Country music fans and community members are mourning the loss of Brian “Nashville” Duckworth, the cherished country musician and vocalist for the family band Taylor Made, who passed away on September 7, 2026, at his home in Clarksburg, West Virginia. He was 56 years old.

Duckworth’s passing was confirmed through an official obituary released by Bartlett Funeral Home. While an official cause of death has not been publicly disclosed, news of his departure has prompted widespread tributes from fans, colleagues, and music lovers celebrating his vocal talent, heart for songwriting, and warm presence.

A Musical Legacy Built on Family Harmony

Before achieving wider regional recognition with his family, Duckworth began his journey as a passionate solo vocalist. His big breakthrough came when he joined forces with his relatives—including Greg Duckworth and Wendy Williams—to form the country music trio Taylor Made.

Known for their smooth harmonies and heart-on-the-sleeve lyricism, Taylor Made quickly became a favorite among country fans. Duckworth’s powerful vocal delivery and authentic stage presence earned him the affectionate nickname “Nashville” among peers and listeners.

Friends and fans highlighted his rare ability to connect through a lyric, noting that he had an undeniable way of bringing storytelling to life on stage.

The ‘Truck Boss’ Who Stayed Grounded

Despite his vocal talents and success in the music scene, Duckworth maintained a grounded, hard-working lifestyle. When he wasn’t on stage performing, he worked as a dedicated dump truck driver for Wolfe’s Excavating—a role that earned him his second popular nickname, “Truck Boss.”

His obituary noted how much he genuinely enjoyed the work, as it allowed him to combine his strong work ethic with his deep love for being outdoors in nature.

“Whether working or relaxing, Brian was happiest surrounded by nature… Brian never passed up an opportunity to share his voice, earning him the affectionate nickname ‘Nashville.’ Above all, Brian Duckworth treasured his family and the special memories they created together.”

Survivors and Funeral Services

Duckworth is survived by his wife, Tina Scheuvront Duckworth, whom he married in 2010; six children (Zach, Ashton, Logan, Kayla, Michael, and Matt); four grandchildren; as well as his brothers, sisters, extended family, and his beloved pets.

A public funeral service to honor Duckworth’s life and legacy is scheduled for September 14, 2026, at the Bartlett Funeral Home in Clarksburg, West Virginia, where family and friends will gather to pay their final respects.
