Taylor White

Taylor White Male:

Taylor White was a typical Juneau teenager when he died June 5 as a passenger in a drunk-driving accident only days after graduating from Juneau-Douglas High School, his mother said.

Taylor White was an outgoing teenager who cared deeply about his friends, his mother said. He liked to ski, fish, play video games and tinker around on cars.

"He was a pretty well-rounded kid but probably his most defining characteristic is he was extremely social," Carol White said. "His friends were really important to him. He was really good at being a friend." The loss has been difficult for some people to accept because Taylor was so charismatic and moved so gracefully through life, she said. "He listened. People felt heard, they felt cared about and loved when he was around," Carol White said. "He was also pretty stubborn and hard headed. He lived his life by his own terms and they were not necessarily the terms that we wanted him to."

Carol and Kevin White have established the Taylor White Foundation for Advancing our Community, Inc. in memory of their son.
