A Hardin County family is going through tragedy again. First they lost a daughter, now a son.The coroner's office said Brice Taylor died Saturday morning from a traumatic brain injury.Mobile videoIt's part of an unthinkable tragedy that first claimed the life of his sister, Brianna Taylor, but it also united many in Hardin County to support the Taylor family through faith."This is not anything you dream of or ever imagine could happen," said the Rev. Scott Kerr with Valley Creek Baptist Church. "When you think about it being Brice and Brianna, they were such great young adults. They were getting to the age of so much before them. They were so wonderful and we're struck by that. How could it happen to them?"That's the question those who knew and loved Brianna and Brice Taylor are still asking.One week after 17-year-old Brianna Taylor was killed in a traffic crash that police said was caused by an intoxicated driver, her 20-year-old brother, Brice, was critically injured in an ATV accident.Police said Brice Taylor was riding his four-wheeler on Springfield Road in Elizabethtown around 12:30 a.m. Monday when he hit a deer.He was thrown off and the ATV overturned in a ditch.Friends said he was on his way home from a small get-together for his sister.He had been fighting for his life ever since."There in the wee hours there was hope that it wouldn't be that bad. But as the week progressed, there came the news that the brain damage was greater than we first feared. And as the week progressed our hearts just ached for this family. If it wasn't for our faith, we probably wouldn't have made it through the week," said Kerr.Kerr said it's that faith they lean on even more now since Brice Taylor's passing.He said Brice and Brianna Taylor grew up attending the church and were very active in the community."They were fun to be around. They loved life. They were positive. I think everyone they met, was touched in a positive way and they were encouraged. That's the kind of people they were," said Kerr.And now they continue to touch and even possibly save lives.Kerr said the family has already matched and donated three of Brice Taylor's organs.His heart and lungs are currently being matched as well."What we cling to is our faith. God says in all things He can work for the good. That's what we're looking at now. The family is looking at how, in this great tragedy, can good come," said Kerr. "Even now, there will be lives saved, so they're clinging to what good God can bring from this."Kerr said the family continues to need prayers and have asked for prayers for Mickayla Harig, who was riding with Brianna Taylor during the June 22 crash. She continues to fight for her life.
