Best wishes Steve Taylor

[noway]

I heard on the radio today that Steve Taylor suffered a heart attack yesterday.. They said on the radio he seems to be doing better..

[kevin]

Wow thanks Noway I didn't hear that on the news I went to school with his wife she's a sweetie. I sure hope he gets better he seems like a really good father.

[Bahlk]

Isn't he the bald weather guy from the DAM?

[aaron]

Hate to hear that happened to Steve, hope he gets better soon.

[Bahlk]

Here's hoping for a speedy recovery

[kevin]

Isn't he the bald weather guy from the DAM?


Yeah that's him ! Hehas a little girl about two now he brought on Wdam. He's a Nice guy too.:(

[Bahlk]

Damn I knew I didn't see him on tonight's broadcast.

Steve if you are reading this..."Hurry back because it's hurricane season"

[noway]

I was thinking today when I heard the news.. Steve is in his late 30's maybe 40.. I really think that with the new technolgy today you see more and more people getting their pipes cleaned out. Its nothing to play around with but you sure hear more and more of people going in to get the arteries cleanedout..

[cbunch25]

I hope he gets better soon!

Yep, heart attacks happen to people of all ages...when Bee Line had his first heart attack he was in his mid 40's...wish he could have had a "roter-rooter" job done before his arteries got so bad...and he had his heart attacks. That is something I hope I never have to go through again! I wouldn't wish those circumstances on my worst enemy! Thank the Good Lord he pulled through.

Prayers are being sent for Steve's speedy recover.

[eyescene]

Prayers coming your way Steve....see you on the morning show when you get better!!! Till then we'll miss you!!!

[Honey]

May you have a speedy recovery.

[thrillseeker]

Steve is 36 and last night he was in ICU and not doing too good. I havent heard today how he is doing. I will ask my coworker her dad works at the DAM.

[SouthChic]

36?? That's my age! For some reason, I thought he was older.

I'll be praying for Steve and his family.

[thrillseeker]

Nope my friend said he was 36. I thought he was older like early 40s but they said not so. I wish him all the best.

[Bamboo]

Oh, I sure hope he has a speedy recovery. He is my favorite local weather guy!!

[Butterball]

Really like Steve... good local guy

My prayers are with him.

[threekidspa]

I was wondering why he'd been off the air. My prayers are with him...hope he gets better soon. I miss his sense of humor on the weather.

[dreamhippy]

Thanks for all the love! Steve is a heck of a great guy and a good friend! God speed a quick recovery.

[politically incorrect]

Nope my friend said he was 36. I thought he was older like early 40s but they said not so. I wish him all the best.

I remember when Steve Taylor first came to this area, back in the early or mid-90s as the morning DJ on Rock 104. He looked and seemed older than me then, and I am 39. It doesn't really matter, the important thing is that he recovers. But I would be willing to bet he is around his early 40s. Either that, or he "packed on the years" early. Best wishes, Steve. Get well soon.:smt023

[Kitty]

Steve Taylor also hosts the midday show on Rock 104 FM.

He is a very talented media guy, and I wish him a speedy recovery.

[No-Halo]

Good luck Steve on your recovery, hurry back!! :smt023

[IFARM]

So that explains why rex thomsons back on wdam. STEVE TAYLOR GET WELL SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pEtAl mIsFiT]

Wishing Steve and his family all the best and praying for strength for them too

[Chichiguita]

Flinging up a prayer for you Steve and family---lk

[firefly]

I heard on the radio(B95) a couple of days ago that Steve had a birthday & they said that he is 37. He is one of the best weather guys that we have ever had & I wish him Godspeed in his recovery. Prayers are going up for you, Steve! I know that you can feel them! We miss you & love you!:-D

[XC9]

I will keep him and his family in my prayers too. Thanks for the info noway. Dang, not even 40 and heart problems. SCARY!

[Hermione]

I second all the good wishes and prayers, God's blessings be with you , Steve. Like Maggie, I've been through that with somebody and it's a rough road.

[Baloo]

Steve and family, my thoughts and prayers are with you.... May the Lord bless and comfort you and speed the recovery...

[proudtobefrompetal]

My prayers are with Steve and his family. Steve is a wonderful weather man & person with a fantastic personality.

[petalgirl00]

Many prayers for him and his family.

[eyescene]

You know last night @ 10:00 on WDAM they never mentioned it! I was shocked! You would have thought they would mentioned him and gave well wishes!

