The family has requested PGR attendance at the funeral services to be held on Saturday. There will be a Viewing from 11:00 am to 11:45 am with the Funeral Service scheduled to begin at Noon. Both the Viewing and Funeral will be at the Murray North Stake Center at 5200 S. 7th West. Interment will be at the Salt Lake City Cemetery
Matt “Wiggles” Munk will be the Ride Captain.
Staging location: Horizon Elementary School, 5180 South Glendon St. (700 W.) just north of the church.
Staging time: 9:15 am to 10:15 am, KSU at 10:20 am. We will set the flag line at 10:30 am and stand the flag line until approximately 12:15.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of 1LT James W. Taylor Jr. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. Know
your loved one was and is a Hero to us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with
you always. He will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, James.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Morning
Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.
