Meyer was undoubtedly loved.

"He put his friends and family above everything else," agreed another friend, Molly Mulderrig.

Since his murder, there haven't been many suspect leads; it's something that continues to be unsettling for his family.

"They found Taylor's body stabbed and robbed of his watch," his father, Kris, and sister, Megan explained tearfully. "(They also took) his wallet, iPhone and shoes."

Meyer had moved to California for an executive job with UPS after graduating college, but remained an avid Broncos and winter sports fan. He always had a desire to return back to Colorado and never got the chance. Loved ones still want to know why.
