BUT I TOTAL UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING HE SAID. SORRY FOR THE CAPS
This part of the article is particularly relevant:
"No disrespect to Taylor, but he controlled the way he would be remembered by the way he lived. His immature, undisciplined behavior with his employer, his run-ins with law enforcement, which included allegedly threatening a man with a loaded gun, and the fact a vehicle he owned was once sprayed with bullets are all pertinent details when you've been murdered."
Add to this the fact that those who are now accused of murdering him are evidently acquaintances of his, some of them having been recently in attendance at a social occasion at his home. Taylor apparently was still associating with criminal types at or near the time of his death. That kind of associating ain't good for your health. Some have reported that he was trying to shed his old shady acquaintances, but it seems he had not entirely succeeded at that.

It's a **** shame. The man had the opportunity to be such a positive influence, and in the end, I can't help but think that he is at least partially responsible for the situation he put himself in.
