Hoyer Releases Statement On The Passing Of District Director Terrance Taylor

WASHINGTON – Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) released the following statement today regarding the passing of his District Director, Terrance Taylor:

“This morning, my dear friend, District Director, and trusted advisor, Terrance Taylor, passed away from sudden health complications. His loss is incalculable for his family, as well as for me and my team and the community he served so passionately and effectively. My prayers are with Terrance’s wife Candace, his son Simon, and his extended family. I grieve with them, as do so many others across our district, state, and country.

“Terrance was taken from us far too early, but he accomplished so much in the time he had. As a member of my district staff for more than two decades, Terrance was the human face of the federal government for so many in Maryland’s Fifth District. Whether it was seniors struggling to sort out a problem with their social security check, Veterans trying to access their benefits, or Marylanders working to rebuild a washed-out road, Terrance was the person folks turned to when they didn’t know who else to reach out to for help and support. The person on the other end of the line was patient, thoughtful, and deeply connected to communities across Maryland’s Fifth District.

“My team and I loved Terrance for his warmth and humor. We admired him for his intellect and leadership. We respected him for his character and commitment to service. And we will remember him for who he was: a great husband, father, brother, uncle, friend, and man. May God bless and keep Terrance Taylor.”
