Few country megastars are as decorated, beloved, and honored as Toby Keith. He lived a full, extraordinary life worthy of outlasting eternity itself. When he passed, it shook the foundation of the music industry -- regardless of genre. Toby Keith may not physically be with us anymore. However, his daughter, Krystal, is making sure that Keith continues to be respected as he deserves.

The University of Oklahoma decided to honor the late legend with an honorary degree. Per The Oklahoman, Krystal, an alumnus of the university herself, accepted the degree on her father's behalf.
"His passion started as far back as when he was 12 and 13 years old and worked in the stadium selling Cokes just so he could see the games," Krystal said. "For as long as I can remember, he took us to every bowl game no matter what his work schedule was. And he was on the sidelines of nearly all the different OU sporting events. He bled Crimson and Cream."
Toby Keith was determined to watch his kids attend college, even if he hadn't. Sure enough, all of Toby's children -- Krystal, Shelley Covel Rowland, and Stelen Covel -- are OU royalty.
Toby Keith's Legacy Is Worth Its Weight In Gold
Just an amazingly beautiful Tribute to the Oklahoma Cowboy!! Blessings & Prayers Toby & Family!!
