The 26-year old hairstylist is being remembered for her loving spirit and kind nature.

St. Peter and Paul Catholic Church on South Halsted was awash with pink as a tribute to Taylor Walker.

Pink was the favorite color of the young Chicago woman who perished when a gunman opened fire. Three others also died.

Friends mentioned she attended the album release event for her close friend, Chicago rapper Mello Buckzz, at Artis Restaurant and Lounge located on West Chicago Avenue.

Relatives said she is the second child her mother has lost to gun violence.

“First of all, she was beautiful,” expressed Stacy Brinson, Taylor Walker’s aunt. “She was intelligent, smart, funny, you know, a big sister, and a backbone to her mother.”

“Taylor was a cherished individual, very outgoing, highly ambitious, and well-liked,” said Lisa Betts-Diggs, Taylor Walker’s former elementary school teacher. “This is a particularly sad day for everyone, especially for the city of Chicago. The violence simply must come to an end.”

Mello Buckzz made a statement about her friends’ passing, saying in a social media post that her heart is heavy for those lost, those wounded and those whose spirit has been broken.
