Brandon Blackstock’s first wife is speaking out after his tragic death.
Over the weekend, Melissa Ashworth took to Instagram to pay tribute to the late talent manager. She shared a photo of Brandon standing with their two kids, Seth, 18, and Savannah, 23, as well as Savannah’s husband Quentin Lee and their 3-year-old son, Lake. In the next slide, Melissa shared a throwback photo of her and Brandon on their wedding day, though they divorced in 2012. Awww.

In her caption, she wrote:
“On May 29, 1999 I married the man who would become the father of my children. Brandon was full of charm, witt, and just an absolute gentleman who happened to wear cowboy boots, wrangler jeans, and a cowboy hat. He was by far, hands down, the best Daddy and Pa. He loved hard and he fought hard.”
She concluded:
“The best thing Brandon has left for his children is they know where he is. I’ve heard it said, ‘Nothing is lost when you know where it is’ and Brandon is with Jesus his Savior. Savannah, Seth, and our grandchildren are the best parts of who Brandon and I are. Thank you all for your prayers and condolences.”

So heartbreaking.
The same day, Brandon’s son Seth also penned a somber message to his late father and “hero.” Such a tragedy!
After separating from Melissa in 2012, Brandon married Kelly Clarkson a year later and welcomed daughter River in 2014 and son Remington in 2016. His daughter Savannah is also currently expecting another child. We’re sending so much love to the Blackstock family…
