AJ's Legacy: A Gift of Life and Love

ANTHONY JOHN "AJ" TAYLOR, age 10, of Cleveland, Ohio, left this world unexpectedly due to complications of bacterial meningitis on Tuesday, December 3, 2024.

AJ was a vibrant, adventurous, and loving soul who brought light and joy to everyone he met. Even with his Autism, he embraced life with boundless energy and an insatiable curiosity about the world around him. A lover of exploration, AJ’s infectious smile and warm heart deeply touched his classmates and teachers at Westropp Elementary School, as well as neighbors and special friends in the community.

In his final act of selflessness, AJ became an organ donor, giving others the precious gift of life. His family takes solace in knowing AJ’s generosity and kind spirit will continue to make a difference in the world, leaving a legacy of hope and healing.

AJ, you were a beacon of light in our lives. Though we can no longer hold you in our arms, you will live on forever in our hearts. Rest peacefully, our sweet boy. We love you endlessly.

We are asking for monetary donations to be made to help offset funeral expenses, and also to make contributions to Autism Support Services. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
