Oklahoma should be proud. He is truly their native son.

[@renossnowflake]

Thank you @turtledad. We in Oklahoma love Toby!!

[@turtle19dad]

Being a veteran I’m just as proud.

Brother, you ain’t kidding! I’m gonna miss this man. They’ll never be another like him! Unwavering support, stayed true to his convictions regardless of what it could have cost him. I don’t cry, but losing him hit me good. So many of his songs are in the soundtrack of my life.

I think the story of him creating and funding the cancer center needs to be shown everywhere so we as fans can continue to support the charity in Toby’s name! He deserves that from the world! Love you Toby. What a hero!

Out of all the celebrities that have ever passed away, Toby Keith's passing has been the most devastating for me. He was and will always be one of my favorite musicians, and his music has brought me so much joy over the years. I can only imagine how hard this loss is for his loved ones, but I know he will be deeply missed by millions of fans around the world.

I sang " You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This ", to a guy, I never met, needless to say, he's my husband today and we've been married 22 years!! Thank you Toby for such a special gift!!

Robin Marsh has to be one of the classiest ladies to ever grace the cameras. Well done ma'am. RIP Toby.

[@Justbeingme971]

I just don’t understand why all the good ones are taken way to early. He did so much for so many and there was so much more he was going to do. The Keith’s deserved to have many many more years together. He had made his mark in the music industry he could have retired anytime he wanted to. He continued to perform for his fans and the organizations who he helped. I don’t know him personally, but God has his passing has hit me hard. I pray his family finds peace with his passing and continues the great things he was doing. RIP Toby Keith.

[@amccar27]

This man will be so missed. I’ve heard some negative things about him but I live right down the road from him and never once saw or heard of him doing anything negative to anyone. He’s done so much for Oklahoma and he will be so missed. A great man

[@joycenesselhauf1220]

I don’t think any other artist passing has hurt me like this. He was special in a way no one else ever will be. His music, his humanity, his compassion. If so many of us are feeling this loss like we are, I can’t imagine the pain his family and friends are feeling.

[@trudimariscal9989]

I feel the same way!! Loved Toby Keith. Been listening to him since his passing. Which totally shocked me! 😢. I am with you in imagining his family, friends and band members!! 💔💔. He is now without pain.. we lost an amazing man!!

[@beckiepatrick6900]

I’m right there with you guys. I’ve never grieved for someone I didn’t know like I have for Toby. My heart is completely broken. He was such an amazing man. I feel so much when he sings, have so many memories connected to his songs. Just a flood of emotions. I pray for his family. There will never be another Toby Keith ❤

[@luannelarson536]

Toby keith you are missed so much . God will take care of you. You are God's angel now.

[@dawncarpenter489]

I’ve rarely been affected by a celebrity’s death as much as I have by Toby’s passing. He was such a talented, giving man.(We happened to share a birthday!) He loved his country and our veterans. Such a HUGE loss!😢 I take comfort in knowing he was a faithful man and he was at peace knowing where he was going!🙏Sincere condolences to his family. He will be missed! Thanks for all the great music Toby!❤️

When I heard the news I cried. Then I continued to cry because I was so proud of him and all he had done in his life for others, expecting nothing in return. I watched so many videos of him with our troops. I saw he had opened the facility in Oklahoma City because he cared. His faith kept him going. God took him home. I miss him and I am a proud Oklahoman and I will continue to miss him until I go to see our Father as he has done.

[@amateurmeteorologistjoshbrown]

This interview is such a gift. Thank you so much, channel 9 and Robin Marsh. No loss of a performer has ever affected me like Toby. He was the whole package. Not just a “singer on stage and records” but a Christian man, a family man, a hero to the kids at the OK Kids Corral, so much to our service men and women all over the world, and then a performer and businessman. I know he had a clothing line and so many businesses that never got attention. But he loved his wife and family, he lived his dream, what a man. God gave us a treasure in this big teddy bear. He just needed him back too soon. Rest in peace, Toby, your music touched me in so many ways at just the right time in my life. You can be a cowboy now with Gene and Roy and sing those duets with Merle and others. Thank you for the memories and for sharing your big heart with us. And thanks to his wife and family for sharing him. Wonderful interview, Robin, God bless you! ❤️

[@pammerle1691]

I seriously have watched this 3 times now...and 3 times as I sat down to watch it, I grabbed my box of tissue...this has hit me like a ton of bricks, I lost my sister, my Best friend in 2016 to cancer...I watched her waste away before my eyes. She had one of the MOST Agressive forms, Small Cell Carcinoma which is Very Aggressive and at this time, always Fatal. She held back on telling me...everyone else knew she was Diagnosed terminal but me as she knew I wasn't strong enough to handle that News. I went and stayed with her the last 41 days of her life. Cancer DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE. No one is exempt...I heard that EVERYONE of us carry the Cancer Gene, it is wheather or not it becomes active. When I found out about Toby, it was like stepping right back into my sisters journey...SO I PRAYED, I PRAYED HARD for Toby and I pray that one day, Cancer will be a thing of the past. I also remember Wayman Tisdale, Toby's DEAR Friend the NBA STAR and his Journey and Ultimately his end...BUT it was "WAYMAN'S SONG" that Toby wrote and recorded then performed for Wayman's Funeral...NOW IT IS PLAYED FOR TOBY HIMSELF. 😢 It is just Heart breaking 💔 to know first hand the pain his family is going through. Rest Easy now Toby, as you went into the Promise Land God made you absolutely PERFECT in body and health for ETERNITY. Your Cancer Free, Sickness Free, and NEVER TO GET SICK AGAIN as the Promise Land HAS NO SICKNESS EVER.
