MARION, NORTH CAROLINA: 'Southern Charm' star Taylor Ann Green's brother Richard Worthington Green died at 36. Known to his dear ones as 'Worth', the 'Bravo' star's brother died last Thursday, June 8. "Worth left this world on top of the world - he had a beautiful passion for life and cared deeply for those around him," read a statement by Green's family.
"We are going to miss his jovial personality and all of the love and laughter that he brought his family, girlfriend, and countless friends. Heartbroken is an understatement, but we are finding so much peace knowing he is in the arms of our heavenly father. We kindly ask for privacy at this time," the statement continued, according to People.
'This family will never be the same'
The news of Worth's death was first shared by his sister Catie King. Worth and Taylor Ann's sister Catie King first shared the news via Instagram tribute: "You are the best big brother I could have ever asked for. This family will never be the same. I love you to the moon and back," King captioned the Instagram tribute.
Under the post shared by King, Taylor Ann's fellow Southern Charm star and ex-boyfriend commented calling her brother "absolutely one of a kind. A pleasure to know and to laugh with."
A South Carolina funeral home shared an obituary in which Worth was described as a person who "was a beautiful example of how to live life as fully as possible. His personality was vibrant, outgoing, and loving. Worth never knew a stranger."
'He was a vivacious and loving son'
"Worth loved his family dearly. Any excuse to be with them, he truly loved with his whole heart. He was a vivacious and loving son and grandson, and the best big brother to his sisters, always being there as a protector and a cheerleader," read the obituary.
The television personality's brother recently began a men's group in his community in North Carolina to "reflect on life and challenge each other's faith in Christ." The obituary also revealed that Worth recently got into a relationship with a woman named Caroline whom he "adored and treasured."
“Most recently he met the woman he adored and treasured. Caroline brought so much joy to his life. He loved her enough to bring her home to his family and was beginning to plan a future with her by his side. Friends too numerous to name will miss the exuberant love for life that Worth brought to them," the tribute read. Worth's funeral will be held Saturday, June 17.
