## He died at 56
Country singer Brian Duckworth died at his home on Sept. 7, according to an obituary shared by his family. No cause of death was given.
## Truck Boss by day
He drove a dump truck for Wolfe's Excavating and loved it, mostly because the work kept him outdoors. The job earned him a second nickname.

> He truly enjoyed it because it allowed him to spend his days outdoors
## Why they called him Nashville
He sang every chance he got, on any stage his family band could find. The nickname stuck because he never turned down a song.

> Brian never passed up an opportunity to share his voice
## Three siblings, one band
Brian, his brother Greg and his sister Wendy Williams formed I-79 in 2008, debuting at the Colgate Country Showdown. They later became Taylor Made.
## A song that charted
Taylor Made's "Things You Don't Grow Out Of" reached No. 36 on the Billboard Indicator chart, their high-water mark on a bigger stage.
## The last time they sang
His niece posted wedding video of Taylor Made's final performance together. She called him whenever a lyric stalled, and they had just talked about a new song idea.

> I can't count the number of times we got to sing together but it will have never been enough
## Key takeaway

A regional country act built on three siblings and a day job can leave a mark as deep as any chart run.