[Maggie-Doodle]

:smt102 I noticed that too. Dunno why they would be so closed mouth about it. Maybe after they read the well wishes here today they will be forthcoming today and wish him well on the air..if he is able you know he is probably watching!

[bpitt]

Steve Taylor kicks ass.

[citygirl]

May God bless you and heal you. My prayers go out to Steve and his family.

[eyescene]

Does WDAM read MH forum?

[dasmybaby]

i understand he's been allowed to come home, but will be off work for a while.

[TDaleBeavers]

Turning 35 in a couple of months, this hits close to home! I've never met Steve Taylor, but I wish him a speedy recovery.

[OLDLADY]

Prayers and thoughts for Steve and family!!!

[Maggie-Doodle]

Does WDAM read MH forum?

Yep, I believe so...I think both them and the HA get alot of their info from this site. There have been to many incidents where the news "broke" here, then a day or two later one or the other of the media would cover what was "old hat" at MH! :)

[eyescene]

Thanks Maggie, than Steve will possibly read our well wishes, oh good!!

[cubby 1]

i feel certain that he will read this.

[eyescene]

Cubby did my son get in tough?

[cubby 1]

Cubby did my son get in tough?

yes. i just have to find a place.

[eyescene]

OK cool!

[Lylabean]

Best wishes on a speedy recovery! I really enjoyed working with Steve at WDAM.

Working in TV esp at WDAM will make you old before your time! ;)

[Hermione]

I suspect the station couldn't mention it because it's a possible HIPPA violation to discuss an employee's health status??

[omie2]

Get well soon, Steve. We will pray for you.

[threekidspa]

He's back on the WDAM morning show today, and looking good. Glad he was able to pull through this.

[Bahlk]

Good to have you back working Steve (if you read this)

[eyescene]

Yea so happy! Congrats Steve!!!

[aaron]

A close friend of Steve Taylor's forwarded this message to me. It's a message written by Steve to the community:


"To the folks at myhattiesburg.com,

As you know, I suffered a heart attack last week. Its happening at the age of 37 (in fact, on the evening of my 37th birthday) came as something of a shock in some ways. After many years of not dealing well with stress, eating too much and too many of the wrong foods, smoking, and various other means of shortening my life, it all finally caught up with me.

Thankfully, I was able to go home Thursday afternoon with the help of a fine group of doctors and nurses at Forrest General. I had a stent placed in my left circumflex artery, as it was 90% clogged. And, it's amazing how good one can feel when there's suddenly good blood flow through a major artery that has been degraded for the last ten years !!!

And then, I get home and get a note from a friend saying that there was a thread of good wishes on myhattiesburg.com. This was stunning to me, especially since the crowd on that board can be quite critical at times of not only me, but of the organization for whom I work.

However, after actually reading each post, I was very comforted by the thought that so many people that I did not even know were thinking so positively for me and my family (Susan and I are separated but remains very good friends). So, I have to send my thanks back for all those well-wishers.

I write this as I prepare to begin working again. I consider myself lucky, especially since there was so much positive working for me without my knowledge !!!

Just a note of appreciation to the people of myhattiesburg.com.

My best to you all,

Steve Taylor
Hattiesburg, MS."

[birthdaybunnie]

What a nice letter. I was glad to see him back on air at 5:30am today!!! Good luck with his recovery.

[eyescene]

Thanks Steve!! Wow so sorry to hear You and Susan are not together!!! That must be really stressful. I wish y'all good vibes!

And know this, we are fussy here sometimes and very judgmental, but we love too!!! Guess you could say we are just loving humans, who are outspoken!

Take care Steve we are thinking of you!!! And so good to see you back @ work this morning!!! Looking Good!!!

[Bamboo]

Yeah, Steve is back!! Glad to see him again this morning and many thanks for the letter posted above by Aaron.

[threekidspa]

The guy is a class act! He just mentioned all the folks at MH.com on the air (on his Rock 104 show)! :smt023

[pEtAl mIsFiT]

I just heard Steve on Rock 104 he sounds great and I think he has seen a new light on life just by hearing his voice.
He mentioned us all on the radio and talked about the thread that we had about him and the well wishes and he was grateful for this thread.

God bless you Steve!

Wow, I'm really glad that this thread has helped lift his spirits. I've always thought about starting a "flower fund" in case anyone here was in the hospital or sick for some reason. That'd definitely be going in the direction of what I'd like for this community to be.

