It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of NAIFA Past President Jeffrey J. Taggart, CLU, ChFC, LUTCF.

Mr. Taggart was NAIFA president from 2007 to 2008 and was a third-generation NAIFA member. He followed closely in the footsteps of his grandfather, Grant Taggart, who was called the “Will Rogers of the insurance industry.”

Mr. Taggart was also a life member of MDRT, a board member of the Life Foundation and a member of numerous industry and civic organizations. He was a beloved NAIFA leader and will always be remembered as a wonderful friend and a pillar of strength in the financial-services industry.
