Killeen Fire Captain Laid to Rest
COPPERAS COVE, Texas (FOX 44) — A funeral was held Tuesday at 11 a.m. at the Holy Family Catholic Church in Copperas Cove for Killeen Fire Captain Marvin Taylor III.
Hundreds of people across the Central Texas community gathered at the church to say their final goodbyes to Captain Taylor.
A procession followed the service, led by the Killeen Fire Department, traveling from Holy Family Catholic Church through Killeen and ending at Our Lady of the Rosary Cemetery in Georgetown.
He served with the Killeen Fire Department for over a decade and was promoted to captain in the summer of 2024. Taylor was also recently assigned to the training division.
The Captain unfortunately lost his life on Sunday, May 11, 2025, in a car crash — he had just left the hospital after the birth of his fifth child.
The City of Killeen and the Fire Department are dedicated to keeping Captain Taylor's legacy alive.
