Sarah Roberts of Knoxville, Tennessee, wrote; my heart is absolutely shattered. Taylor, you were someone i looked up to so much and aspired to be like. you pushed me to do more than what i thought i was capable of. you brought the name Jesus so much more meaning by showing how much you loved the Lord and bringing that to my life. not only were you a light to me and those around you, you were my passing partner at practice, my bed buddy in hotels, my bud buddy when traveling, you and i were stuck to each others hips during season and preseason. we came in together and accomplished so much together at Johnson. we attended weddings together, we were in a wedding together, and most of all you were my favorite TikTok dancer. you have brought a new meaning to what a smile can do to change someone’s day. you loved hard and prayed harder and i will never find another Taylor Neltner in my life. thank you for being you always and i can’t wait to see you again
