By Mike-Ross
We regret to inform everyone that Joel Taylor, of Discovery Channel’s show “Storm Chasers,” has passed away. He passed away Tuesday at 38-Years-Old.
News did not immediately come out about what caused his death but it has been speculated that is was not related to any storm, as reported by People.
Taylor studied meteorology at the University of Oklahoma then after that, he become a driver along with his friend, “Storm Chasers” co-star Reed Timmer and began to chase storms in Oklahoma’s Tornado Alley. Taylor was a star on the show “Storm Chasers” from 2008 until it was eventually canceled four years later in 2012. Storm Chasers was about a group of scientists that came up with the idea to “chase” tornadoes to gain information on the storm’s path and behavior, as reported by Fox News.
After his passing, Taylor’s friends and co-stars gave him tribute on social media:
“RIP my best friend and storm chasing partner, Joel Taylor. I am shocked and absolutely devastated by the loss of my incredible, caring friend,” Timmer wrote. “We chased so many intense storms, and I wish we could have just one more storm chase. I’ll miss you forever, Joel. We lost a legend.”
“The last intercept in the Dominator 2 on June 20, 2011 #RIPJoel”
“Here is video of one of Joel’s many tornado intercepts. Incredible natural instinct chasing tornadoes and reading the sky. No one better at dominating back roads behind the wheel.”
The team that Taylor was apart of came out to express their sadness and condolences.
“Our community of Elk City and the Storm Chasing community lost a great guy today. Joel Taylor was truly an inspiration to myself and many who knew him. He was one of the most level headed chasers on the roads and truly a classy guy outside of chasing,” Team Western OK Chaser shared on Facebook.
“He didn’t chase for the glory he chased because he had a true passion for storms. In the last few years he’d load up with his dad and go chase and not even take a camera,” the group said. “Our hearts are hurting for his mom Tracy and dad Jimmy along with his brother and sister and their children. Please know you are in our prayers. RIP Joel.”
This was a really amazing show.
We want to give our thoughts and prayers to Joel’s family and friends.
We want to say rest in peace brother.
