Christian rapper TobyMac’s oldest son, Truett McKeehan, has died suddenly, a representative confirmed Thursday morning.
“Truett did pass away at home in the Nashville area sometime Tuesday night or Wednesday morning,” said the rep.
Though details surrounding the 21-year-old’s untimely death have yet to be released, TobyMac has provided an emotional statement to the USA Today Network (Tennessee) regarding his son.
The grieving father reflected fondly on Truett’s “magnetic” and “untamable grand personality” as well as his passion for God.
“Truett always had a soft spot for God,” he wrote. “The Bible moved him. His heart was warm to the things of his King. He was by no means a cookie-cutter Christian but give me a believer who fights to keep believing. Give me a broken man who recognizes his need for a Savior every time. That’s who Truett was and how he should be remembered.”
Music was also one of Truett’s great loves, and he expressed himself through the music he made.
