Alvin Sylvester Taylor Jr

In Loving Memory of
Alvin "Al" Taylor, Jr.
December 27, 1951 - October 22, 2026

Alvin "Al" Taylor, Jr., age 74, of Sapulpa, Oklahoma, took his final journey from this earth on October 22, 2026.
Al was a one-of-a-kind man who could make you laugh, shake your head, and sometimes do both at the same time. Known for his sarcastic wit, literal way of thinking, and dry sense of humor, Al had a personality that was unmistakably his own. He took pride in jokingly referring to himself as a "hemorrhoid," and if you knew Al, you probably understood exactly why he thought that was funny. He never needed to be the center of attention to leave an impression.
Beneath that sarcastic exterior was a man with an incredibly caring and loving heart. Al was the kind of person who would give you the shirt off his back without thinking twice. He loved his family deeply, and nothing meant more to him than spending time with his children and grandchildren. Whether fishing, watching television, or simply enjoying time with the people he loved, Al appreciated the simple things in life.
One of his greatest joys was being called Dad, Pa and G-Pa. His family was his world, and the memories made with them will forever be treasured.
Al is survived by his wife, Charlene (Scarbrough) Taylor; his daughters, Tiffany Taylor and husband, Bert Potter, Andrea (Taylor) Clark and his stepson, William "Bill" Clark and wife Amy; his adored fur babies, Saphire and Harley; beloved grandchildren, Trenton Taylor (FINALLY...a boy!!) and wife Teya Weaver, Tehgan Clark, Matthew, Owen, Warren and Dalton Clark, Dillon, Trey and Cade Potter, and Braelyn Bartley; and his great-grandchildren, the Taylor twins, Atarah and Aracelli and Sable Potter; sisters, Lorraine Burgess and partner, Darren Gillick and Phoenicia York, as well as, several nieces and nephews and many extended family members and friends (some of which he was blessed to have on this earth as life-long family friends, in the Hoovers). We will all miss him dearly.
Al was preceded in death by the mama of his girls, Barbara (Leffler) Taylor; his son-in-law, Eric Clark; his parents, Alvin Taylor, Sr. and Mary (Brown) Taylor; sisters, Rosie Wallace, Joyce Wallace, and Cathey Taylor; his brother, Eddie Taylor; step-granddaughter, Ava Clark and his beloved niece, Amy Denise Taylor.
Though Al's passing leaves a tremendous void, his family will forever carry his humor, his stories, his lessons, and the love he gave so freely. He may no longer be here to deliver one of his sarcastic remarks, but those who knew him will undoubtedly hear his voice in their memories and smile.
He was loved, he will be missed, and he will never be forgotten.
Rest easy, Al. Save us a spot and try not to give anybody too much trouble up there. You'll always be loved.
Memorial services will be announced at a future date.
Arrangements are in the care of Green Hill Funeral Home.
