Taylor Grace Nieri March 26, 1995 - July 16, 2017

Taylor Grace Nieri has accepted an offer she couldn't refuse. Her invitation included a trip to climb the highest and grandest mountains. In exchange; offered her infinite, eternal views of those who weren't ready to make the trip quite yet. Those she loved most in this world, her family and friends.

She is survived by those responsible for her glistening blue eyes, her parents, Bob and Tammi Nieri; her older brother Dominic (27), who encouraged her tenacious drive to not conform; her older sister Tianna (23), who was her first best friend and number-one fan; her baby brother Kamron (9), who she inspired to live wild.

Amongst her family, Taylor would also leave behind her beloved husband, eternal soulmate and lifelong adventure partner James Thorp.

Her grandparents: Connie Nieri, John Ries, Stephanie Alba and Jim Garrison; her aunts, uncles, and cousins - she cherished her time spent with each of them.

Her in-laws: David & Rosie Thorp; Ben David Thorp (40); Amanda Jo Thorp (38); Megan Joy Thorp (34); her adopted family: Troy and Veronica Hewkins; Scarlett (8); and Delilah all of Australia.

She will be offered chances to kayak the most beautiful rivers and she will be able to pass by all of the many lives she has touched in her short but full 22 years of life. She will continue to bring light and radiate joy even if it is without the pleasure of seeing her physical smile.

Taylor, most widely known for her eccentric wardrobe choice, bright blue eyes, competitive spirit that turned to a wandering soul has left her journey here in wild pursuit of another. Those who could not join her just yet wait anxiously to be with her again. Wherever she is, wherever the wind took her, we are confident she is barefoot and smiling with the ever-so-famous "beer hat" in hand.

Climb high our sweet, beautiful gypsy soul, stay wild.

We ask you Tay, that for many of us who will spend our days missing you, join us under the full moon and continue to bring us light in a sometimes dark world. We'd say "Rest Easy," but we know the truth. Adventure in peace our beautiful daughter, sister, wife, granddaughter and FRIEND.

In honor of Taylor Grace Nieri, please join us in her Celebration of Life to be held on Sunday, August 6. The service will take place at 2 p.m. at Sisters High School. Immediately following the service, there will be a time for socializing, with refreshments served. In addition, there will be an intimate gathering at The Belfry soon after for our immediate family, extended family, and friends.
