Truett Foster Mckeehan, the oldest son of Chrisitan Rapper TobyMac and his Jamaican wife Amanda Levy, suddenly died on Wednesday, October 23, 2019. Truett was only 21 when he died at his Tennessee home. The sudden death of an aspiring and talented adult, Trunett has left his loving ones in tears.
TobyMac, born as Kevin Michael McKeehan, is a popular American hip hop recording Christian artist who has charted around 20 solo singles on Billboard’s Christian Songs list. TobyMac even has seven Grammy Awards to his name. TobyMac remembers his late son by sharing a screenshot from their last beautiful text exchange.
Who is the son of Christian Rapper TobyMac, Truett Foster Mckeehan?
Truett Foster Mckeehan, 21, was the oldest son of McKeehan family born to Chrisitan Rapper TobyMac and Amanda Levy. Truett was born on September 4, 1998, four years after his parents married. Truett was the oldest brother to his four younger siblings: Leo Mckeehan, Judah Mckeehan and adopted twins Moses & Marlee.
Truett always had a soft spot for God, he was a cookie-cutter Christian who fought to keep believing in God. Mckeehan was a true artist who had already started his career in the music industry as his father, TobyMac.
Mckeehan didn’t want to be a child star(which he could be easy), he always wanted to present himself as a man with scars and a story to tell. His parents admired, respected and encouraged his stand for his dream.
Truett expressed himself through the music that he wrote, recorded, produced, mixed, and designed himself. McKeehan even had released music on various platforms under the names “TRU”, “Shiloh” and “Truett Foster”. He also had joined forces with his father on several tracks as well. Truett even had performed his first and the very last show concert at the Factory in Franklin, Tennessee last Thursday, October 17, 2019, which was nothing short of electric.
The age of 21 was just the perfect age for Mckeehan to start his career as a man. Mckeehan moved to L.A. to pursue his dreams in the music career. However, his dream to be a successful artist as a man remained always a dream, such a dream which couldn’t be fulfilled now.
