Elgin Taylor, Sr., 66, affectionately known as "Big E," entered peacefully into eternal rest on May 22, 2026 at Bon Secours St. Mary's Hospital in Richmond. VA.

He was born on October 15, 1959, in Camden, New Jersey, and graduated from Prince George High School. Elgin served in the United States Marine Corps and retired after more than 35 years with ICI. He attended First Baptist Church in Disputanta, Virginia.

Elgin enjoyed reading, watching Westerns, attending car shows, and working on cars. No job was too small or too big for him, and most of all, he loved rebuilding motors. He loved watching football and was an avid Washington Commanders fan.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his son, Corry Taylor; and his sisters, Ruby, Mildred, Earlene, Joan and Lois.

Elgin leaves to cherish his memories, his son, Elgin Taylor, Jr. (Whitney) and Dale Epps; brothers, James Taylor, Glen Harris and Butch Harris; grandchildren, K'mari Brown, Jayden and Trinity Taylor, Zaria Epps, Donté, Jocelyn and Iyanna Jones, Briana, Za'naya and Justin Allen and Makayla Taylor; devoted friend, Reverend Patricia Taylor; and a host nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives, friends, and his ICI family.
