Southern Charm star Taylor Ann Green's brother Worth is dead at 36

Southern Charm star Taylor Ann Green’s brother Richard Worthington Green, who was known as Worth, has died at the age of 36.

Worth and Taylor Ann’s sister Catie King broke the tragic news on Instagram with a picture of him beaming while sitting on a boat.

‘You are the best big brother I could have ever asked for. This family will never be the same,’ wrote Catie, adding the quote: ‘I love you to the moon and back.’ 

Her Instagram post indicated that Worth died on June 8 – just six days after his birthday – but did not disclose the cause.

An obituary posted on a North Carolina funeral home’s website revealed Worth had found love with a woman he had introduced to his family.

The devastating news comes five months after another Southern Charm star, Olivia Flowers, lost her 32-year-old brother Conner.

Conner’s death was preceded by a years-long battle with Lyme disease, as well as a turbulent past including arrests for drug offenses and driving under the influence.

Worth’s obituary described him as an ‘adventurer’ with a ‘love of travel’ who taught English while living in South Korea post-college.

He was hailed as a ‘protector and a cheerleader’ to his two younger sisters and ‘a beautiful example of how to live life as fully as possible.’

The obituary noted that the deceased ‘had recently started a small men’s group in Raleigh to reflect on life and challenge each other’s faith in Christ.’

In a comment on Catie’s Instagram post, Taylor Ann’s ex Shep Rose wrote that Worth was ‘Absolutely one of a kind. A pleasure to know and to laugh with.’

Worth’s heartbreaking death came at an already fraught time for his family, as Catie found herself fighting a recurrence of cancer last year.

In May 2022 Taylor Ann wrote on Instagram: ‘Almost 5 years ago, my older sister was diagnosed with 2 different types of ovarian cancer; she was a damn warrior and kicked its a** after a few months of holistic treatment.’

Taylor Ann continued: ‘We were so excited for her and her husband to hopefully have the chance of starting a family, but here we are 4 and a half years later and it has decided to rear its ugly head again. Truly F you cancer.’

Catie announced in December that she had undergone ‘[h]opefully my last major surgery ever needed, an oophorectomy of my only ovary and tube I had left.’

She wrote wanly: ‘A part of us is gone and will never be what we dreamt of, but we trust God’s greater plan for our little family.’

Meanwhile Conner Flowers’ exact cause of death has not been made public, but his sister wrote on Instagram last month that his Lyme disease left him battling ‘debilitating symptoms over the last 17 years.’

Olivia added that he was subjected to ‘several misdiagnoses and unnecessary medicinal treatment at a young age.’

She went on: ‘By the time he was properly tested and given a diagnosis from Dr. Jemsek, a God send, and an infectious disease specialist, the disease had caused severe internal damage, and the consequences from his earlier “treatment” were just as long-lasting and devastating.’
