We lost one of our own on January 28th, 2008. Ken “Savage” Taylor, husband, father, friend and four-wheeler, moved on to that great trail in the sky.

Please join us at C4x4 in helping his wife and daughter by donating to the Savage Memorial Fund HERE.

Name: Ken ‘Savage’ Taylor
Location: Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada

Ken's Website: Savage CJ

I am a member of the Edmonton based Northern Alberta 4wd Association (NA4wdA) and the Grande Prairie based True North Trail Runners (TNT).

I am 49 years old, (have been into four wheeling for 30 years now) Married with one 9 year old daughter. I had Cancer in 1986 at the age of 29, then had a reoccurrence of cancer in 2000, then a third battle with cancer which started in the fall of 2004 that I am still fighting.
Whatever doesn't kill me only makes me tougher! Remember, life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "WOW!!! WHAT A RIDE!"

At least that's the theory I am adhering to...
In His Service...
