The 21-year-old daughter of Tim McGraw and Faith Hill used her platform over the weekend to pay tribute to her "cool" uncle Hank, sharing a stylish photo of him with her dad, which was posted on her late grandfather, Tug McGraw's Foundation website.

Tim's dad, the famous baseball star Tug McGraw, passed away from a brain tumor in 2004.

On the website, a poignant quote reads: "It was Tug's wish that others suffering from brain tumors could access more resources to help improve their quality of life..."

Tug was hospitalized with a glioblastoma brain tumor in 2003, and the surgery that was performed to remove it was successful, resulting in initial reports suggesting that his recovery would result in him having many more years left.

Following his death, his son Tim recorded his song, Live Like You Were Dying, which reached Number One on the U.S Billboard country music charts for seven weeks, and was also named as the number one country song of that year by Billboard.

Tim is a devoted family man and often pays tribute to his loved ones both in interviews and on social media. Along with Audrey, he and Faith are also parents to daughters Gracie, 25, and Maggie, 24.

The celebrity couple became empty nesters last year when Audrey left home, and Tim spoke out about the big change in an interview at the time.

He told People: "You're used to getting up in the morning, taking kids to school, going to softball practices and basketball practices and cheerleading practices, and all of a sudden that's gone when your last one leaves."
