    To the interviewer, thank you so much for interviewing Toby. You did an excellent job!.
  • Why can't our government care about us as much as Toby does for our country... Love ya Toby!!!
  • I was there, serving in Mosul, Iraq 2004, when I saw this wonderful man perform some great music for us. I will always remember how energetic and kind he was to us. He was the ONLY celebrity with the courage to visit us in a warzone while we were being attacked. Everyone else stayed in Kuwait, were there was zero chance of danger. I will always admire this man for his courage. Til Valhalla, Mr. Keith.

    It's so weird listening to him about having made his peace about the outcome. I was also diagnosed with cancer in Fall 2021, like Toby. I am now on my way out to jump is Christ's arms, my savior, my friend. I'm 59 and at peace. I know where I am going. God bless you all. I hope you all turn to Jesus in your life time.

    I am a Black Girl who loved Toby Keith & his music. My heart is broken that he is no longer present on the planet but I can listen to his music anytime. I loved the song he created, & sang “Cryin’ for me” I’m gonna miss you for Wayman Tisdale, who passed away 05/15/09 from cancer. You 2 are together again possibly doing gigs in heaven & catching up.) My deepest condolences to The Keith Family at this most difficult time. May the Peace of God that passes all understanding guard & keep your hearts & minds in Christ Jesus. He is still with you & his fans through his music. Toby will also show up in the sweetest ways when you least expect it, to remind YOU he is always Present because he’s spirit. 😍🙏🏾🤗

    What an inspiration. Only with Jesus will we find that peace that passes all understanding. I know you are with Him now rejoicing in Heaven. No more pain, no more suffering. If you are reading this and you have not accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior it is so simple. Jesus I believe that you died on the cross and rose again. Jesus come make your home inside my heart. Jesus will make his home in you. He said I will never leave you or forsake you. Your life will be forever changed. I am proof of that. Thank you Toby Keith for sharing your faith and I pray many come to Jesus through your testimony. Until we meet in Heaven we are all greater for knowing you.

    You learn a lot by listening to people at the end of life about what’s important in life
  • I know that this will probably never be read. By anyone but Toby hoping you are still checking in on these messages, my youngest son died on December fourth of 2023. He was diagnosed in September with pancreatic cancer. He was going through chemotherapy very aggressive treatments and was still working every day. We had Thanksgiving dinner oh how I love and miss him. He was only Fifty years old. But he caught covid on the last day of his quarantine he became very sick and passed away ththe next day he was my youngest son. So Toby, once again if you can run into him in heaven please tell him his Mum says I love and miss you more than words can ever say. Love you too and both of you rest with Jesus an God our Father.Night night

    I've cried 😭😭 a ton since learning about his passing. I am an American Soldier
  • I don't know how people live in this wicked world without a relationship with GOD the FATHER, GOD the SON and God the HOLY SPIRIT.
  • I am a Toby Keith Warrior. He is my favorite country artist ever. He stands for the American that loves his country, family, friends, the Creator and hard work. He showed the world what it took to be the captain of HIS ship while his time here on earth was granted. I'll forever be grateful for this artist, father, husband, friend, philanthropist and true spirit of American greatness.
  • Just lost my Daddy to pancreatic cancer. He fought until the very end and never lost faith or questioned God. He was a Christian and couldn't wait to get to heaven. I miss him immensely he was my best friend.

    Whst great job this lady did with the interview. She didn't try to steal the show. She let Toby go on and on and this created a real gem.
  • If anyone was ever gonna run up and give Jesus a high-five and a bear hug, it is Toby Keith. RIP. A life well lived. 🙏♥️👑
