Chip was the eldest of three children and was born in Borger, Texas on November 23rd, 1953. He was preceded in death by his parents Ann and Bill Taylor of Amarillo, Texas. Chip grew up in Pampa, Texas and graduated from Pampa High School where he was on the golf team, a passion that continued through the rest of his life.

In the late 1970s and 1980s, Chip and his father managed and operated a chain of clothing stores throughout West Texas. In the oil boom of the 1980s, he and his father started WTA Energy and had offices in Amarillo, and Pratt, Kansas. They later partnered with MAW, Inc. and drilled many successful wells in Western Kansas.

Chip later worked for New Mexico Natural Gas Company in Arlington, Texas and afterwards started Texnat Gas Company, where he was the owner and operator. During a hiatus from the oil and gas industry, Chip moved to Maui, Hawaii where his daughter, Kai’li, was born. While there, he was the Director at Grycner Gallery in Lahaina, Hawaii.

Six years ago, after retiring from the oil and gas industry, he pursued his passion for golf as a Marshall at Hawks Creek Golf Club and as a Clubhouse Attendant at Meadowbrook Park Golf Course. In addition to his love of art and golf, he enjoyed cooking, gardening, and was always the best dressed man in the room. Throughout his life, Chip was dedicated to his large circle of family and friends, where his keen sense of humor was greatly enjoyed.

He is survived by his daughter and son-in-law, Kai’li and Tom Millner; his sister, Kimberly Kelly and her son, Ty Kelly; his brother, Blair Taylor, and sister-in-law, Anne-Marie Taylor and their children Cheston Taylor, Bridgette Taylor West, and Travis Taylor; his uncle, Dr. James R.
