Taylor Marie Dalian

Taylor Dalian Age 21, September 21, 2017. Taylor graced us all with her magical spirit from March 14th, 1996 to September 21st, 2017 when her twenty-one year journey in this world ended and she moved on to her next adventure. Among those mourning the loss of her in their lives are her parents, Sandi Brzezinski and Craig Dalian; Stepfather James Brzezinski; Brother Jordan Dalian; Step-sisters Jessica Brzezinski (Ronnie Grabial), Samantha Brzezinski, Step-Brother Jimmy Jr. Brzezinski (Ryane Stark) Grandparents Jacqueline Heppner, Penny & James Dalian; Aunts and Uncles, Michelle and Robert Jolly, Russ and Patti Carlson, Kimberly and Daniel Burke, Robin and Joe Roos, John & Ilene Heppner, Cindi and Dennis Myers, Kent and Aura Dalian; Cousins: Heather & Matt, Patrick, Sarah, Lindsay & Kevin, Catie & Luke, Alex, Nicholas & Jackie, Danielle, Stephanie & Kirk, Amanda & Sean, Jonathan & Dakota, Kyle, Eric, Alexandra, Shane, Brandon, Melissa, Christian, many great-nieces and nephews and countless friends. She was a student at Central Michigan University where she was set to graduate in December with a degree in Therapeutic Recreation. Her goal was to work with the elderly and ease their pain and suffering. She cherished her precious relationship with her Nana, Grammy and Papa. Taylor spent her short time here making a big difference in the lives of animals and anybody who needed assistance - Abby, a Pit Bull mix she adopted and saved from euthanasia; Angel, her Pomeranian that was also rescued from a shelter; a guinea pig she picked up from a garage sale; an unwanted hedgehog, a snail she found on a leaf of lettuce at the grocery store when she was 7 years old and several hermit crabs who she re-shelled throughout the years so they could live more comfortably. She had an endless love of pigs which was to be her next pet after graduation. Taylor was best known and will forever be remembered for her contagious smile and laugh. On the CMU campus, she put everybody she came into contact with in a positive mood. This was her gift and she shared it freely. She truly was the light in the darkness. Often times the light that burns brightest burns out quickly. She was the brightest of lights. Taylor made the decision to register with the Gift of Life as an organ donor, and has given herself selflessly to help others continue their journey here on Earth through the Gift of Life.

She will forever be in our hearts. We are sure those in heaven already know how special she is. Rest assured she’s brightening up the place with her smile.
