Roy Dale Taylor, age 71, of Malvern passed away on March 13th, 2025 peacefully surrounded by his loved ones. He was born in Malvern, AR on June 14th,1953 to the late James and Mildred Taylor.

He worked many years in construction with the Clark family until his health forced him to retire. He loved his job and the many friends that he made. One of his greatest passions was making things go fast. It didn't matter if it was cars, motorcycles, four wheelers or even lawnmowers. He always had to be tinkering with something. His favorite cars were corvettes and he had many over the years. Most of all he was the best friend, father, papaw, uncle or brother that anyone could ever asked for. We've never heard anyone have a negative thing to say about him. He was a God fearing, loyal, and honest man. He will be greatly missed by all that knew him.
