TobyMac was the "rapper" white guy in the Christian band DC Talk. I didn't know he had a 21-year-old son.

Prayers up for him & his family!

Indeed, prayers up. Can’t imagine the loss of a child.

Years ago, I occasionally tuned into Christian “rock” radio on Rhapsody. TobyMac’s stuff was pretty cool. And there were others too.

The autopsy and toxicology are done

But not released

21 year olds do not have arteriosclerosis of much significance

He may have had V Tach or Fibrillation suddenly for God knows why or congenital myopathy but he woulda been symptomatic with that

Or something in the toxicology but he sure didn’t give off that vibe and neither does his family

My wife knows them in passing and I drive past their lovely home on Franklin road almost daily

I cannot imagine ...the father and son were close I’m told

So sad.

Truett was the same age as my oldest son. This breaks my heart. I’ve been really encouraged by Toby Mac’s music. Will be praying for all of them.

The use of the word “despite” reflects a misunderstanding of the faithful...

Truett did some rap parts to a few CC songs (Alone by Hollyn, Backseat Driver by TobyMac are examples). Toby’s song Scars Come with Livin’ seems to be written to Truett as well. Suspect there’s a lot we don’t know here.
