The Challenge’s Tyler Duckworth honored in private farewell in Grand Forks
The Challenge star Tyler Duckworth was laid to rest in a private funeral at Augustana Lutheran Church in Grand Forks, North Dakota, with co-star Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio sharing photos and delivering remarks from the pulpit; Greg Bennett-Cesarini also attended. Duckworth, 44, died earlier this month and his official cause of death remains undetermined; he had recently undergone surgery and was found unresponsive “up against the door” with reports noting a bathtub overflow and water leakage from a neighbor’s ceiling. A memorial pamphlet reading “Celebrating the life of Tyler” and Philippians 4:6-7 was circulated at the service.
