Police said Taylor's body was in a field on his property. WDRB reported that an autopsy still needs to be completed before an official cause of death is released.

News of his death first came out on Friday.

What's Next: Taylor founded the business in 1993 and followed a classic entrepreneurial uphill battle to make it a success.

The company said its President Jerry Morgan will immediately take over the CEO role. Morgan has been with the company since 1997 and was already included in the company's succession planning.

Shares of Texas Roadhouse ended down slightly on Friday at $95.71, a drop of 0.48% on the day.
