'He Lived To The Fullest': Robin Marsh Reflects On Interviewing Toby Keith

[@sergeantmasson3669]

Toby's wife, Tricia Lucus, by his side for 40 years.

[@thes7054]

His marriage and love for this country will be one of a kind. He flew overseas to bring hope to the troops and I will forever be grateful. RIP ❤

[@judithbishop993]

Thank you. Robin, I do not think anyone could have done an interview with as much grace and dignity.

[@constancereed-ff8su]

Love how she referred to the interview as Stewart of his story.

[@DaNiyaHodge]

Rip Toby Covel Keith, you will truly be missed

[@ruthjesse6759]

Prayers for Toby’s Entire Family. Wonderful interview Robin

[@TheSoundwave92]

You can tell that Robin cried her eyes out this morning. It's still pretty clear just by the way she was talking and reflecting back on her last interactions with him. Is there anything to take away from this news today? Is that to honor Toby Besides listening to his music, I think that people should really donate to his foundation for cancer research. People only have one life. So we need to do our part to make this world a better place if we want to honor him properly.

[@jamiebrooks9636]

Toby didn’t have a selfish bone in his body he give of his self so unselfishly with the love and kindness that surpasses all

[@lifeoflw84]

To his family.. thanks for sharing him with us.. He’s a legend here in Oklahoma.. Fly high Toby the cancer is now gone!! BOOMER SOONER..🙏🏼🤍

[@SharonWard-dx1sv]

Amen. ☁️🎺👼🙏✨👑

[@graniteguy8410]

Toby was a wonderful man... In 1991 Toby's band Easy Money played every 6 weeks at a club I owned .... what a special band Toby assembled !!! Toby was a prolific song writer! ... paying Toby 600 a nite I think back he never cared about the dollars. I was in Nashville the nite Toby signed his record deal....the dollars changed but it didn't change the man he would talk about his dad often and how hard work was instilled in him at a young age.... Toby loved America An OU fan he would talk recruiting and football every time we set down together .... of all his attributes he loved the Lord Jesus Christ!!! Like Toby I found Christ and I thank God Toby experienced the same!!! RIP

[@SuperBigblue19]

I live up here in the PNW and I got to tell you that Oklahomans have a gem in Robin Marsh. And I have no doubt Toby Keith thought the same.

[@alittlewheiser521]

My heart is broken. He fought so hard and so stoically….all while remaining so positive. My most sincere condolences to his family. Toby will live on with all of us thru his music. God bless you Toby…❤️

[@cheyennestandish7599]

Too true. I really thought Toby's positive attitude, would preval. I was sure Toby would keep on keeping on. What an awesome individual Toby will always be.

[@musicman76enator]

We lost a music icon and legend. Millions of fans are devastated right now. If you're a fan or listener of country music, you know all about Toby Keith. His songs are well known to so many. The three that stand out for me are "Should've been a Cowboy", "Red Solo Cup", and "How Do You Like Me Now?" The third one listed is one that I remember as the first Toby Keith song I ever listened to as a kid. He also wrote so many memorable ones in his long and historic career. A lot of them reached the top of the Billboard charts. He also collaborated with so many country stars i.e. Blake Shelton, Trace Adkins, Miranda Lambert, and Eric Church. Those collaborations were some of the best. I remember seeing Toby perform at CMA Fest when I lived in Nashville a few years back. His performances were awesome. The whole crowd loved him. Toby leaves a legacy we will most certainly never forget. Rest in Peace, Toby. We will miss you. 🎼🎵🎶🎸

[@Sandy-jc3vv]

Thanks for this interview, he kept an appointment that all of us have and will keep! He said he was ready because of his faith🙏🙏

[@qtluvBilly3]

I never saw him in person, but I will see him in heaven, to God be the glory through our Savior, Jesus Christ. "Well done, good and faithful servant-" the words we long to hear. Praise God Toby's faith has become sight. ❤

[@7018bluegrass]

Your test became your testimony! We will miss you bad.

[@straightup6472]

He will be missed deeply!!❤

[@katherineskrzynecki3347]

He was such a Patriot! A big, loving, down to earth, country man! Such a good, GOOD man! Generous and unselfish! God's got you in His arms... we'll REALLY MISS you! Rest easy Cowboy 🤠!

[@KathyRees-t1h]

Toby was a enormously talented songwriter, singer,, entertainer, friend & much more. He fought a hard fight but is in a better place now. Rest in Peace Toby, Gone but never forgotten.

[@lindapottier1280]

Thank you, Robin.....such a good interwiew. What a blessing to have it for all who love him. "His test became his testimony"....how fitting.

[@caseyarchuleta5513]

Asking the Lord to wrap his arms around Toby Keith's family. Give them strength and comfort in this time of need.

[@Rebecca-hc5ju]

Amen & amen! ❤

[@sallykodesign]

Thank you Toby for being a messenger of God. I think you have touched some of the non-believers because of your strong faith. You live Forever in our hearts ❤️ RIP

[@virginiahobby3726]

Was a very Spiritual interview on both sides. I appreciate that Christ was the theme as he should be. Thank you , it was very inspiring. Youndont.see.many News Casters put their faith out there and it's very refreshing to hear you talk to a Brother in Christ so openly in these times its a true testimony of The Love of God. This is what I will remember about Toby and you Robin. Thank you for an interview I will.always remember with love of our Saviour.

