Speaker Charles McCall, R-Atoka, released the following statement regarding the passing of country music superstar and native Oklahoman, Toby Keith:
“Today is a sad day for Oklahoma as we mourn the passing of one of our native sons, Toby Keith. His contributions to Oklahoma go far beyond his music, as he was well known for his philanthropy and giving back to the state he loved so dearly. He helped promote our state both nationally and internationally, and his love for our troops and our country is something we should all seek to emulate. My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. He will be missed.”
