It is with great sadness that the Lewis & Clark Young Marines share the recent passing of former YM/Sgt Phillip Taylor. Phillip spent nine years with the organization, graduating as a senior in August 2020. Known for his joie de vivre and infectious smile, Phillip lit up every room he entered and was a joy to be around. His positive spirit and dedication left a lasting impact on all who knew him. Rest easy, Phillip. Until we meet again.
