Reba McEntire Said Goodbye to Brandon Blackstock and he died of cancer, dies at the age of 48 after a three-year battle
A mother’s pain: “Rest in peace, Cowboy”
American country music legend Reba McEntire has suffered a great loss in her life.
Her stepson, Brandon Blackstock, died on August 7.
He was just 48 years old and had been battling melanoma cancer for the past three years.
Reba, immersed in this grief, has shared her feelings on social media.
Heart-touching tribute
On August 12, Reba shared some photos of Brandon and wrote an emotional message: “Last week, my stepson/eldest son Brandon Blackstock went to be with God … His legacy and laughter will live on through his family.
Rest in peace, Cowboy. Happy trails to you till we meet again.”
A day earlier, she commented on her son Shelby Blackstock’s Instagram tribute, “Yes we will miss him very much” along with a broken heart emoji.
A family’s deep bond
Reba was married to Brandon’s father, Narvel Blackstock, from 1989 to 2015.
Even after the divorce, she maintained a close relationship with Brandon.
For her, Brandon was not just a stepson, but her “oldest son.”
This shows the depth of her pain.
Brandon’s life and family
Brandon was a talent manager and father of four children.
He was also the ex-husband of famous singer Kelly Clarkson.
Kelly even postponed her Las Vegas shows to be with her children during Brandon’s illness.
This shows that despite the separation, the family stood together in difficult times.
Grief of two families
Brandon’s death has left two families mourning – Reba’s family and Kelly Clarkson’s family.
Both are remembering Brandon in their own way and helping his children get through this difficult time.
A legacy that will live on
As Reba said in her post, Brandon’s legacy and laughter will live on through his family.
His children, his fans, and those close to him will cherish his memories.
We stand with Reba McEntire and the entire Blackstock family during this sad time.
Our heartfelt tribute to Brandon. Rest in peace, Cowboy.
