Keith Allen Taylor

Keith Allen Taylor was born April 17, 1961, in Cincinnati, OH, to the late Arthur Taylor, Sr. and Maxine Adams Taylor. He departed this life on Thursday, February 19, 2026.

He was raised in Woodlawn, OH, and accepted Christ at an early age. After graduating from Princeton High School (Class of 1979), Keith enlisted in the U.S. Army, where he specialized in Tactical Telecommunications and Field Artillery Target Acquisition. He was stationed at Ft. Hood, TX, Heilbronn, Germany, Ft. Lewis, WA and Seoul, South Korea.

After returning from the military, Keith, his former wife, Novella Fullmore, and their son Wayne, moved to Cincinnati, where he joined the family business, TBT Janitorial, Inc. Keith served as Project Manager for multiple locations. He was dedicated to the family business for many years, moving to Greensboro, NC and then to Columbus, OH, to manage the company’s government contracts. Keith traveled to Norfolk, VA and Chicago, IL and anywhere else his Dad asked him to go providing his leadership and decision-making skills.

Keith was active prior to the pandemic. He loved playing softball and golf, and he was an avid bowler. He bowled on a team with his Dad, and after moving to Columbus, he joined the Columbus Monday Night Blues team that he traveled to tournaments with.

Once TBT was retired in the mid 2000’s, Keith joined the VA’s Chalmers P. Wiley Ambulatory Care Center in Columbus, OH. He worked as a Materials Handler on the dock until he medically retired. Keith received his medical care from the VA and was able to keep in touch with his former co-workers and veteran friends until his passing.

Keith was quiet, selfless to his loved ones and a very hard worker. He had a beautiful smile, a collection of Hot Wheel cars, guns and knives. He loved music and had some of the best cars a young dude could have in his lifetime. His quiet presence will be missed in our family. Affectionately known as Bruh Bruh at home,  we wish him well on his journey back home. May God continue to keep him under His Almighty Shadow until the Day of Christ Return.

See You on the Other Side Bruh Bruh!

Keith leaves to cherish his memory: his devoted mother Maxine Adams Taylor, one sister Teresa Taylor, one granddaughter Jataya Novella Grant, two nieces Latonia Denise Wright and Dr. Madison Taylor, a great nephew Lawrence “CJ” Britton, one uncle Floyd Adams Sr., and one aunt Lisa Williams (June), his devoted companion Olena Ukrainets, his loyal dog Gabriella Taylor and a host of cousins, relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his father, Arthur Taylor, Sr., his brother, Arthur Taylor, Jr. and his son Wayne Allan Grant.
