Jermaine Ivory Taylor

Jermaine Ivory Taylor, 37, is remembered as a man from Indianapolis whose life mattered to those who knew him. Public records and local reporting show he lived in Indianapolis and that his life ended on January 10, 2018. Though formal obituary notices locating family-written remembrances were not found in the public obituary indexes searched, contemporary local reporting and compiled homicide records identify him by name, age, and place.

Details about Jermaine’s early life, work, hobbies, and family were not available in the public notices and news coverage located. That limited public record does not lessen the fact that he was a person with relationships and a place in his community. For family and friends who grieve him, those private memories — the small everyday things, the ways he laughed or supported those close to him — are the truest record of who he was.

This page honors Jermaine by centering his identity beyond the manner of his death. If relatives or friends wish to provide more about his life — stories, photos, and remembrances — those contributions would help create a fuller, living tribute that reflects his personality and the bonds he shared. For now, we acknowledge Jermaine Ivory Taylor as a real person from Indianapolis whose life and loss were felt by people who cared about him.
