Departures of note

Brian "Nashville" Duckworth was a country singer known as the voice of his family band Taylor Made, formed in 2008 with his brother Greg and sister Wendy Williams. The trio first performed together under the name I-79 at the Colgate Country Showdown before rebranding as Taylor Made, and they made a name for themselves with songs such as "Things You Don't Grow Out Of," which reached No. 36 on the Billboard Indicator chart. He grew up singing with his siblings and continued performing with them at fairs and festivals for years, earning the affectionate nickname "Nashville" for never passing up a chance to share his voice. Offstage, Duckworth worked as a dump truck driver for Wolfe's Excavating, a job he loved for the time it gave him outdoors. He died at his home on Sept. 7, 2026, at age 56, and is survived by his wife Tina, six children, four grandchildren, and five siblings.
