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.
![Truett Foster Mckeehan had joy that took the room when he entered. He was a magnetic son and brother and friend. If you met him, you knew him, you remembered him. His smile, his laugh, the encouragement he offered with words or even without. He had an untamable grand personality and dreams to match. And he hated being put in a box.
He expressed himself through the music he made. And by made I mean, written, recorded, produced, mixed, and designed the art. All of it. A true artist. His first show was a week ago, and it was nothing short of electric. Everyone felt it, everyone knew it. He could’ve easily taken the easy route and put music out when he was 12, 14, 16, even 18, but he always said he wanted to live some life and have something to say before he did it. He didn’t want to be a child star, he wanted to be a man with scars and a story to tell. I always admired, respected and encouraged that stand.
Truett always had a soft spot for God. 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.
My last moment with Truett in person was at his first show this past Thursday at the Factory in Franklin, Tennessee. I had to leave the next morning very early to fly and start our Canadian tour. As I stood in the audience and watched my son bring joy to a room, I was as proud as a “pop” (as tru called me) could be. It was the culminating moment of a dream that he had since he was 12. It couldn’t have been sweeter. Our music, and what we say lyrically couldn’t be more different, but the outcome was much the same… offering a room full of people a few minutes of joy in a crazy world. Our last text exchange is shared above (swipe). My wife and I would want the world to know this...
We don’t follow God because we have some sort of under-the-table deal with Him, like, we’ll follow you if you bless us. We follow God because we love Him. It’s our honor.
He is the God of the hills and the valleys.
And He is beautiful above all things. Toby Mac's so Truett McKeehan Dead](https://wikiodin.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Truett-Foster-Mckeehan-TobyMacs-Son-Dead-Who-is-Christian-Rapper-TobyMacs-21-year-old-son-Truett-Foster-Mckeehan-dies-at-home.png)
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.
