Christian singer and rapper TobyMac’s oldest son, Truett Foster McKeehan, has passed away according to numerous media outlets.
The 21-year-old reportedly died suddenly at his home in the Nashville area, although few details are known at this time.
“Cause of death has not been determined. Toby was traveling back from Canada and did not get home to be with his family until after midnight last night so there is no statement. We just ask that everyone please be respectful of their privacy during this time and allow them to grieve their loss,” a representative told USA Today.
“My last moment with Truett in person was at his first show this past Thursday at the Factory in Franklin, Tennessee,” TobyMac shared. “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.”
TobyMac’s Canadian concert dates in Calgary and Edmonton have been postponed.

The 21-year-old reportedly died suddenly at his home in the Nashville area, although few details are known at this time.
According to CNN, a representative for TobyMac confirmed Truett – who was an aspiring rapper and released songs online under the stage names Truett Foster, truDog, TRU, and Shiloh – died Wednesday at his home near Nashville.
“Cause of death has not been determined. Toby was traveling back from Canada and did not get home to be with his family until after midnight last night so there is no statement. We just ask that everyone please be respectful of their privacy during this time and allow them to grieve their loss,” a representative told USA Today.
TobyMac took to Instagram to share an emotional tribute to his son, writing in part, “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.”View this post on InstagramA post shared by TobyMac (@tobymac) on
