Wayne Kent Taylor, the founder and executive chairman of the sit-in restaurant Texas Roadhouse passed away after he committed suicide. He was struggling with long COVID-19 symptoms that led to him taking his life.

Kent Taylor, 65 took his own life on Sunday morning. His family and the company confirmed his passing.

Taylor was suffering from extreme tinnitus, a common condition that bringing ringing of the ears. But the coronavirus made the symptoms unbearable for him.

"Kent battled and fought hard like the former track champion that he was, but the suffering that greatly intensified in recent days became unbearable," the statement said.

Taylor recently committed to funding a clinical study to help military members suffering from tinnitus.

Taylor opened up the first Texas Roadhouse in the Green Tree Mall in Clarksville, Indiana, a suburb of Louisville, Kentucky. He worked at nightclubs and restaurants with a dream to open up his own culinary school.

Texas Roadhouse is a popular causal dining restaurant.

He worked as a manager for Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) and hoped to open up a Colorado-themed restaurant. He got a loan from then governor John Y. Brown, Jr and opened up the Buckhead Hickory Grill. It changed to Buckhead Mountain Grill before shuttering.

Brown and Taylor would soon have a falling out and it led to Taylor opening up a Texas-themed restaurant.

When he opened up Texas Roadhouse, it became wildly successful and then he would open up other locations in Ohio, Florida and soon expand his business across the country and into Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, the Philippines, Taiwan, Mexico, China and South Korea.

Texas Roadhouse has closed up several locations in the United States. In Dayton, Ohio, there's only one location left in the area.

The restaurant offers free buckets of peanuts at each table along with free dinner bread rolls with honey cinnamon butter.

The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about your business, your performances, your personal finances and travel.  It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.

Death does happen to at least 40% of those who are affected by COVID-19.

Healthy people can die from this. Take this seriously. You only have one life!
