Christian artist TobyMac shared a lengthy social media post, thanking friends, family, fans and God for an outpouring of love and support following the shocking death of his son Truett Foster McKeehan. He also shared a few photos from his son’s funeral and burial service, in which friends wearing red hoodies with Truett’s stage name “Shiloh” served as pallbearers.
“We still don’t quite know which end is up but we do KNOW we are loved,” TobyMac wrote. “As we mourn our firstborn son, God has poured out His love us through people.”
