Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio is remembering his friend Tyler Duckworth.
The reality star shared a touching tribute to his longtime friend and The Challenge costar after his death at the age of 44.
“You were more than a friend,” Devenanzio captioned a video posted to Instagram Aug. 15. “More than a roommate. You were the brother I never had. Rest easy, Tyler. You’ll always be family. 147:3”
The Bible verse Devanzio referenced at the end of his tribute says, “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
Alongside his written tribute, the Traitors alum sang and played the guitar to “Pink Skies” by Zach Bryan as videos and photos of Duckworth and Devenanzio’s time on The Challenge play on screen, beginning with an emotional moment they shared on The Challenge: Rivals in 2011.
The duo first met as roommates on The Real World: Key West back in 2006 before competing against one another on The Challenge: The Duel that same year.
