Memorial for Taylor Thomas to take place Friday

A Celebration of Life in honor of Taylor Michael Thomas, the Parker teen who was fatally wounded in a collision with a car while riding a scooter last week, is scheduled for Friday.

The memorial will take place at Pop Harvey Park, named after Taylor’s great-grandfather Pop Harvey, who was instrumental in starting the Red Cross Swim Program in Parker and taught many children how to swim.

An after-school celebration will begin with snacks from 2 o’clock, with services at 5:30 p.m. and a pot luck dinner to follow.
