He was born on May 12, 1972, to Eliott and Margaret in San Francisco, California.
He spent his youth years growing up in Geyserville and moved to Lakeport, California, in his teens.
He leaves behind his best friend and love, Rosie; sons, Nathaniel and step-son Luke; daughters, Julianna and Destiny: and our fur babies, Mamas and Hazel Grace.
He was blessed with a sister, Theresa Reynolds; nephew, Michael; brother, Brian; nephew, Shane (Courtney); sister, Tami Voris and niece, Kiley. OK, so that’s the Taffi side since I have eight siblings and 38 nephews and nieces and many other extended family and friends that I would love to list by name, just know that he loved all of you and we are truly blessed to have all of YOU. YOU know who you are and you know what’s up.
Kevin was a proud, quiet, honest, loyal, hardworking, passionate genuinely good man. He loved and lived for his family, old vehicles, fishing, disc golf, exploring new places looking for Bigfoot, of course and trying new things. He proudly provided for his family as a tile setter for 22 years, working for Tortorica Tile.
Thank you my love for a wonderful fun crazy life. The good, the bad and the ugly. Even if I knew then what I know now, and the end would still be the same, I would still choose us. I miss everything about you, I miss US! I know how much you loved us and nothing else matters. I love you Kevin Eliott Taffi, no regrets other than thinking we had more time.
I also would like to thank my family for respecting his wishes to respect his privacy, his sister for being strong for all of us and all of the beautiful angels at the Martin O’Neal cancer center, especially his doctors, Alaina Fields and Ethan Schram. God Bless us all and may his loving memory bring comfort and peace.
