Savannah Blackstock, the daughter of the late Brandon Blackstock, expresses gratitude towards his partner Brittney Jones for continuing to bring his dreams to life. Blackstock, who tragically passed away at the age of 48 in August, had founded the Headwaters Livestock Auction at Valley View Rodeo in Montana just two years before his untimely death.
The rodeo recently hosted a holiday event on December 6, and Savannah took to her Instagram Stories on December 7 to celebrate the success of the event and commend Jones for upholding Blackstock’s legacy. She mentioned how her father’s main goal was to unite the community, and she expressed her regret at not being able to witness the event in person. However, she acknowledged that it was a magical experience that would have made her father proud of his team.
Jones, described in Blackstock’s obituary as his “beautiful and loving partner in life and business,” played a significant role in their shared ventures. Together, they built a life and various companies, including the Headwaters Livestock Auction and the Valley View Rodeo in Bozeman, Montana, which will stand as Blackstock’s lasting legacy.
In a recent message posted online detailing the Christmas event on December 6, Jones shared the heartbreaking news of Blackstock’s passing after bravely battling cancer. She expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support, condolences, and donations to the MSGA Brandon Blackstock Memorial Fund, intended to support youth in agriculture.
Despite the devastating loss, Jones reassured the community that the team at Headwaters Livestock Auction remains fully committed to upholding Blackstock’s vision and ensuring a successful fall run for local producers. She emphasized their dedication to continuing the work that Blackstock had started and the importance of preserving his legacy.
Blackstock’s passing in August left many grieving, including his former stepmother Reba McEntire, who fondly recalled their time together. McEntire described the special bond they shared and how Blackstock, known for his sense of humour and love of life, brought joy to everyone he encountered. She expressed deep sorrow at the loss and highlighted the lasting impact Blackstock had on those around him.
As Savannah Blackstock continues to honour her father’s memory and recognise Jones for her dedication, the community stands united in preserving the legacy that Brandon Blackstock worked tirelessly to build. Jones’s commitment to realising his dreams serves as a testament to the enduring impact of Blackstock’s vision and the spirit of unity that he instilled in his community.
