“Our community and the restaurant industry have lost a legend and the Taylor family has lost a wonderful son, father and grandfather this week,” a joint statement sent to CNN on Saturday from Taylor’s family and Texas Road House said.
Taylor died of suicide after a fight with a fight with Covid-19-related symptoms, including severe tinnitus, or a ringing in the ears, and his suffering has increased in recent days, the statement said.
The statement said Taylor paid for the clinical study to help members of the military suffering from tenitis.
The statement said Kent could leave an unmatched legacy as the first leader of the people, which is why he always said that the Texas Road House was a people’s company that was just being built to serve the steaks.
“It has changed the lives of millions of employees and guests over the last 28 years.”
“Kent’s kind and generous spirit was his constant driving force, whether he was quietly helping a friend or a large American company building in Texadorhouse,” Fisher wrote. “He was a shrewd entrepreneur who embodied the values of never giving up and putting others first. I am deeply saddened by Kent’s family and many friends.”
The family statement said Taylor came up with the idea that it would later become a Texas roadhouse on cocktail napkins.
The Texas Roadhouse first opened in 1993, according to the company’s website, and has more than 600 locations in the United States and 10 restaurants in other countries.
Correction: The previous version of this story misrepresented the year the Texas Roadhouse opened. That was in 1993.
