Kyree “Five” Taylor, cherished son, brother, and father, of Florence, South Carolina, passed away on September 15, 2025, at the age of 24. Born to Kizzy McDuffie and Kevin Taylor, Kyree’s life was marked by devotion and creativity from an early age.

Kyree was a devoted father whose greatest joy came from making memories with his four children: KaVari, Paisley, Nazyiah, and  Kaysen. Every moment spent with them was deeply treasured, and he profoundly shaped their lives with his warmth and guidance. He was a stand-up father, brother, and son known by many for his courage and unwavering presence for his kids and loved ones.

Creativity was at the heart of who Kyree was. He found fulfillment in drawing, fixing things, and working with his hands bringing life and character to  everything he touched. With a lighthearted spirit and  infectious sense of humor, he could brighten the days of those around him as a true jokester. His family meant the world to him, and his love for them was matched only by the joy he brought into their lives. Professionally, Kyree was proud to work at T-N-J All Systems Heating and Air, where his determination and skill were evident every day.
