Grammy-winning producer and engineer Brian Tankersley passed away on Feb. 5, after having fallen sick with an illness in January.

Among his numerous credits are projects by artists including Brooks & Dunn, Israel Houghton, Sawyer Brown, NewSong, Trick Pony, Charlotte Church and Shania Twain.

Gordon Brian Tankersley was born in 1956 in Houston, Texas, and would later pioneer the worship facilities and studios at Lakewood Church in hometown. Loved ones say he was strong Christian, and an encourager who “believed in possibilities more than limits.”
