Creekside Sports Park Dedicates 24/7 AED SaveStation in Memory of Kyle J. Taylor

On March 8, a small group gathered at Creekside Turf Sports Park to dedicate the Automated External Defibrillator cabinet in honor of Kyle J. Taylor, who died in 2018 from an undiagnosed heart condition.

In the wake of the tragedy, his family established the Kyle J. Taylor Foundation, which aims to raise awareness of the risk for cardiac arrest among youth, boosts prevention efforts and provides free heart screenings.

The plaque at Creekside reads: “Kyle died of sudden cardiac arrest at the age of 18. This life saving AED and 24/7 saving station has been donated by his family foundation through the generous donations from the community where Kyle lived and played. He is missed by so many and will always be remembered.”
