Last year, the rapper released a song about his son Truett called “Scars” that talked about how his relationship with his son had changed since the eldest McKeehan child left home. In lyrics that are now heartbreaking to hear after his son’s death TobyMac rapped, “Now you won’t take my phone calls, You won’t text me back at all, I just wanna see you, I can’t stand to see you gone.”
Truett Foster McKeehan was also an aspiring musician, and had recorded under the names Shiloh, truDog, and TRU in the past. He had also collaborated with his father on several TobyMac albums.
Truett leaves behind his mother, father and three younger siblings.
