Elgin
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Donald Timothy Taylor on Tuesday, October 20th, 2026, in Elgin, IL. A beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend, Donald was cherished by all who knew him.
Donald is survived by his devoted wife, Ronda R. (nee Chin); his loving children, Michelle (Tracy) Ferguson and James (Arisleyda) Taylor; seven adoring grandchildren; and five precious great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his siblings, Gloria (the late Jim) Stewart, Richard (the late Venetta) Taylor, and David (the late Debbie) Taylor, as well as being an uncle to many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Lloyd and Hazel Taylor; his sons, William "Billy" Taylor and Douglas Taylor; and his siblings, Beverly (the late Zeke) Short and Daniel Taylor.
Donald dedicated 41 years of his career to Jewel, where his hard work and warm personality left a lasting impression on colleagues and customers alike. In his personal life, he was a passionate member of the Arlington Anglers Fishing Club and was known for his outstanding skills in wood crafting. His love for a friendly game of poker at the Hanover Township Senior Center brought joy and camaraderie into his retirement years.
