Truett was only 21 years of age and was an up-and-coming aspiring rapper just like his father. TobyMac released a song about his son entitled “21 years”, the chorus of the song reads “God has you in heaven, but I have you in my heart.”
On TobyMac’s Instagram page he said of Kristen’s passing that “She was met at heaven’s gates by Truett (who adored her) and our dad (who she drove crazy :). There will be a hole in our family’s heart forever, but heaven just got wonder woman.”
TobyMac described Kristen as a “force of nature”:
Just over a week ago this world lost a beautiful sister, daughter, friend and mother of 6.
My sister.
Our Kristen
Our force of nature,
get it done,
always laughing,
fight for her family,
against all odds,
proud of her loved ones,
God loving,
crazy “aunting”,
amazing hosting,
do anything for her kids,
friend to all….sister.
She was tough as nails and soft as butter. She always looked beautiful and let you know that you were too. She’s loved by God and our King Jesus paid her debt…..in full.
She was met at heaven’s gates by Truett (who adored her) and our dad (who she drove crazy :). There will be a hole in our family’s heart forever, but heaven just got wonder woman.
