Description
Ed Taylor ran Taylor Trucking School in Burlington for a decade. He was known for his big laugh and bigger heart.
Taylor, 60, died recently after suffering a heart attack while riding his motorcycle.
Over the years Taylor impacted countless lives, like that of former student Sunny Ceballos.
"He completely changed my life," she said, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I was working a part-time job at a gas station. Now I own my own trucking company. He always told me how proud he was of me, too. Not a lot of people say that."
Taylor was best known throughout the Skagit Valley for his work fighting hunger. Instead of training with an empty trailer, he'd have his students fill their trucks with food and deliver it to food banks. Taylor did this for the better part of a decade, hauling millions of pounds of food.
He never took any money or any credit.
"He was a very caring, compassionate person, but he didn't want you to think that," said former employee Melissa Pace. "If you told Ed he was a great guy he'd just say, 'yeah, yeah, yeah.'"
Taylor's loss is already being felt.
