Reba McEntire Pays Tribute To Her Late Stepson Brandon Blackstock

On Tuesday (August 12), Reba McEntire took to social media to pay tribute to her former stepson Brandon Blackstock, who passed away from melanoma at age 48 on August 7. McEntire, who was previously married to Brandon’s father Narvel Blackstock from 1989 to 2015 and was still identified as his stepmother in his obituary, posted a heartfelt message alongside a photo carousel filled with pictures of the two of them over the years. “There is no one else like him, and I’m thankful for the time we had together,” McEntire wrote of Blackstock in the caption. “His legacy and laughter will be carried on through his family. Rest in peace cowboy. Happy trails to you til we meet again.” Her son, Shelby, also posted a moving tribute, highlighting Brandon’s impact as a brother, father, and grandfather, and expressing how deeply he will be missed and lovingly remembered, with McEntire commenting on his post, “Very well said Shelby. Yes we will miss him so much.💔💔🙏💔❤️❤️❤️🙏💔.” (People)
