Taylor Sharp Stubbs, Jr., age 79, of Chesapeake City, MD, passed away peacefully on Sunday, February 15, 2026. He was born on September 13, 1946, in Elkton, MD, to the late Taylor Sharp Stubbs, Sr. and Wilda Adeline (McCauley) Stubbs.
Taylor found his greatest peace outdoors. An avid fisherman, he enjoyed casting a line in local waters and heading out on charter boats whenever he had the chance. Whether it was a quiet morning by the shore or a full day offshore, fishing was more than a hobby — it was where he felt most at home.
He also had a passion for hunting, especially deer season, which he looked forward to each year. Time spent in the woods brought him both excitement and reflection, and he treasured those moments.
At home, Taylor was a devoted gardener who took great pride in caring for his flowers. His yard was a reflection of his patience and dedication — full of life, color, and beauty. Tending to his garden brought him joy and was another way he connected with nature.
Taylor dedicated 44 years of faithful service as a groundskeeper for the University of Delaware. He took immense pride in his work, helping to maintain the beauty of the campus grounds for generations of students, faculty, and visitors. His strong work ethic, reliability, and quiet dedication left a lasting mark on the university community.
Taylor is survived by his sister, Dolores Ford; nephews: Mike Ford, Danny Ford and Sidney Ford; great-nephews: Daniel Ford and Jacob Ford; and great-niece, Lindsay Ford. In addition to his parents, Taylor is preceded in death by his siblings: Nelson Stubbs and Marjorie Austin.
A graveside service will be held on Friday, February 20, 2026 at 10AM at Bethel Cemetery. To send online condolences, please visit www.rtfoard.com.
