Toby Keith's daughter Krystal shares emotional tribute: 'I am so lucky to have had him'

Krystal Keith, Toby Keith's daughter, shared an emotional social media post about her late father on Friday.

Krystal follows in her father's footsteps as a country artist, and in the post, she called Toby her "hero." She wrote as great as Toby's career was, he was an even greater father.

Toby died Monday, Feb. 5, at the age of 62 after a multiyear battle with stomach cancer.

"I am so lucky to have had him and so grateful he got to walk me down the aisle and meet my babies," Krystal wrote. "That I have years of memories traveling the world as a family."

She wrote she's blessed to have spent years traveling on the road and singing on stage with her father.

"This amount of people and networks honoring him is a reminder that he wasn't just ours. He was the world's" Krystal wrote. "He is a gift that we were, as a family, able to offer the world and he did not squander our sacrifice of time with him."

She added that he did so much for people, and didn't want recognition for good deeds.

He lived with Jesus so he could go on with Jesus, Krystal wrote, which is the cherry on top of the life he lived.

Krystal wrote she'll forever honor her father.

"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 to deeply by him," Krystal wrote. "He never made me wonder if he would be there for me."
