When he left this earth, God took him to his eternal home. It costs nothing to be a decent human, and he was a good man.

He never forgot where he came from what an artist of life God Rest his Soul

[@myrastroud6551]

A beautiful singer, songwriter and above all a wonderful human, thank you Toby for your great tribute to society.

[@Jennifer-me7mu]

God took a good one. We need more like Toby here on earth, now more than ever! He was a true Patriot & an Awesome singer! R.I.P. Toby 🙏

[@heribertohernandez8803]

Toby was real. If we had more people like him, this world would be a better place. The reason why so many people loved him was because they saw a friend in Toby , not just a great performer. He will be missed!

[@renossnowflake]

Absolutely! He was totally genuine and never pretended to be anything he wasn’t. 😊

[@Homesncooking]

My heart has been broken…I loved his music and even more his big patriotic loving heart…. Best concert I ever saw as he had the entire audience audience screaming USA USA… You will be so missed Cowboy…. You made us all so proud of you…you were one in a zillion!!!

So many wonderful comments about a man who lived his life with God by his side and his love of his country. Thank you for being strong and not hiding your love of both.

[@Gratefulman1965]

I don’t expect you to actually read this but in case you do. My husband was diagnosed with stomach cancer as well in June of 2022. He watched your performance of don’t let the old man in - it has uplifted his spirit. He gets so down sometimes and you have given him hope. He was 280 and it now struggling to get back to 160. Thank you Toby

[@forthosewholovehim]

Bless you- and your husband- and Toby Keith-❤❤❤ #prayfirst

[@janetphillips2875]

My best friend weighed 260 when he was diagnosed with liver and pancreated cancer already in stage 4. Had his mother and 2 brothers had let me care for him, I believe he would have still been here. They moved in and was feeding him garbage to-go food. He stopped eating because he couldnt digest anymore. He went to cranberry juice, then apple juice, then water. He lasted 28 days. There's a show out of Texas called Know The Cause with Doug Kaufman. They really have some good information on there on fighting cancer. God Bless You Guys❤! Prayers for you!❤

[@DonnaKelley-l3j]

I had stage 4 cancer in my lower jaw and under my tongue last year in May 22 and the cancer doctor done reconstruction surgery. He took 3 small pieces of bone in my lower right leg for a new lower jaw and a skin graft of my upper left leg. He did get all the cancer out and so far I'm cancer free. I thank God every day that I'm cancer free.

What a humble honorable man Sir Toby Kieth is.❤

[@debbieengdall2333]

I felt sad hearing Toby say he wishes his dad could have been there. Toby sounds like he was a great supportive father. Wonderful guy, sad he left us way too soon.

[@Whit270]

Toby was a down to earth good guy !!

[@maryannwilliams2149]

Even though I knew he was sick I was still shocked. I didn't want to think about country music and the state of Oklahoma without him. He was and probably will be one of the biggest OU fans and supporter around. He was a fixture on the sidelines and arena. He will be missed!😢

[@tammybailey129]

An amazing singer, songwriter and human!!! A true American patriot and troubadour!!! Broken 💔

He was a real Okie and did us proud. Love you. RIP till later!

[@deborahklinlger8565]

It's February today you lost his battle with stomach cancer. I'm not a country & western music fan but I found respect for you as a husband & dad & grandad today as I stream various vids of u today. A new found respect for ur talent. I sincerely hope you found peace on the other side & let go of the pain dying from cancer. Rip Toby. I know ur family & friends & fans will miss you greatly.🎉😢

[@bnz300]

AMEN🙏

[@kenzierocks1240]

What a kind and classy comment! We see, all too often, commenters who are just so mean spirited towards others, especially celebrities, b/c they’re in the public eye so much. It’s like if they don’t particularly like a certain person’s music, they can’t say anything empathetic, sympathetic, or just anything kind, period. I came to love country music b/c of all the greats from 35+ years ago. I admired, liked, and respected Toby (and not to bad on the 👀with that deep voice to match the big man he was) He was an excellent songwriter/singer and he stuck it out and never gave up and I’m sure it took having a lot of support and sacrifice from his family but the payoff was great! He was unapologetically himself. He seemed like a great family man. Tricia, his wife, already had her daughter Krystal when he met her and adopted her after he/Tricia got married, so he helped raise her as his own. He looked so bad towards the end. It’s heartbreaking to watch a strapping, big man, like Toby waste away. He gave it his all and was probably exhausted and ready to close his eyes and rest in peace. He will be greatly missed.

[@tracylabenski7903]

AMEN

[@DeeDee-q5j]

Toby was, is, and will ALWAYS be the best of the best in country music. He was a man that put his heart and soul into his music, this country and in his family. He is a legend that will never die. My deepest condolences goes out to his family and closest friends. May God help you all through this heartbreaking time. RIP... scratch that, sing loud and proud in heaven ❤
