The world is a less joyful place without Toby Keith. Rest in peace, brother. ❤✝

[@user-nz4zb2oj3d]

So true. It hurts so bad.😢

[@audiophileman7047]

He was too young to go, but as they say, "Only the good die young."@@user-nz4zb2oj3d

[@kimberlypotts3874]

AMEN

[@KevinMphotography]

I can’t think of a day when I haven’t had Toby Keith playing in my car to this day. Now I’m listening to “I’m so happy I can’t stop crying and it has different meaning.”

[@audiophileman7047]

Toby has gone into eternity now.✝ Be happy for him and continue to enjoy the gifts of his recordings. @@KevinMphotography

[@xxfinnitxx]

i'm not even American, but his been my all time favourite singer since I was a little kid. My dad is an aussie iraq vet and he told me that Toby played a concert for the vets in 2005. So I grew up on his music, it's not gonna be the same without him

[@ritasanchez651]

My Man!! 😢💔 The Best American Oklahoma Cowboy ❤

[@4Cabin]

He was a living legend who is sorely missed by 10s of millions. This country lost an irreplicable treasure way to young. RIP brother and fellow patriot.

[@trumpster635]

You will be dearly dearly missed. Really. Prayers for Toby Keith's family 😣

[@platinumpineapple9943]

All of Oklahoma sends its Condolences! Rest in Peace Legend! What a life for Toby Kieth!

[@matthewskudzienski888]

American Soldier is my favorite country music

[@spfadden082711]

Yeah it’s very well written. I also like courtesy of the red white and blue. I loved a lot of his songs but those stick out to me .

[@JC-ww7kp]

Rest in Peace Toby , thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us , your legacy will live on 💔💔💔❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

[@ThatTaRaGiRL]

Toby has been a part of my life (through his music) since I was a kid (I'm 37) His music brings back some awesome memories of summer BBQs, random gatherings around bon fires, fun times camping etc. 🏕 He will be missed by MANY! My condolences go out to his family and personal friends. RIP Toby 🤎

[@crptnite]

Should've Been a Cowboy was my favorite song that summer. i still remember singing it while riding my bike to the lagoon to watch the gators...

[@Ahmed-Crane]

The world is a less joyful place without Toby Keith. Rest in peace, brother.

[@JasonNation72]

RIP and thanks for the memories, Toby. I'm sure it's a sweet reunion with Wayman Tisdale. I'm sure the fans will get that reference.

[@annebartz9175]

Rest in peace Toby. I'm sure you will be filling the heavens with music. You will be missed ❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭

[@kimberlypotts3874]

AMEN

[@teresas.7076]

[@tmad273]

His songs brought me laughter, pride and tears, I will never forget you Brother. Rest in Peace.

[@user-ny9fi9qp1e]

So damn sad..

[@fungirl4027]

So 💔😓. He was a true Patriot and amazing songwriter. Thank you for everything you have done from visiting our fighting soldiers to building the OK Kids Korral and everything in between. You stayed true to your roots and never let the fame get to your head. My condolences to your mama, siblings, wife, children and grandchildren. RIP Big Dog Daddy.

[@plutobars7700]

[@ericriley922]

Rip legend 🙏 thank you for all the amazing music you gave us your voice will never die

[@vha3742171]

Can't believe he gone. We miss you. My prayers with his family. God bless you.

[@LuvsCats297]

RIP Toby a true patriot

[@johngrohs8031]

Toby is a legend, his legacy and music will always live on. The 90's and the 2000's had great country music singers. But none like Toby Keith, and even in the new country back in the 2010s. He could still go with the new talent. Rest in Peace Toby, and may Toby sing with the greats in heaven that have sang before him in country music, Hank Williams, George Jones, Loretta Lynn, Keith Whitley, Joe Diffie, Charlie Pride, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Elvis and all the others that have crossed over.

[@sebrinastarr1697]

I didn't know he played semi football. My dad showed me him as a kid. Even tho I'm more into rap, Toby Keith never got boring ❤ RIP

[@HarleyCenter-uv9vs]

Oh man god bless this man and his family what a great singer.

[@JonathanHernandez-mm3nd]

Rest In Peace Toby Keith.

[@jonathanmccrea4179]

Prayers for Dave, he is fighting alone now

[@user-yx3jw3qy3q]

Everyone loves you Toby and we love your family and wish the best for toughs still here.

[@delenameredith2156]

😢 prayers for his family and fans and colleagues and I love his music he is singing with the Angels

[@cherylkiley6373]

My Heart goes out to Toby's family and friends and to all the fans who loved him, Like Me. And like Toby, Ive had cancer. It's not a pretty thing. The pre-pain, the surgery, the chemo treatments, the radiation treatments drain you of energy, motivation and pride! It kicks your ass!!! You feel as if you lose everything. But that only makes you more determined to Beat it's Fuckin Ass! Toby may have lost the battle, but he didn't lose the fight. He was courageous and determined and went on with his life. I have too. I will miss the man & his music. Thank you, Toby.🤠

[@OriginalStory1]

The man lives through his music, though im not a country fan..more and more i get close to noting it always hits home how lovely country is, and what an amazing talent and influential person he is/was

[@daymonpancheri8846]

RIP Toby Keith 🙇🏻‍♂️ Your music will live on forever cowboy 🍻

[@emiliobello2538]

[@spfadden082711]

I remember being a kid and hearing should’ve been a cowboy and instantly loving the song. Been a fan since. Him and Eddie Van Halen were really the only two who have passed away in the last few years that got to me. I listened to his 35 greatest hits today and so many songs bring me back to different times in my life

[@t.e.8084]

He was blessed with family fame and fortune.

[@SUGAR_XYLER]

Have it all....lose it all. Those things couldn't save him

[@yolondaguajardo7992]

I'll miss you my friend your with the angels

[@melodyann44]

I wasn't the biggest Toby Keith fan ' more of a rocker girl. But I admired his respect he paid to our troops .. Now there's no one to bring love ' entertainment & joy to our troops. Heartbreaking

[@josephmedina6403]
