Yes, he will lose the home if the loan is not paid: the lender has the right to foreclose on a home if the mortgage is not paid even if there are owners of the home who were not themselves on the loan. The loan came due when the mother passed away: if he wants to keep the house, he needs to either pay the loan or refinance it. The lender's right to be paid (or to foreclose if not paid) is not affected by the fact he was not on the loan.
