The 12-year-old was struck by a car on Brett Street in Bridlington and died of his injuries the following morning.
It is the third tragedy to hit Taylor's mum Katie in just over a decade. Taylor's father Stuart Swift died in a road accident at Carnaby 11 years ago.
Last year, her husband Andy Tolley, Taylor's stepfather was killed in a motorcycle accident at Bempton.
An online fund set up to support the family has seen more than £6,000 pledged by the Bridlington community in the first 36 hours.
