NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Christian artist TobyMac has recalled the artistry of his 21-year-old son, who was found dead in Nashville, Tennessee, this week.
TobyMac praised Truett Foster Mckeehan as a "magnetic son, brother, and friend" in a statement released Thursday, a day after McKeehan was found dead in a Nashville home.
A representative for TobyMac said Mckeenhan died sometime "Tuesday night or Wednesday morning" and a cause of death has not been determined.
TobyMac has won seven Grammys, both as a solo artist and as a member of the Christian rap/rock group DC Talk.
TobyMac's statement says his son, who was also an artist, had just played his first show a week ago, a dream of his since he was 12. TobyMac said he was a proud father as he could be and recalled his son's smile, his laugh, and his "untamable grand personality."
