On October 11, family, friends, and her loyal dog Jager gathered in Franklin, Texas, to pay their respects and celebrate Taylor’s legacy.
The wonderful tribute to her life comes after the beloved TikTok star tragically passed away “suddenly and unexpectedly” just a week prior to her funeral.
At the time, Taylor’s husband – Cameron Grigg – shared an emotional message to her fans, writing: “No one ever expects to have to deal with this kind of pain and heartache, especially at our age.”
“She’s no longer in pain, but her body has been made whole in Jesus name,” Cameron added. “We can praise God that she will endure no more suffering and she is truly set free from these earthly chains! SHES BEEN MADE WHOLE AND PERFECT!”
Since her untimely death, Cameron also revealed that her “earthly body” was being sustained with machines in order to “keep her organs viable for donation”.

Taylor’s untimely death on October 4 at a Texas hospital was due to complications from asthma and Addison’s disease, as detailed by a family spokesperson to TODAY.com.
Per the Mayo Clinic, Addison’s disease (aka adrenal insufficiency) is an uncommon chronic condition that occurs when the adrenal glands to make too little cortisol and, often, too little of another hormone called aldosterone.
This can result in symptoms such as weakness, extreme fatigue, irritability and depression, weight loss, and pain in the joints, muscles and abdomen.
Additionally, asthma is a common but chronic lung condition that can cause a person’s airways to narrow and swell, making breathing difficult. It can become deadly if certain symptoms are not treated promptly and correctly.
Taylor’s obituary paints a picture of a woman with a radiant personality who deeply impacted those around her. “To know her was to love her,” the tribute reads, acknowledging her roles as a devoted wife, sister, daughter, aunt, and friend.
“Although her life was cut way too short, her legacy will be carried out through the special ones that have received her gift of life,” it reads.
Taylor had once shared her final wishes on TikTok, reflecting her thoughtful and spirited nature. She encouraged celebration over sorrow: “If I die young, please… ladies at my funeral, wear those outfits you’ve always wanted to wear but were afraid of what others would think. Dress up and show out!!”
Her message continued with personal notes to her family and a reminder of her faith: “I LOVED Jesus with all my heart!! And I’m in a better place, just please don’t forget about me…”
At this time, our thoughts continue to go out to Taylor’s family, friends, fans, and loved ones at this time.
