TAYLOR, Clyde

—

On Monday, February 4, 2019, Clyde Taylor passed away peacefully with his wife, Shelley (Yvonne) Taylor and his son, Michael Taylor, present and holding his hands at his bedside, at the age of 73 years. Clyde will be lovingly remembered by his wife Shelley (nee Tatoiu); daughter Michelle Feltham (nee Gillingham); son Michael Taylor; two grandchildren Aaron Feltham, Amy Feltham; sister Gloria Taylor; nephew Brad Taylor, niece Alyson Simms; and many other family members near and far.  He is predeceased by his infant son, his infant daughter, his father Frank Taylor, and his mother Mary Taylor.  Clyde was a loving husband, kind father and gentle caring man with a beautiful outlook on life.   He will be dearly missed by all of his family and friends and fellow Church members.

Clyde was born and raised in St John’s, Newfoundland where he grew his wonderful sense of humor and quick wit which all the family and friends enjoyed. In his early years, Clyde was a musician and a member of a Canadian rock band mostly playing in Western Canada.  Eventually, Clyde settled in Saskatchewan where he married Shelley to begin his family and church life of over 30 years in the Prairies. Once retired, Clyde and Shelley relocated to Kelowna, BC where he enjoyed his passion of nature photography, watching hockey, baseball with his son Michael, and dedicating much of his life towards his relationship with Christ. His favorite Bible verse being Philippians 4:6.

    We have known Clyde for a number of years through our Church. He was very dedicated and so helpful with his knowledge of audio/visual. He had a quick smile and was always willing to show us how to operate the equipment. He had a twinkle in his eye when he mentioned his son and his abilities with sound engineering. He also mentioned … more than once … and with subtilty … his wife’s accomplishments and her aspirations. He clearly was a family man. There is no doubt that we will miss him for all his skills, abilities and just being a really nice person.

Testimonials

They took care of me like family.

Judith Szabo

Everything was so organized and pertinent to what we needed. Everyone we met was kind, courteous and very helpful during our emotional and challenging time. Thank you so much.

Heather Mayne

They were so prompt on answering any questions and changing things. They were prepared and respected any religious decisions. The process was so seamless and made easy in such a high stress situation.

Tanya Kohar

In the past 2 years Springfield has helped us through the death of my Mother and my Father. Their response and help allowed us to focus on the remaining family rather than worrying about details of the funeral and all the notifications that are required upon a death.

Terry Eldridge

The atmosphere has been nothing but professional during times of grief.  After the passing of my mother, the staff coached me on the next steps and looked after filling in all the government forms that I needed to sign, which took a huge burden off my mind at the time.

Donald McClure

Everyone was so helpful and kind.  There was no pressure.  They provided exactly what we needed.

Diane Greenwood

From the time I called to the completion of all the services, I received compassionate, attentive and professional care.  There was a sense of caring from each staff member.  I was turning over my Mom to their care and I felt very comfortable with everyone.  I felt heard and never felt pushed into any decision.

Katherine Lewis

I have always found the team at Springfield Funeral Home to be VERY caring, kind, considerate and helpful.  I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone who asks which funeral home would I suggest they use.  No other funeral home I have dealt with even comes close to Springfield Funeral Home.

Ethna Tutt

Right at the onset, I was made very comfortable, there was no pressure.  I was made to feel as if I was the only one they had to serve.

Frances Baum

Everything that was arranged for us was perfect.  Our loved one, husband, father, brother was treated with respect.  Thank you for making this difficult time a little more acceptable via your staff’s obvious caring and respect.
