Taylor Carrigan

Taylor was born December 7, 1928, in Sweetwater to Roy A. and Jincy A. Carrigan. He married Charlesa Glyn Bledsoe November 27, 1954 in Sweetwater.        After 42 years of employment with the BNSF Railroad in Seeetwater and in Saginaw, he retired in 1991 as an assistant train master.        Taylor proudly served in the U.S.Army and Army Reserves retiring as a colonel. During his active duty with the army, he was stationed at Ft. Benning, GA serving in Germany and Okinawa. At the end of the Viet Nam War, he was an area Commander at Ft. Chafffee, Arkansas, and was responsible for placing many refugees from Viet Nam in Homes throughout the U.S.        But, Taylor's most important job was being our hero. He was the foundation and rock of our family.        Daddy, you will be in our hearts forever and we will miss you immensely. We will never forget you.        The family thanks Dr. Soroush Behnam, the staff of Universal Healthcare Hospice and Keller Oaks Healthcare Center, but special thanks to Dr. Paul Kim at North Hills Hospital and staff for always encouraging Taylor to "keep marching".        Survivors: wife, Charlesa Carrigan of the home; son Ken Carrigan of Sweetwater; daughters, Dana Davis and husband Duke of Pasadena and Donna Fisher of Keller; grandchildren, Adam Womble and wife Lynn, of Keller, Taylor Fisher of Keller and Ty Davis of Pasadena; great-grandchildren, Kaylee Womble and Brodie Womble; nieces and nephews and extended family.        Lucas Funeral Home Keller, 817-753-6800 View and sign guestbook at www.star-telegram.com/obituaries To send flowers or a memorial gift to the family of Taylor Carrigan please visit our Sympathy Store.
