[Music] stellin koville is Toby Keith's youngest child born in 1997 he's also the singer's only son thumbs up this video if you understand how special that Bond can be Stell and sure did late last year Toby opened up to Taste of Country about how his son stell's wedding came just after he was diagnosed with cancer and a month after that my son's fiance doesn't have a father and she asked him if I'd walk her down out my son's wedding and I'm going if I'm like the last guy I ain't going to make it so hell yeah I got scared Toby admitted that in the end he wasn't afraid any longer and I've linked to that video in the description section as well as the corner of this video I get a little choked up reading Toby's son's message to his father it came just a few days after Keith's death at age 62 family might have been the only ones who knew just how close he was to the end quote you are the strongest man I have ever known a fighter a true tit of your industry my guiding star my coach my hero and embodiment of the American Spirit from there stellin proves that while his father was his family's most famous writer he's pretty good with the pen himself the young man Lawns his father as being a great mentor you are a man whose strength prowess and talent could only be trumped by his ability to be a father and husband your impact is forever stamped on the world and on millions of people yet not one person knew you the way I did you are my biggest champion and The Guiding Light In My Darkest times those are really powerful words I have three young boys at home myself and stell's words kind of have me feeling like this little [Music] kid that's Gunner and he was all of us when he heard about Toby Keith's death on February 5th immediately artist reactions came pouring in from Blake Shelton Sammy Hagar Tim mcra Dolly Parton and more I love this Keith's own children were understandably quiet for several days but now two of his three kids have offered thoughts on

to Toby Keith's daughter's response the Keith koville family is planning a private funeral for mid-February a public Memorial will be announced at a later date I love watching this video of Toby and his daughter singing mocking bird at the CMA Awards it was more than 20 years ago but it's such a special daddy daughter moment Crystal has been silent on social media and really she hasn't done much with music in like 5 years it actually sounds like we might not get new music from her anytime soon either in a moment I'll let Toby explain why but first let's get into what she had to say about her father father's passing I am shattered Crystal writes as great as he was in his career he was so much greater as a dad and a husband and a pop pop he was my hero Toby has another daughter named Shelly by the way but as far as we can tell she's not on social media crystal says I am so lucky to have had him and so grateful he got to walk me down the aisle and meet my babies I am lucky I got to say goodbye and tell him what he meant to me crystal then spent a moment showing some gratitude for the tremendous amount of tributes and conversation about about her father's life in music before she admitted she can't watch any of it she recognized his charitable heart and what he meant to the world before sharing more about how she'll grieve I will forever honor him the pain is so unbelievably deep and it feels like I have a literal broken heart but I know that it wouldn't hurt so bad if we didn't love him and get to be loved so deeply by him he never made me wonder if he would be there for me go ahead and take a moment to share your thoughts and prayers for the Toby Keith family in the comments section below we knew Toby Keith As a singer songwriter Entertainer businessman and American Patriot his kids Shelly Crystal and stellin knew him first as Dad and also now as a man who left this world far too soon perhaps one day Crystal will sing about it but not yet Crystal gonna record music again I don't know she's uh she's raising beautiful babies I mean just she's she's a mother she loves to sing but she loves being a mother and she's so busy with those kids they are constantly doing something and when they're asleep they sleep on top of her they're just like puppies around them uh a dog they just they just uh worship her I mentioned it earlier in the video but right here
