“I was perhaps a little young to appreciate the magnitude of Toby’s influence in the music industry when I first met him. He was so gentle and kind. It was such an amazing blessing to perform together in my Christmas special in 2018. That’s something I will cherish forever. He leaves a legacy that my generation is so lucky to draw inspiration from. Rest easy, Toby. My prayers are with his wonderful family.”

Toby was always so kind, supportive, and encouraging to us and other musicians. We’re grateful for the time he poured into us, sharing his story of how he almost gave up on his music career, and how he encouraged us to keep up the fight. We’re honored to have had the opportunity to share the stage with him and send our deepest condolences to his sweet wife Tricia and the entire family.”

What I knew was that he was a patriot and expressed it in his music and conversation. His love for our country. The realization of his mortality. His decision to trust and follow Christ made him more than a cowboy last night. Condolences to Tricia, and his family. RIP, TK”
