“Toby inspired millions and I was one of them,” Jelly Roll wrote.
“Toby Keith was a true trailblazer,” Old Dominion said. “Authentic and heartfelt but always with a wink ‘til the end. He was larger than life in so many ways and his music will live on forever! Raising our red solos tonight—you will be missed by so many. Peace.”
Even though I knew about your battle these last few months I still never imagined this day. Anyone who knew you knows what I mean. You were the toughest man I ever met. Thank you brother for being a friend, a hero and an inspiration. There will never be another Toby Keith.

“I am at a loss for words,” William Michael Morgan said. “A true American. A true country artist. I know he is waking up with our Lord now. Prayers for his family.”
“This one hurts,” Austin Burke wrote. “Toby and Garth brought country music through my Arizona radio growing up, and made me fall in love. WE not only lost a Country Music Legend but also an American Hero. His love for America and his love for our great Military is how I know he would want to be remembered.”
