Jeremy Charles Taylor, 54, was fatally shot on June 5, 2016 while riding his motorcycle on Skyline Boulevard in Cape Coral, Florida. A longtime Cape Coral resident originally from Birmingham, England, he had lived in the city for more than 14 years and worked as a shop foreman at Synergy Boatlifts. He was active in the Southwest Florida British Car Club and the British American Club, serving as club president for several years.

The shooter, identified as 31-year-old Christopher Michael Moran, used a shotgun in the attack. Moran then drove to a nearby Circle K on Cape Coral Parkway, where he shot and killed 26-year-old store clerk Sean Strickland and wounded a customer, Richard Huwiler, who survived. Police located Moran’s vehicle at Skyline and Cape Coral Parkway; after a brief confrontation officers shot and killed Moran. The State Attorney’s Office later announced the officers’ use of deadly force was legally justified.

Jeremy’s family in the United Kingdom and his many friends remembered him for his laugh, uplifting spirit and dedication to helping others. Does anyone have memories of Jeremy or information about his life in Cape Coral to share?
