However, the singer fulfilled his wish of walking his daughter-in-law down the aisle.
The singer’s son, Stelen Covel, and his wife wrote heartwarming tributes to Toby.
Toby Keith, also known as one of the legendary country singers, died on February 5, 2024. The news was announced on the singer’s official Instagram.
According to the post, the country star died peacefully, surrounded by his family. “He fought his fight with grace and courage,” continued the message. The 62-year-old announced his cancer diagnosis in 2022.
In the post, Toby wrote that he had been diagnosed with stomach cancer in the fall. But he had already been going through chemotherapy and radiation for six months. At the time, things were looking good for the singer, and he was grateful to be spending quality time with his family.
Regardless of his health issues, the country star did not allow his cancer diagnosis to keep him from doing what he loved: music. In June 2023, Toby hosted his annual Toby Keith & Friends Golf Classic event, a two-day celebration that helps raise money for Toby Keith Foundation’s OK Kids Korral. The organization dedicates itself to helping children with cancer who need treatment in Oklahoma City.
