    I believe Taylor’s mother is descended from Bernard O’Brien and Ann/Anna Ausec. His mother appears to at some point have had the surname O’Brien, and also has some relation to the Robert O’Brien in the obituary above (uncle?). I’m not sure if O’Brien was her birth surname, but since the Ausec family is Croatian it checks out.

    This is a complete lie. It says everywhere online that he is of Middle Eastern and Mexican descent.
