Outside music, he worked as a dump truck driver for Wolfe's Excavating, where he was known as the "Truck Boss" and enjoyed being outdoors. Music remained an important part of his life.

The obituary lists six children as survivors: Zach Morris, Ashton Goines, Logan Duckworth, Kayla Starkey, Michael Starkey and Matt Starkey, some noted with their partners. He is also survived by four grandchildren named Jax, Raiden, Dane and Dimitri, plus a granddaughter who was on the way, the obituary said.
The obituary also named his mother-in-law Naomi "Pauline" Kish Scheuvront and detailed his siblings and stepsiblings. Survivors include Sherri Sibley, Christine Ward, Greg Duckworth, Wendy Adams, Traci White, Jeff Duckworth and stepsisters Sheri Summerfield and Dusti Sayre. His beloved pets Chester, Lucy, Sloan and Tank also survive him. He was preceded in death by his brother Dennis Keith Duckworth and his father-in-law Robert "Bob" Lee Scheuvront, the obituary added.
Legacy And Community Remembrance
The obituary emphasized Duckworth's devotion to family, music and the outdoors as central to his legacy. It described music as a continuing presence in his life through performances with Taylor Made and through the bonds he formed with relatives and local listeners.
