Brandon Blackstock, well-known talent manager, was remembered by his loved ones on what would have been his 49th birthday. Sadly, Blackstock passed away in August at the age of 48 after battling melanoma. His daughter, Savannah, and brother, Shelby, commemorated him on December 16, marking four months since his death.
Shelby, aged 35, shared a heartfelt Instagram post with a collection of pictures capturing moments shared with Brandon. In the caption, he expressed, “Happy 49th birthday, Brandon. I think about you every day, and it’s still hard to believe you’re gone.” He reminisced about their special times together and how precious those moments have become in his memory. Shelby acknowledged the void left by Brandon’s absence and ended with, “Happy birthday. I love you and miss you so much!!!”
Shelby and Blackstock share the same father, Narvel Blackstock, with Shelby being the son of Narvel and his ex-wife, country music star Reba McEntire. Additionally, Savannah shared her own touching message on social media, revealing her wish for her unborn daughter to have arrived on her father’s birthday. She expressed her sentiments, “Happy Birthday dad ❤️ I was really hoping my little girl would make an appearance today and share this special day with you, but she’s staying put for now.”
Savannah conveyed her thoughts of missing Brandon and picturing him in a better place, finding solace in the belief that he is now at peace. She acknowledged the stubbornness of her unborn child, humorously linking it to her father. Savannah also highlighted her father’s partner, Brittney Jones, in an Instagram Stories post, recognising Brittney for continuing to uphold Brandon’s aspirations through the Headwaters Livestock Auction.
Just before his passing, Blackstock’s ex-wife, Kelly Clarkson, disclosed his illness to the public. His family announced his peaceful passing, surrounded by loved ones, after a brave battle with cancer that lasted over three years. The family requested privacy during the challenging time, as they shared the news of his departure.
The tributes from Brandon Blackstock’s daughter and brother reflect the enduring impact he had on those closest to him, even in his physical absence. Their words offer a glimpse into the profound loss felt by his family and the legacy he leaves behind in their hearts. Brandon’s memory lives on through the heartfelt messages shared on his birthday, a reminder of the love and light he brought into their lives.