[pEtAl mIsFiT]

oh yes aaron I think that is a grand idea and we can send for the members and the public and if someone is burned out of their home how nice would it be to give a family a gift card to wal mart or target for much needed things. We could even adopt a family for Chirstmas. I would love to help you in anyway that you might need me Aaron.

[eyescene]

I like that thought too! Aaron!!! Lets do it!!!

[No-Halo]

Bingo!! :clap:

[wilebill]

Glad you're doing well, Steve. Here's wishing you good health for a long time to come.

And although I and some of the others may be critical of WDAM, that doesn't mean we dislike any of you there.

[True Believer]

Steve: all the best to you. And so glad that you're up and going again! I'm amazed that after a week you're up and running, big guy!

I hope that you and Susan can work things out.

[Maggie-Doodle]

Good gracious...Steve if you are reading this, I hope you don't rush getting back to work...with that said though, it is nice to know you are back.

I hope you continue with the speedy recovery.

We may be critical at times but it is good for us to "let off steam!" You see what happens when you don't! :) WDAM has been around forever...and most of the employees seem like family...we spend so much time "watching" them. Good luck with your recovery and take care of yourself!

[bpitt]

I'll say it again. Steve kicks ass.

[Bluesman]

Hey Steve, hope you feeling better... Look, it's thundering outside.... does that mean rain? I sure hope so... get well, get back, and get us some rain already.:smt023

[SouthChic]

So glad you are doing well, Steve. We were all worried and praying. I pray things will work out with you and Susan. God bless you both.

[noway]

Hey steve can you tell the Hottness Pam some of the guys miss her and she needs to hurry back.. ;)

[FIRECHIEF1]

Steve Taylor has done some live broadcast for us at the Fire Dept before. He seems to be just a great, down to earth guy. Get Well Soon

[Lylabean]

Glad to hear you are doing well, Steve. I know I only criticize WDAM because I really do care about the station and would like to see it become the kind of workplace and on air presence it used to have.

I've never worked anywhere quite like WDAM and the people that I worked with - for the most part - I really enjoyed getting to know and doing things with.

God Bless!

Lynn

[Fishing Girl]

Speedy Recovery to you!!!

[TDaleBeavers]

Steve was back on WDAM this morning on the 6 o'clock morning show.

[SoMissTV]

Steve was back on WDAM this morning on the 6 o'clock vote.

6 o'clock vote? You got election on the brain, Beav?

Steve, hope you're feeling better!

[carsalesguy]

[TDaleBeavers]

6 o'clock vote? You got election on the brain, Beav?

Steve, hope you're feeling better!


I guess with all the last minute political ads running as I arose from my slumber, I made a slip in my post. :smt118 It was good seeing Steve back this morning.

[IFARM]

Gooooooooooood-Bye Rex! So glad to see you back on wdam!!!!!!!!

[SuzyQ]

Gooooooooooood-Bye Rex! So glad to see you back on wdam!!!!!!!!


How about...Thanks Rex, for covering for Steve while he was gone! Jerk!

[cubby 1]

Just glad Steve is recovering well. He could have taken as much time as needed.... just get well.

[IFARM]

How about...Thanks Rex, for covering for Steve while he was gone! Jerk!
Hmmm. Did some research. Did not know WDAM weather was sore subject with some folks.Been called alot worse. I just don't like Rex:-D GO! STEVE TAYLOR GO:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

[carsalesguy]

how about being nice to someone who does the weather.

what does it matter if you like him or not- this is not really the place to be publically criticizing someone just because you don't like them.

BTW rex does the weekend weather- shows how much you know

Rex had been filling in for Steve while he was out.

[SoMissTV]

When did this stop being that place? :confused:

[aaron]

When did this stop being that place? :confused:

I think he means this thread.

[SoMissTV]

I think he means this thread.

Oh. Fair enough.

[Elle May]

Glad Steve is back and may he have continued good health.

[Guru]

Hey Steve, that stress can do a number on you. Look for the sunshine in your day and do what your doctors tell you. Trust that something greater than you is handling the mega-stuff and do what you can with the small and medium things, all pieces of the puzzle will fall together. When life seems a little overwhelming, start with the small things one at a time and all the rest will fall in place.

[SueScribe]

. . . Steve Taylor !!! :clap: Good SHOW!! ( . . . thank th' lawd . . I thought somethin' had happened to Steve Tyler . . . the AGE is creepin' up on me . . deah lawd . . .)
