The late Xavier Eugene Taylor was from Palmdale. His family and community are reeling from the news of his untimely death, which occurred in an act of violence on June 26, 2024. Xavier, affectionately known as Zae to many, was a beloved figure, cherished for his caring and loving nature.
Due to the unexpected nature of his passing, Xavier’s family does not have life insurance to cover his funeral expenses. Mia Colbert, a family member, has organized a fundraiser to support the costs of his burial and to help care for the children he left behind. The goal is to raise $15,000, but so far, only $130 has been collected from three donations.
"This has been an indescribable experience," Mia wrote on the fundraiser page. "The loss of someone we all held so dearly in our hearts has left us broken in ways we will never be able to explain." She emphasized that Xavier was not involved in the violence that led to his death and wants him to be remembered for his kindness and love.
Mia has appealed to the community for support, asking for donations, prayers, and shares to ensure Xavier has a proper burial and his children are cared for. "If you feel it in your hearts, please donate," Mia urged. "A prayer and a share would mean a lot as well. Be blessed. Thank you."
