Jesse Taggart

May 3, 1926 - March 18, 2022

Jesse (Vic) Taggart, 95, passed away March 18, 2022. Jesse was born May 3, 1926, to Jesse and Annie (Braly) Taggart in DeQueen, Arkansas. His nickname is Vic because when he was a boy there was a man in town named Vic who always wore a hat. Jesse bought a hat just like his and everyone started calling him “little Vic”. It stuck. Jesse joined the Navy in 1944 and served in WWII aboard the USS Harmon, which was a destroyer escort, in the South Pacific. After the war he and his wife Mary moved to California, and he went to work for North American Aviation in El Segundo. He retired from Boeing as a test lab supervisor in 1991. He is survived by his children, Michael Taggart of Prescott, Arizona, Ruth Jones of Sierra Vista, Arizona, Ron Taggart of Golden Valley, Arizona, and Gary Taggart of Redondo Beach, California. Jesse is also survived by his brother, Lloyd Taggart of Torrance, California. Services will be held for Jesse/Vic at 10:30AM on April 11, 2022, at Sunrise Funeral Home Chapel located at 8167 E. Hwy 69, in Prescott Valley, Arizona. He will be buried at Riverside National Cemetery in Riverside, California.
