Taylor Brook McIntyre came to her final rest on August 18, 2026, at her home in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, surrounded by her loving family.

She was born on May 13, 1993, in Sikeston, Missouri, to Walter Rainey Jr. and Deborah Renelle McIntyre. Taylor was the proud owner of Exotic Roots, where she was able to do what she loved most-doing hair and making people feel beautiful.

Taylor loved her family deeply and cherished every moment spent with them. She was a proud mother to her son, Cai Pascal, who was the light of her life and meant more to her than anything in this world. Taylor was kind, loving, funny, and always made sure to take care of the people she loved. She had a special way of bringing joy and laughter to those around her, and her presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Taylor is survived by her beloved son, Cai Pascal; her sister, Kiara White, and her husband, Emanuel White; and their five children, who were Taylor's beloved nieces and nephews: Tobias, Emoni, Kinslee "Sue Mama," Easton, and Kaislee. She is also survived by her grandmother, Sharon McIntyre; stepmother Shannon McIntyre; stepbrother, Jacob Simmermaker; aunt, Ramona Rainey; along with many special family members and friends who will miss her dearly.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Deborah McIntyre; her grandparents, Bob McIntyre, Vera Rainey, and Walter Rainey Sr.; and her uncle, Darren McIntyre.

Public visitation will be held on Saturday, August 22, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. at Caudle Funeral Home. Funeral services will begin at 1:00 p.m., with Bishop T.D. Robinson officiating.

Interment will follow at Oak Ridge Cemetery in Zadock, Missouri.

Pallbearers will be Malaysia, Kiara, Kiana, Muffin, Britt, Taj, TT, Breezy Bre, Kia, Caz, and Emanuel.

The family extends their sincere gratitude to all of the family and friends who came to visit Taylor, offer their love and support, and share their kind words with her during her final days. Your presence, compassion, and kindness brought comfort to Taylor and her loved ones during an incredibly difficult time, and they will forever be grateful.
