Mycaila Taye Williams-Arnold “La” “Lallie” “Taye” “Tater”

Born August 28, 1999 in Billings, MT, Mycaila spent her childhood moving around a bit, spending most of the time in Indianapolis and St. Louis.

After highschool, she moved to Indianapolis to find some independence and got right to work. Returning to St Louis a year later, she became closer to family, built a fun-loving friend group, and pursued her interests in art and tattooing. Mycaila had an electric personality that attracted others, she loved nightlife, food, and finding new places to go and share time with friends living life to the fullest.

    Taye was amazing. They were fearless and honest always. They could demolish you in Mario Kart/Fortnite and compliment you in the same breathe. They were a fantastic wing man because most people wanted to approach them. They had an enigmatic energy that everyone gravitated towards. When I was feeling sick they delivered a candle and some snacks to me. When I wasn't feeling confident they would build me up and tell me to check myself because I was a catch. They understood how to be a good friend and a better Virgo. I'm mostly hurt for their mother and siblings. Taye always referred to her mom as her best friend and their siblings as the coolest. I haven't been able to stop thinking about them since this happened and I extend my condolences. The world lost someone really special.

    Mycaila was a beautiful soul. I remember her birthday party @ Harry & Izzy's & when she walked in the room every head turned her way.She was a presence. My granddaughters adored her as we all did.

    Mycaila is and always will be my best friend. She even treated me like a sister, loving me and being there for me no matter what. Her voice was so beautiful, she was the most beautiful inside and out. She helped shape me into who I am today, whether it was showing me how to do my makeup and pushing me to use my voice or even just loving who I am regardless of what others think. I love you so much, so so much with all I have. Thank you for everything you've done for me and others, truly the light of all our lives.
