Henry completed his education in New York City. He has successfully obtained an Associates Degree in Mechanical Engineering. He decided to transfer to HSBC Banking.

As a child, Henry always enjoyed playing sports. Football, Baseball, Handball as well as Jogging. These were only a few of his many choice outdoor activities. As a pass time, he would watch sports on the weekend and conversing with two of his siblings was an exciting part of his day. Henry also had an endless love for music. He would listen to music each weekend while running errands. As well as, Henry and I would dance together for hours. After 40 years of marriage, he still choose me as his dance partner. “I love him deeply”.

Marilyn Brown says
I remember when Trina and Henry “Shaliek,” started dating as teenagers. They spent so much time together going to music concerts , restaurants, and parks. I would smile when I would see them wearing matching blue jeans outfits.
Shaliek has always been a family man. He adored his wife, my sister, Trina and their children, grandchildren, parents and siblings.
He would come over to my parent’s home and enjoy meals, laugh and play spades and other games.
I told Shaliek last year how proud I was of him and his accomplishments. I was grateful for his commitment to honor his vows and remain a great husband to Trina and awesome father and grandfather.
I’m glad I didn’t allow the opportunity to pass by without expressing how much I love and appreciated him. Tomorrow is not promised to us.
Shaliek, You will truly be missed and loved my brother. We will enjoy fellowshiping again in the future.
Trina Taylor says
Thank you Marilyn 😊💓☺

CALVIN GIBBS says
I’ve known Shaliek for close to 50 years now. We grew up playing footbal, handball & boxing in the nearby parks in Brooklyn, NY. We spent hours talking and sharing ideas. He was always a practical guy. He was thoughtful and kind. Shaliek was the kind of guy that would go out of his way to help you if he was needed. He was brought up in a tight knit family and he continued that with his owm awesome family. I remember when he and Trina started dating as teenagers. They were a cute couple but I never guessed that would turn into 40 years of wedded bliss. What an accomplishment! What a show of love between a man and a woman! A King and his Queen to whom I offer my thanks of showing what true love looks like!
Shaliek and I lost contact over the years but virtually reconnected in 2018. We physically reconnected in 2019 and we vowed never to lose contact again. It was great to catch up and have those secret conversations between two men, who are now over 60 years old and share the wisdom. Thank you for all that my Brother! I will never forget you and I want to let you know that I consider you among the phoenominal Black men that I have had the honor of knowing in this journey called life. You are my Brother and although I can not talk to you in the physical again, you will remain in my heart…we are always family. The pain of your loss is still fresh and I am welling up with tears even as I type this to you so I will end this now. I’ve told Trina that whatever she needs, she can depend on me to do whatever I can. I learned that from you, my Brother.
Sleep in Eternal Rest, Shaliek. Thanks for the memories. I say, “Peace”.
Trina Taylor says
Thank you 😊

Don Taylor says
My brother Henry, growing up I did not know what a real family looks like (mother and father) until you and Trina decided to move to Miami, from that time to now ( New York) I watch you , you became my mentor on how to be a father to my children, for this I’m grateful, because of you, my children are grateful. You and Trina rise wonderful children together. Thank you for the conversations when I was feeling sad you always lift my spirit up before our conversation ends.
Trina, my sister – in – law and the entire New York family stay strong, I love you all

Trina Taylor says

Michael Rogers says
Please accept our kind condolences in the lost of our dear friend Henry. He is what we call a true gentleman in every aspect of life. We will miss him. Mrs Taylor please take to heart the PROMISE mentioned in the Bible at John 5:28,29 which says, “ Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.” And also Revelation 21:4 “ And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” The Bible promises a resurrection whereby our dear friend Henry will be brought back to life in a paradise earth! Why would God lie about that! I believe Henry knew about this wonderful hope years ago and maybe it can be yours! Again please accept our condolences. Michael and Robin Rogers
Trina Taylor says
Thank you 😊

My earliest memories of Uncle Shaliek were when he would give me haircuts. I remember him blasting “Always and Forever” a lot on the weekends when I visited my cousins to play videogames. After many years, I saw him again back in 2017. My heart goes out to mu Aunt Trina and my cousins. I love you all very much.
Although I was just a kid then, as an adult, I realize how he played a role with being a father figure to me as my uncle. Family is powerful. My sincerest condolences to you all.
Trina D Taylor says
Thank you nephew 💙❤🙏. I know he’s smiling.
David & Evelyn Gonzalez says
Our friendship started on a conversation about our childhood , so it happens that when Henry moved onto the scene @ Ryerson st Fort Green Brooklyn I had just moved to P.R. I was 10 so I take it Henry was about 12, so Henry knew and hung out with all the friends I had left behind.
Ever since that conversation me were like old time buddies , I respected and cared about Henry because he earned it ,I will miss him dearly. Trina and family , please accept our deepest condolences.
Trina Taylor says
Thank you David and Evelyn. Stay well 🙏✨☺
Joylette Hairston-West says
My deepest condolences go out to Trina Taylor and the Taylor Family. Little did I know that in December 2019, while we attended your closing on your new home, that that would be the first time I had seen Henry in person in almost 37 years and the last time that I would ever see him again. I met Henry and Trina when I was an innocent 14 year old girl dating his crazy brother Jerome. I was in awe with their love for each other and their love for their family. Trina was so sweet, kind and soft spoken and Henry was so nice and so strong. Black love at its finest moments through thick and thin through the good times and the bad. Me and Jerome didn’t survive as a couple, but to see Trina and Henry 40 years later…still together…thriving with their wonderful children and grandchildren made me smile. At the closing in 2019, Henry looked at me with tears in his eyes and said that he was proud of me…a lawyer…and I told him that I was proud of him and all of his accomplishments. Then I had to focus again on the closing because I was about to get teary eyed. Then, almost one year later…I got the text from Trina about Henry’s sudden passing. I am still shocked. Now my tears are for a different reason. Henry…a King in his own right….may he rest in peace. My prayers go out to Trina and the Taylor Family during this difficult time. If you need me, just call…this, I pray, you already know. ❤
Trina Taylor says
Thank you Joylette. You will always be dear to both of our hearts 💕💞♥
John and Tonya Brown says
My wife Tonya and I traveled to New York in June 2019 for her birthday. We decided to surprise Trina, and Shaliek helped us pull off the surprise by lying to his wife about who was coming to the house! Her reaction was priceless, but seeing Shaliek was just as special. We embraced each other and talked like several years had not passed us by. We made plans to go fishing when he and Trina would visit us in North Carolina, and it saddens me that we won’t get that chance.
Trina, you are in our hearts, thoughts and prayers today. We would give anything to be with you today, and we hope that you know how much you are truly loved.
Trina Taylor says
Thank you to my wonderful brother and his beautiful wife ❤.
