Fundraiser launched for man whose wife died in tornado

A fundraising effort has been launched for an Autauga County man whose wife was killed when a tornado hit their home in Autuaga County on Jan. 12.

Andrea Sue Taylor, 61, was one of seven people in Autauga County killed in the tornado.

Deb Matthews launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for David “Cowboy” Taylor.

“David (Cowboy) Taylor lost his wife, Sue, in this tragic event as well as their dogs and their home,” Matthews wrote. “There of course is no money in the world that can replace these, but there will be a large number of expenses David (Cowboy) will have as he faces a long road ahead from this tragedy.”

Numerous other fundraisers related to tornado victims in Alabama have been launched on the web site.
