DIXFIELD – Christopher L. Taylor, 61, died Friday Feb. 18, 2022 at the Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston. He was a resident of Taylor Road in Dixfield.

Born in Memphis, Tenn. on Sept. 5, 1960, he was a son of Robert “Doc” and Donna (Chase) Taylor.

Christopher was a 1979 graduate of Dirigo High School in Dixfield. After graduation Chris traveled the country working for many construction companies as an iron worker, where he quickly was given the name “Fast Ed”. After an early retirement due to becoming disabled, Chris managed to do some home welding projects. He also found great joy in outside yard projects, gardening and sitting out on the river bank by his fire with family and friends watching the ducks and eagles during the day and the sun setting in the evening.

Christopher is survived by a son, Nicholas Taylor of Dixfield; his mother, Donna Taylor of Dixfield; two sisters, Darlene Whitaker and Laurie Taylor of Dixfield, two brothers, Scott and Corey Taylor of Peru; grandchildren Rylee, Charlee and Sophia of Kentucky and Ohio; his longtime girlfriend, Debbie Storer of Dixfield; and many nieces and nephews.
