Brandon Blackstock’s daughter, Savannah Blackstock Lee, wrote a touching tribute to her father on Tuesday. Brandon died on Aug. 7 at the age of 48 following a three-year battle with cancer.
“My daddy never fell short of making my dreams come true. No matter how high or how far, he made a way. Not only did he make my dreams come true, he chased them with me,” Savannah wrote on Instagram. “Worldwide he was there, my biggest cheerleader. He is my best friend, my voice of reason, and my favorite phone call every day.”
Savannah opened up about her faith, sharing that over “the past 6 months my dad gifted me a new avenue of our relationship, and that was a relationship centered in Jesus.” She continued, “He always loved the Lord, but 6 months ago he sought the Lord.” Savannah wrote that 12 days ago her father “blessed me the most valuable gift I could’ve asked for,” adding, “The gift of knowing where he is today, in Heaven with our Savior.”
She ended her tribute on a heartfelt note, writing, “I lost a piece of my heart and my favorite Cowboy, but Heaven gained an angel. I’m so thankful for the time I did have and I can’t wait for eternity. I love you daddy and I will miss you indefinitely. Enjoy your ranch up there, God designed it with your heart’s desires in mind.”
In her post, Savannah also included a carousel of photos with her father, including images of Brandon at her wedding and with her son, Lake, and husband, Quentin Lee. A month before her father’s death, Savannah shared that she is expecting another child with Quentin.
Along with Savannah, Brandon also had a son, Seth, from a previous marriage. He later married Kelly Clarkson, with whom they shared two children. Clarkson and Blackstock finalized their divorce in 2022, nine years after tying the knot.
“It is with great sadness that we share the news that Brandon Blackstock has passed away,” Blackstock’s family said in a statement shortly after his death. “He passed away peacefully and was surrounded by family.”
