On the day of his tragic death, Toby Keith shared a haunting message

A great man and a true patriot has finally been put to rest.

Country singer Toby Keith died Monday at the age of 62 after a long battle with stomach cancer.

Just a few days before his death, Toby appeared in a video where he talked about a very special song – and looking back now, it’s hard to handle…

The pain and hassle of all the treatments is over.

Toby Keith, who touched us all with his iconic songs, passed away peacefully on February 5, surrounded by his family. Known as ‘Big Dog Daddy’, the Oklahoma-born singer rode into Nashville with some of the strongest material the city had seen in quite some time.

With his all-American, blue-collar style, he dominated country radio in the 1990s.

Many of us empathized with him and watched him battle against the vile cancer.

He underwent surgeries, chemo, and radiation — but it didn’t help.

During this difficult time, Toby always made sure to keep his fans updated on his condition. Last month, the singer once again talked about his health, in an interview with the NBC affiliate KUSA.

“It’s a lot of dark hallways,” Keith said.
