Tribute paid to Taylor Alsop

Police have named a teenager who died following a collision in Monks Kirby.

Taylor Alsop, aged 19 and from Coventry, passed away following the collision on 26 October.

His family has paid the following tribute to him:

“Taylor had his life tragically cut short on the 26 October 2021 in a traffic accident. He was a brave young man who fought for his life.

“Taylor worked as a barman at Murphy’s bar, which he loved as it suited his outgoing fun personality. It also gave him the opportunity to pursue his passion for golf where he was working towards his dream of becoming a professional. He also loved swimming and going to the gym.

“Taylor was a loving caring person who always put his family first. After his gramps passed away 18 months ago he would go every day to keep his nan company and make sure she was ok.

“Taylor has left an empty hole in his mum’s, dad’s, step dad’s, sister’s and girlfriend’s lives and is missed so much.

“Taylor was loved by so many people and this has been reflected in the hundreds of messages we have received as a family, and we would like to say thank you for them.

“Taylor’s funeral will be held at Canley Crematorium on 22 of November at 2.15pm and afterwards at Murphys Bar in Leamington Spa.”
