Texas Roadhouse founder and CEO Kent Taylor died on Thursday, the restaurant chain announced on its Facebook page. He was 65.
Taylor died by suicide after a battle with post-Covid-19 related symptoms, including severe tinnitus, the family said in a company-issued statement. Tinnitus is typically described as a ringing in the ear.
“After a battle with post-Covid related symptoms, including severe tinnitus, Kent Taylor took his own life this week,” the family said. “Kent battled and fought hard like the former track champion that he was, but the suffering that greatly intensified in recent days became unbearable.”
Taylor’s family said that Taylor recently committed to fund a clinical study to help members of the military who suffer with tinnitus.
“We will miss you, Kent. Because of you and your dream of Texas Roadhouse, we get to say we (love) our jobs every day,” the company wrote in a Facebook post on Friday.
