My deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences go out to Steven’s family, loved ones, and friends.  Steven’s life was cut short.  There are life’s milestones and experiences that he will never experience.  As a fellow father of three, I can only imagine the loss and grief.  As we come together in our shared humanity, we are saddened and hurt.

The death of Steven Taylor is tragic and something no one wanted.  And I support the implementation of policies that help prevent similar incidents in the future.
