Robert Taylor Andersen, 32, of Salt Lake City, passed away unexpectedly on March 2, 2025, from injuries sustained from a motorcycle accident. Born on October 20, 1992, in American Fork, Utah, to Robert Wade Andersen and Kami Theda Hobbs.

Taylor dedicated his life to service, both in the military and in his community.

Taylor proudly served in the Army from 2011 to 2019. His commitment to his country was unwavering, and he was a source of inspiration to all who knew him. He was a true patriot and prayed for a better America for all people.

Taylor's exceptional gift for numbers and his passion for being a realtor was a shining example of success and integrity in his business dealings. Consistently demonstrating a steadfast commitment to excellence, his honesty shone brightly, requiring no advertisement, as his clients sought him out through referrals due to his unwavering fairness. The power of word of mouth was all it took to spread the word about his outstanding character. As an entrepreneur, Taylor was always striving to better himself and his family, embodying the very essence of resilience and determination. He often acknowledged that he couldn't have achieved his goals without Monisa by his side. Monisa was his rock, his steadfast and the absolute love of his life. He admired her so much as his wife and the beautiful mother of their girls. Together, they formed a dynamic power couple who worked tirelessly to achieve their dreams, inspiring countless others along the way. He loved and respected his parents. He was grateful for their hard work to provide for him growing up, but the example of how important family is meant the most to him. Taylor cherished vacationing with his loved ones and making memories that would last a lifetime. He loved holidays and the opportunity to spend quality time with his family, radiating joy and warmth to all those around him. More than anything, Taylor and Monisa's girls were the absolute light of his life. Despite their young age, he had big plans for their future. Taylor reveled in spending time with his little girls, and it was common to see his tiny sidekick Emry accompanying him everywhere, a heartwarming reminder of the beauty of fatherhood. Little Ava would proudly declare, "that's my Daddy," He was the example of an amazing girl dad to both of them, consistently showing up with love, support, and devotion. Taylor's desire was to give them wisdom and provide opportunities for his girls to create a brighter future for themselves, to be an example of selflessness and generosity. He was wise beyond his years in many ways, offering a reminder that wisdom knows no age bounds. Taylor was blessed with lifelong friends whom he considered brothers, a testament to the enduring power of true friendship. The family would like to remember and honor Nick and Kaden, as well as his Wild Hog brothers Blake, Sam, Monte, and Trevor, celebrating the incredible impact of these relationships on his life. Taylor participated in numerous communities riding events, forging wonderful friendships along the way, and radiating a sense of community and connection. He loved the camaraderie. His passion for riding Harley's was a hobby he shared with his father, and it became a special part of his life. His infectious laugh and captivating smile will be deeply missed, leaving a void that can never be filled. Taylor's legacy will continue to inspire and uplift those who were fortunate enough to know him, a shining testament to the enduring power of his spirit. Taylor had faith in God, and he believed in prayer. We know he had a beautiful reunion with his Dad, and the many others who have gone before him. In the incredible heartbreak of losing Taylor, so young .. we have no doubt his father was there with him, and put his arm around his boy and took him home.

Taylor is survived by: the love of his life, wife Monisa R. Andersen, his pride and joy above anything else, daughters Emry G. Andersen and Avalyn J. Andersen.
