Before he passed, Toby Keith opened up about his final thoughts on marriage to Tricia Lucas—the woman who stood by him from the very beginning. They met when Toby was just a young man chasing dreams, playing music in smoky bars, and working long hours on oil rigs. He had no fame, only grit and heart. Tricia didn’t fall for a star—she fell for the man. What kept them strong was his honesty, humor, and relentless spirit. After being diagnosed with stomach cancer, Toby faced moments of fear, but in his final months, he mostly spoke of one thing: gratitude. Gratitude for Tricia, who cared for him with unwavering love. She became, as he put it, “the best nurse in the world,” never leaving his side. “I write songs to tell stories,” Toby once said, “but no song could ever tell the full story of her.”

His son, Stelen Keith Covel, took up the torch—adding chords, harmonies, and his own vocals to finish what his father began.
