RAE CHARLES ALEXANDER TAYLOR
Early life for Rae was spent surrounded by family and friends at Westhall and later Elgin, Manitoba. His dad moved the family to Elgin so that his sister Margaret could attend high school. Prior to that, the family farmed the land his grandfather had homesteaded in the Westhall district.
He is survived by his wife Sylvia Taylor, niece Shawna Lawson and husband Art, nephew Derek, his wife Kim and their three sons, Taylor, Quinn and Wade. He is also survived by his cousin Kelvern Pickering's son Charlie, his wife Cheryl and their children, Carissa and Caiden as well as his cousin Jeanie Pompana whom he called his "sister by choice", and his friend of 50 years, Grant Duncan.
Relatives and friends are encouraged to share in a detailed eulogy, stories and condolences for the family by visiting Rae's tribute page at EthicalDeathCare.com
His tombstone has a deck of cards on it. He could beat us all in cards and was famous for going out first, yet, for him in life the hand that he was dealt did not contain the best cards. He never complained and made the best of what he was dealt. He was a self-effacing soul who loved to help others. He will be remembered as a good man.
Cremation has taken place and according to Rae's instructions, no service will be held.

Rae was a kind and generous soul who was a cherished person in my life since I was a little girl. He was a good friend to my mother and father and a wonderful "uncle" to my children. We will miss all those games of Sequence but not so much Hearts, cause he always won! He will be sorely missed and always loved. Our heartfelt sympathies and love to you Sylvia.Rest in Peace dear Rae Debbie, Dexter, Cole and Olivia - Posted by: Debra Harker (Cousin) on: Aug 16, 2019
