In the summer of 2018, Christ in the Rockies was replicated and brought to the Smoky Mountains, appropriately called Christ in the Smokies. During Taylor’s short time on earth, he made a big impact on other’s lives because of the core values he held dear. Scholarships through the foundation are a way of continuing that impact with future generations of young men and their fathers.
