About The Foundation

The Major Brent Taylor Foundation was launched on what would have been the 40th birthday of Major Brent Taylor, an officer in the Utah Army National Guard who was killed in action in Afghanistan in November of 2018 while on his fourth combat deployment.

Major Taylor’s memorial foundation seeks to carry forward the legacy he left behind, and is based on three key principles:

TRAINING service-oriented leaders from all walks of life.
HONORING military members, first responders, and their families.
ENGAGING community members in meaningful acts of service.

Key programs of the MBTF include:

  • Flag Missions, Parades, and Displays
  • The BT 5 Leadership Training Program
  • Leadership Legacy Scholarships at Brigham Young University, the University of Utah, Weber State University, Chandler High School (Arizona), and Weber High School (Utah)
  • The 9/11 Project
  • Gold Star Family Travel to Fort Benning’s Global War on Terrorism Memorial
  • The annual flight of “The Major” in North Ogden’s Coldwater Canyon
  • Veterans Week Annual Devotional and Field of Honor
  • Military-related Memorial Monuments
