My son, Ryan, informed me of Taurean's death as my son was serving in Afghanistan with him. My son, Ryan, is a Navy EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) and Taureen helped protect our servicemen while they were out on missions. Taurean and Ryan were also in the same tent, played cards together at night and Taurean even cut my son's hair one day. Thank you for the gifts and talents Taurean shared with others. I am glad he was a friend to my son. Thankfully, my son returned to the states safely at the end of June. His heart is breaking knowing Taureen's life was not spared. May God bless Taurean for bravely following his convictions and serving our country well!

Bush has truly lost what I believe was his best soldier!!! Taurean I remember when we first met. It was a peewee baseball game at the old community center in Gloster; you were number "8" and I can remember that because you were the only one on the team that gave the game their all. You were a true soldier back then and you are still one now. Though we were sad that you had to go I can imagine how anxious God was that you were finally on your way home...he was probably more excited than anxious...but I can honestly say that of all men I knew under 30 you were the most mature and the most giving. We will miss you but it wont be for long because God seems to be calling all good soldiers home!!! love always Renicia Sharhonda and Reondra

Taurean, I wasn't ready to close that chapter in my life. The chapter that began and ended with you. It was only for a short time but that time was special to me. When I recieve the phone call about you, my heart sank. I was in denial. This has to be a dream. It seems like it was yesterday when I started teasing your broters by calling them my lil brother-in-laws. Me and Will still joke around with it. That became his new name to me. He knew what the chapter was all about. It wasn't very many that did but what was important was that we knew it. I'm sitting here remembering that Alisha Keys song "You don't know my name" with tears in my eyes because that song is what made it all happen. But this is my promise to you. That song will never end. It is what will make our chapter continue. My tears will never dry. But I know you will be fine now that you are at home. I just pray that God closed yours eyes and put your sul at rest before the tragedy took place. So continue to smile down on those who will hold your memories close. Everytime I see the sun shining or a star twinkling, I will know thats you smiling telling us that everything is alright now. But just remember, when your mom has her head down because she is missing her son, pick it up and wipe her eyes. When your daughter goes through life having heartaches and pains, kiss her on the chick and tell her that it will get better. Help your brothers understand that you are not too far away from them. And when I begin to feel like I'm on the last page of the chapter, turn the song on in my ear and let me know that another page is on the way. I will always miss you.
