Taylor Ann Green and her family are currently grieving the loss of her beloved brother, Richard Worthington Green (known as Worth), who passed away at the age of 36. The announcement was made by Catie King, Taylor's sister, via an emotional Instagram post on June 12th. The tribute to Worth was accompanied by a broken heart emoji and expressed the deep love and admiration that his family had for him. Catie described him as the best big brother anyone could ask for and acknowledged that their family would never be the same without him.

King paid tribute to Worth Green by sharing two photos of him and a graphic that read “In Loving Memory [of] Worth Green.” The image also displayed the dates indicating that Worth passed away on June 8, just days after celebrating his birthday.

In the wake of her brother's passing, Taylor did not make any public statements on social media. However, her family released an official statement to People on June 14, expressing their grief and celebrating Worth's life. They described him as someone who lived life to the fullest and cared deeply for those around him, and spoke fondly of his infectious personality and the joy he brought to those closest to him.

The family expressed their profound sadness and grief, but also found solace in the knowledge that their loved one is now in the embrace of God. They have respectfully requested for privacy during this difficult period. On the other hand, Taylor's former partner, Shep Rose, conveyed his support through a message left on Catie's post.

The Shep Gear founder, 43, described the deceased as unique and delightful to be around, adding that laughter was always present in their company. A Celebration of Life service has been announced on the website of North Carolina's Westmoreland Funeral Home & Crematory, with the obituary suggesting that instead of flowers, Worth would have preferred people to use the funds to spend quality time with their loved ones. The post also mentions that donations in Worth's memory can be made to a charity of your choice.

Fans of Bravo's Southern Charm were introduced to Taylor during the show's seventh season in 2020, when he was in a steady relationship with Rose. However, in July 2022, it was confirmed that the couple had split. Despite the breakup, Taylor shared with Us at BravoCon three months later that he will always be in love with her and will continue to root for her happiness. "I love her. That's all you need to know," the RelationShep star said exclusively. He also expressed his willingness to do anything to ensure her happiness in life.

In a tragic turn of events, Taylor becomes the second Southern Charm cast member to suffer the loss of a sibling this year. Back in February, it was reported that Olivia Flowers' brother, Conner Flowers, had passed away at the young age of 32. Conner was a beloved individual, known for his kind and compassionate nature, and his ability to effortlessly make friends wherever he went. He held his faith and family close to his heart, and his absence will be deeply felt by those who knew him. Olivia's family has requested privacy as they mourn the loss of their beloved son and brother.

During an episode of the “Scheananigans with Scheana Shay” podcast, Olivia reflected on her grieving process two months later. She called out Austen Kroll, her former fling and costar, for a moment they shared while filming season 9 earlier this year. Olivia admitted to being an inconsistent friend and explained that she hadn't fully processed what was happening in her real life. Dealing with the drama on the show has made things even more challenging for her, and she's unsure how it will all play out in the end.
