David Ray "Smokey" Taylor - October 28, 1936 - November 02, 2023

Departed: 11/02/2023 (Warren)

Obituary Preview: David Ray “Smokey” Taylor, 86, passed away Thursday, November 2, 2023, at Rose Lane Nursing Home in Massillon, Ohio, with his son and daughter-in-law by his side.

Smokey was born October 28, 1936, in Masontown, WV to the late Charles and Agatha (Spurgeon) Taylor. He left school after the 8th grade to become a mechanic, and his love of cars stayed with him his entire life. When he was just 15, he went to the BMV in Preston County and claimed to be a year older, just to get his driver’s license early. He was drafted into the Army in 1960 and spent time in Germany doing what he loved most – working on vehicles. After his time in the Army, he moved to Bazetta, Ohio to be with his family, and began working at General Motors in Lordstown. His son David “JR” was born in 1979 and made Smokey a dad – the most important job he ever had. Every year, he would ask JR to pick a place on the map, and they would take a two-week vacation to travel, eventually visiting 47 states together. In Smokey’s own words, “Not too bad for a hillbilly that never finished school!” He was able to retire from GM in 1994 and found he could dedicate even more time to tinkering in his garage.

Smokey also shared his love of cars with his extended family. He taught quite a few of them how to drive, fixed their cars when needed, and shared advice on what vehicle to buy. He was a generous man, always willing to help those he loved. He will be remembered for his love of driving too fast, spending his weekends driving to West Virginia to visit family and friends, good country music, and spending time outdoors.

Smokey is survived by his son and daughter in law, David “JR” and Anne Taylor, grandson Mason Taylor, two nephews: Steve (Nancy) Metheny and Chuck (Robyn) Metheny, several great nieces and nephews, including Smiley, Snicklefritz, Monster, and Bright Eyes, and a host of extended and chosen family throughout Ohio and West Virginia. He will also be sorely missed by his grandpup, JR’s golden retriever Lil’ Willie Nelson, who always put a smile on his face.

Besides his parents, Smokey was preceded in death by his best friend and sister, Nellie “Sis” (Wesley) Metheny, nieces Cheryl Fitzpatrick and Connie Armintrout, and best friend and brother Harry “Bud” (Liz) Sisler.

Smokey would always say he wasn’t “one for dressing up”. As such, friends may dress casually and call from 5 to 7 pm on November 8, 2023, at Lane Funeral Home, Roberts-Clark Chapel, 180 Garfield Dr NE in Warren. Funeral service with military honors to follow immediately after calling hours. Interment will be in Hillside Cemetery at a later date.

That same night he was taken to the ER and admitted with sepsis infection and internal bleeding. He was diagnosed three years ago with MDS and dealt with weekly blood transfusions. The nurses in the infusion lab at Trumbull were angels. They took such good care of him, even having a 90th and a 91st birthday party! Two weeks ago, the MDS had progressed to leukemia, and he immediately became much worse. And on the fourth day, at 9:58 am, he had finished his course. John was born on September 20,1932 in Warren, OH, the first child of Owen Henry and Mary Jones Griffith. He would later be joined by a brother George and sister Geraldine (Gerry). He was active in high school sports and, as a senior, set a scoring record of 38 points in basketball at Howland High School. That was before they had 3-point shots. After graduation in 1950, he received a basketball scholarship to Marshall College in Huntington, WV. In 1952 he was drafted into the Army and served in the Army Engineering Corps for two years in Korea. He was involved in building the facility at Panmunjom where the prisoners were exchanged, and the truce was signed. He returned home and went back to work at Packard Electric, where they worked with him on working hours to accommodate his college classes at Youngstown College. In the meantime, on a blind date, he met Janice Alfred. On August 15, 1956, they were married in McKinley Community Church in Warren. They were blessed with two children, David Leigh, and Susan Elaine. John graduated in 1962 from Youngstown College with a Bachelor of Science Degree and started teaching at Leavittsburg High School that fall. He also coached basketball. He went to Westminster College during this time and received his Master of Education degree in 1967. He also served as principal at Southington High School and Bristol High School. He finished his career at the Ohio Department of Transportation and, after retiring, took college classes to earn his Doctor of Christian Ministry Degree in 1999. He then spent 19 years as pastor of McKinley Community Church, where he had attended since he was 2 years old. He spent many years as trustee and chairman of the board of the church. For many years taught Bible Study and he and his wife had charge of the Youth Group where they did many adventures of camping, etc. He and his wife worked together in the church for their entire married life. The last few years he peeled apples and packaged the pies for the Ladies Aid. He also was a longtime member of the Cortland Masonic Lodge. The family enjoyed many years of camping together, beginning with a tent and ending with a large motor home. Their favorite vacation spot was East Harbor State Park where all the kids liked to go to Cedar Point. They also enjoyed several years of sailing at Atwood Lake in a 27-foot Watkins sailboat.
