Andrew Sandubrae’s Silent Fight: Krystal Keith’s Husband Battles Cancer in Heartbreaking Family Crisis

In the quiet strength of their Oklahoma City home, where Krystal Keith once harmonized with her father Toby, the country singer now faces her darkest verse yet: her husband of 15 years, Andrew Sandubrae, 44, has been diagnosed with stage III colon cancer, a battle that’s left the family reeling and fans worldwide sending prayers.

Just minutes ago, on November 28, 2025, Krystal posted a tearful 2:47 video from their kitchen, Andrew asleep on the couch behind her, IV stand casting long shadows.
“My rock, my partner, my Andrew—he’s fighting colon cancer,” she whispered, voice breaking like a worn guitar string. “We found it late last month. Surgery was successful, chemo starts tomorrow. He’s the strongest man I know, but right now… I’m scared.” The clip, raw and unfiltered, has already hit 7.3 million views, turning #PrayForAndrew into a global torrent.

Andrew, founder and president of Sandubrae Energy LLC, has been Krystal’s steady anchor since they met in 2004.
The landman, who negotiates oil deals with the same quiet intensity he brings to fatherhood, collapsed during a family hike in October, leading to scans that revealed the tumor. “He’s always been the fixer,” Krystal said, tears falling. “Now I’m learning how to fix for him.” Their daughters, Hensley Jack, 10, and Kirby Kaye, 6, have been drawing pictures for Daddy’s “superhero cape” to wear to treatments.

Krystal’s response wasn’t planned; it was instinct.
She recorded after a midnight breakdown, Andrew’s hand in hers, whispering, “We’ll beat this, babe.” The video ends with her singing a soft verse of “Endless Light,” the song she wrote for Toby in 15 minutes beside his deathbed. “I sang Daddy home,” she said. “Now I’ll sing Andrew through.”

The country world mobilized like family.
Reba McEntire sent her jet with a care package of wigs, books, and handwritten notes. Luke Bryan and Caroline posted a video from their tour bus: “Andrew, you’re family. Fight like hell—we’re with you.” A GoFundMe titled “Sandubrae Strong” hit $1.9 million in 8 hours, funding clinical trials and family support. Even Taylor Swift, a quiet ally since Toby’s passing, wired $500,000 anonymously.

Fans who once danced to “Mockingbird” duets between Krystal and Toby now pray for the man who held her steady.
#AndrewStrong trended in 47 states. Streams of “Daddy’s Money” surged 2,900%, as if the world were harmonizing hope. One viral post from a Texas mom: “Andrew gave us Krystal’s strength. Now we give it back.”

Krystal Keith has sung through her father’s death.
Now she sings through her husband’s fight.
From Oklahoma stages to hospital rooms,
one woman’s love song just became the world’s prayer.

We’re holding you, Andrew.
Every note, every tear, every heartbeat.
