To the Burn family, thank you for sharing your son with us, we met in London a couple months after he got here in 2017 and we got on almost immediately through a shared love of art, design, youth culture and London. He took me under his wing and wanted me to be in the same spaces as himself, he was as chaotic as he was caring. His perspective as a designer was truly unique and he pushed me to want to be better. I wouldn’t be who I am today had we not met and he changed my life for better. There are a few stories I could share on how he impacted the trajectory of my life, I will miss him tremendously and send you my love.

Taylor was a creative genius and a huge inspiration to me always. His art, design, fashion and even music we started working on together will live on forever. This is really upsetting news...the last we spoke he seemed better. The world lost a legend, no debate.

Going harder for you from today. Love you bro.

May he find peace in this next stage. He was infinitely talented and it was evident in the brief times we shared together. It was amazing to see the plethora of physical embodiments that he brought to the world. My thoughts are with you all during this tough time.

Taylor, you were a rare combination - you had conviction, and you had the ability to act upon that conviction, time and time again.

In other words, you understood your talents, and you knew how to bring your ideas to life. Through your example, you encouraged many others to do the same, whether it be in design, fashion, art, or otherwise.

Thanks for inspiring us all.

Rest easy,
Ed

I first met Taylor in high school, and from the beginning I knew he was someone rare. He had a way of seeing the world that most people never do. I looked up to him not just because he was talented, but because he carried creativity like a light inside him.

He made me believe in what art could be. He made a lot of us believe in ourselves, too. Even now, the things he created and the way he moved through the world continue to shape the people who knew him. His absence is impossible to measure, but so is the impact he left behind.

I´m grateful I got to know him. I´ll always carry the things he taught me, about art, about honesty, and about the courage it takes to express yourself. I hope he knew how deeply he mattered, and how many lives he touched.

Rest in peace, my friend. We´ll miss you more than words can say.

Take care, my brother. You will always be one of the very few that remained a pure friend. So many cherished memories of our childhood. I´m sorry I wasn´t there enough for you as we got older and grew apart. You achieved so much and I am forever grateful I have had you as a mate.
