On the recordApril 20, 2016
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to remember the astounding life and legacy of Coach Dean Taylor, who recently passed away. Coach Taylor founded the football program at Sartell High School and built it into the powerhouse program it is today. From Sartell, he went on to become an assistant coach at St. John's University for eight seasons and then became head coach at St. Cloud Cathedral from 2009 to 2012. Coach Taylor's impressive football resume ultimately led to his induction into the Minnesota State Coaches Association Hall of Fame. However, it is not just the X's and O's of coaching that we will remember about Coach Taylor. Coach Taylor will also--and maybe even more importantly--be remembered for the incredible impact he made on the lives of all the student athletes he touched. Condolences to his wife, Kathy; his children, Steve and Kristi; as well as his many friends and loved ones. I thank you for sharing your husband and father with our community.
