"He was a magnetic son and brother and friend.
"If you met him you knew him, you remembered him. His smile, his laugh, the encouragement he offered with words or even without. He had an untamable grand personality and dreams to match. And he hated being put in a box."
TobyMac continued to describe his son's passions for music and the Bible, noting "Truett always had a soft spot for God."
"He was by no means a cookie cutter Christian but give me a believer who fights to keep believing," he added. "Give me a broken man who recognizes his need for a Savior every time. That’s who Truett was and how he should be remembered."
The rapper also took to Instagram to share a heartfelt statement following the news of his son’s death.
"Cause of death has not been determined," TobyMac’s publicist said in a statement. "Toby was traveling back from Canada and did not get home to be with his family until after midnight last night so there is no statement. We just ask that everyone please be respectful of their privacy during this time and allow them to grieve their loss."
Truett and TobyMac had joined forces for several collaborations. Most recently, the rapper penned “Scars” after his eldest son left home to pursue his dreams.