[@tinamcmichael5902]

Thank you Robin for sharing. I know he is at peace and he will not lose his just reward. His testimony will live on for others. Rest in Peace Toby Keith 💙❤🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@AtlantisIndigo]

It was one of the greatest interviews of Toby. Thank you for sharing it! And thank Toby for all of who he was.

[@georgiaschmidt8092]

I never went to a concert of Toby’s, but I knew his songs. I was listening one day to my country channel, & I thought “ it’s been so long since I’ve heard Toby Keith.” next thing I knew they were talking about he had stomach cancer. I could not believe it…I’m like, OMG…he just stuck with me all the time, wondering how he was doing. It was like we really knew each other, but not really. When I heard he passed, I cried, just like I am, now writing this. It’s just so hard to believe. What an icon, legend , artist, miracle worker for all those children with cancer, and such a big believer in our Lord God above. Robin you did such an AMAZING job on that interview., & it will always stick with me. I’ve always believed in Our Lord God Almighty & like Toby said, it’s not what you say, what you do, it’s what you believe in, is what is going to save you, & to go to that special place. Thinking of Toby‘s family at this difficult time. Toby is now where he is living in peace and no more pain.

[@TheMelaniebarber1]

Robin, what a great interview, you are the best! Toby, such a strong person. I hope that he found a way for his cancer foundation to keep going before he died. Praying it will continue on.

[@sandydaniels2668]

Robin Marsh you did a wonderful job doing this interview and we thank you for that.

[@kellyketcham1101]

Lovely Robin with respect, depth and caring. He gave YOU very special attention and time and he didn’t have to. I KNOW you will carry his love and the torch on. Feel your FAITH and carry it forward!!

[@matthewmelton7831]

A lot of Love from Nashville. Thank You brother for being a role model for so many and even warriors are needed in heaven. My prayers r with Toby but has quickly shifted to his family. I ask God to love on his family, show them Toby is still very much with us in spirit being on right side of his end. If I may say to those still crying as I am, know he's experiencing something alot of humans unfortunately won't because people refuse to change their ways. I love you brother

[@lindaclements4172]

Prayers for Toby Keith’s family and loved ones. He was such a special man. RIP

[@denniswilliams2385]

I am so sorry that such a great man who spent so much time and effort attempting to make other peoples lives better, had to struggle and suffer during the last three years of his life. What a tragic loss to not only the world of music but to mankind in general. May God greatly bless and comfort his family.

[@zerocool1344]

He contributed immensely to our community of warriors. I wish we could have done more in return for him. Rest in peace, Toby; your music has become a part of our legacy, particularly during the war. As future generations study the Iraq war in history books, your contributions, sir, will undoubtedly be remembered. Peace be with you sir... & your family... you're with the Lord.

[@emptychair8141]

Bye Toby ☹️ You will be terribly missed !!! Watched this happen to my big strong full of life daddy !! Pray you all are at rest now !

I just heard just now and am shock I haven't even heard or seen anything today since I'm just outside of Nashville. He was one of my favorites, my first country concert in 2005. I'm completely shocked and grateful for him to no longer be in pain and suffering. To know you were one of the last people to meet with him before he passed will be with your legacy forever.

A true artist, true to his music, RIP big dog, red solo cups up for one of the greatest

[@zacheryspencer]

It makes me so sad he had to struggle with cancer.. he looked nothing like his former self, but it sounds like he was a Christian and he always had God with him so looks and material items don’t matter.. it’s truly your faith in God and Jesus that will get you through anything:) And now he’s in Heaven with Them Both:) When I heard he passed away I put my favorite song by him on and just sang and danced around and I felt almost that maybe he could see me and how happy I was celebrating him:) I hope he did get to see me:)

[@jackbrown7341]

I feel for all who suffer cancer, for I myself have been fighting cancer for over five years now using a cannabis treatment instead of chemotherapy and radiation treatments. I believe that saying no to chemotherapy and radiation treatments is God's choice for me.

[@Brad56443]

Thank you for the music and the memories as I grew up over the years..RIP legend 😢

[@wilkinsnl]

The way he died is a lesson. Stomach cancer ain’t easy at all. It’s painful and just a shitty way to go but I had no idea he even had it. One of my favorite interviews I saw was one where he said he came to peace which whatever happened, that the lord would see him through it. I see a lot of people die and waste away, I think if they had faith it would be more comforting and easier.

[@stacykeaghey7025]

My heart goes out to his family My mom died 5 months ago due to stomach Cancer as Well Heartbreaking

[@renacloutier7339]

[@calliecrandall9813]

REST IN PEACE TOBY. MAY GOD KEEP AND BLESS YOU AND MAY YOU FOREVER REST IN GOD'S LOVING ARMS. BLESS AND THANK YOU TOBY. MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO HIS LOVED ONES AND THE FANS AND I SEND MY CONDOLENCES AND MY HEART GOES OUT TO ALL OF YOU. MAY GOD ALWAYS BE WITH ALL OF YOU. I WON'T say that I know exactly how you feel but I can relate. I just lost 2 brothers to cancer and I lost 2 sisters to cancer. If anything they've all taught me about having cancer which is now my life motto "CANCER SUCKS". May almighty god bless and keep toby,his loved ones, and the fans forever in God's protective loving arms.
