Once Brian Duckworth's death was confirmed, his family, fans, and fellow musicians shared their memories about him. Among those people has been Brian's niece, Brianna Duckworth Kazner, who opened up about her special bond with her uncle.
She shared a heartfelt message on social media and revealed that she had talked to the late country singer just days before his death. In turn, she expressed her disbelief that one of Taylor Made's last appearances with Brian happened at her wedding. Sharing the contents of her last call, she said:
"Having a hard time believing the last time Taylor Made sang together was at my wedding. If we can please go back to this day and have them sing a few more."
Brianna also described that Brian was more than a talented musician. In fact, he was her trusted mentor. Whenever she struggled to finish a song or couldn't come out of writer's block, he used to guide her. In her words:
"As I've gotten older and started writing my own music, I knew the guy to call whenever I got creatively 'stuck.' He truly had such a way with song lyrics that I knew without a doubt Uncle Brian would pull me out of the songwriter's slump."
Meanwhile, Brian's official obituary confirmed that he took his last breath at his home in Clarksburg, West Virginia. However, his family or representatives have not revealed any official cause for his death. Most of the fans and colleagues knew Brian as a performer. But the people close to him say that his family was always a priority in his life. The late country singer is survived by his wife, Tina Scheuvront Duckworth, his six children, and his grandchildren.
Brian's obituary describes him as someone who loved to spend time with his loved ones. Whether he was making music, spending time outdoors, or spending time with his loved ones, he always found happiness in simple parts of life. For those who do not know, the singer has also earned the nickname "Nashville," which stayed with him till the end of his life.
Many people who paid tribute to him mentioned his songwriting abilities. They also described that he was one of the few people who could transform everyone's experiences into meaningful lyrics. Some people who knew him close enough have found it painful to process his death because he was actively involved in making music right up until the end of his life.
