Toby Keith took pride in being a family man: 'I have great kids'
Aside from being a country track celebrity, Toby Keith was a proud family man.
"I was raised by good parents and I have great kids," the "Who's Your Daddy" singer, whose complete name is Toby Keith Covel, told People in a 2010 interview.
"They all grew up with me being successful, but they are not hooked on that part of the business," he added.
Keith, who died Monday on the age of 62, used to be married to Tricia Lucus for just about Forty years. The couple wed March 24, 1984, and was folks of 3 children: daughters Shelley and Krystal, and son Stelen.
When Keith announced in June 2022 that he had been diagnosed with abdomen most cancers in the autumn of 2021, he wrote that he was taking a damage from his public life and "looking forward to spending this time with my family."

"He has been my lCON since day 1 and in the last 6 months he has been honored with not one but 2 Icon Awards for the work he dedicated his life to. I love that he is getting recognition as not just MY icon, but an Icon to the music industry and fans," she wrote.
"Most people know he is a country singer, but what you may not know is he is also one of the most prolific songwriters in the world, not just country music and isn't writing for other artists," she endured. "If you took the time to learn his stats they would blow you're mind. He has written all but a handful of the hundreds of songs he has put out in the last 30 years with over 69 radio singles 65 of which charted- that's UNHEARD OF let alone 30 of them being number ones with many more top 5 and top 10 hits."
She added, "He stuck to his guns and created a legendary, ICONIC career against all odds and wading through every kind of NO. I could not be more proud and in awe of him ❤️❤️❤️."
