When they arrived they found Deputy Taylor had been shot once in the head. Deputy Taylor was transported to the hospital where he died the next day from his wounds. The suspect was on parole for a previous robbery conviction and had violated the terms of that parole. Deputy Taylor had served with the Llano County Sheriff's Office for 3 years.

Andy,
You were always like a brother to me and you will be missed deeply. I have not stopped wondering why the last few years we haven't talked as much, but we both went our own ways and did other things. I will always miss you, and will always remember you.

The easiest way for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing....Edmund Burke. There are people who think that we do the job to be heroes, or for personal gain. They could never understand that it is about the person next to you.

It is abundantly clear that ALL of your fallen officers shared a common thread - they were of the highest caliber yet modest and unassuming in the approach of their duties. I believe that for as long as such
men and women patrol your streets with such commitment and professionalism, then you have much to be proud of. My heart goes out to all the bereaved families, but be assured, there is someone in "every" corner of the world who cares!
