Spotlight on Brodie & Abby Taylor.  Welcome to a new fun couple, Brodie and Abby, who moved into the Highlands. Brodie is a 4.0 student at Weber State who plays on the Wildcat’s football team as their punter.  He was raised in Springville, played football at Snow College, met his wife Abby at Institute, just took the MCAT, and is preparing to apply to medical schools. Abby was raised in northern California, played basketball in high school, served on the President’s Leadership Team at Snow College, served a mission in Ohio, worked as a For Strength of Youth (FSY) counselor, married Brodie in 2022, graduated from BYU in exercise science, and just landed a job at McKay-Dee hospital. Brodie says what he likes about Abby is that she’s, “funny, chill, beautiful, relaxed, is a good thinker, has a great smile, selfless, generous, thoughtful, and has Christ-like charity for everyone.” Abby says what she likes about Brodie is that he’s, “smart, patient, happy, positive, goofy, has amazing willpower, focuses on what’s important, is a man you can trust, and an all-around good guy…and, oh yeah, handsome.” We’re excited to welcome Brodie and Abby to the neighborhood!

Pat graduated from Weber State in business management and had a career in computer technology, retiring from IBM after 25 years with special recognition and appreciation. “Grandpa Pat, you will be missed but never forgotten. We are grateful that God gave you to us for the time that He did! For the time Providentially designed.” We will miss you, Pat, but are grateful for your neighborly kindnesses over the many years you and your family have lived in the Highlands. Our love and thoughts are with you, Denise.
