Derrick Dean Bo Taylor, 56, was one of 59 people killed in the mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest country music festival in Las Vegas on October 1, 2017. A 29-year veteran of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Taylor was commander of the Ventura Conservation Camp in Camarillo, overseeing nine staff and more than 100 inmates who worked with Cal Fire on wildfire response.

The attack occurred during the closing set of Jason Aldean’s performance when 64-year-old Stephen Paddock opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel. Paddock acted alone and died by a self-inflicted wound as authorities closed in. The shooting wounded over 700 people by gunfire or in the ensuing chaos.

Taylor’s funeral was held October 13, 2017, at Arroyo Grande Cemetery.
