Brandon Blackstock’s eldest daughter, Savannah Blackstock Lee, has broken her silence following her father’s death.
The talent manager, who was Kelly Clarkson’s ex-husband, died on Aug. 7 following a yearslong private battle with melanoma, a serious form of skin cancer. He was 48.
On Tuesday, Savannah — who is currently expecting her second child — mourned the loss of her “biggest cheerleader” in a heartfelt message.
“My daddy never fell short of making my dreams come true,” the 23-year-old wrote on Instagram.
“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. Worldwide he was there, my biggest cheerleader. He is my best friend, my voice of reason, and my favorite phone call every day.”
Savannah said that over the past six months, her dad had “gifted” her a “new avenue of [their] relationship, and that was a relationship centered in Jesus.”
“He always loved the Lord, but 6 months ago he sought the Lord,” she wrote. “He was hungry for the word and we did it together.”
“He’s gifted me more than I could’ve asked for and deserved throughout my life, but 12 days ago he blessed me the most valuable gift I could’ve asked for. The gift of knowing where he is today, in Heaven with our Savior.”
She went on, “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.”
Savannah’s heartbreaking post featured several images of her late dad, as well as photos of her siblings and her 3-year-old son, Lake.
Just one month before Blackstock’s death, Savannah revealed news of her pregnancy on social media.
Savannah opened up about her and husband Quentin Lee’s impending arrival on her Instagram account on July 5.
“We’ve been keeping a couple sweet surprises,” she wrote. “One little girl will be making her arrival at the beginning of January.”
“The Lord has been so faithful,” she went on. “He’s written a story we never could’ve imagined, and His kindness in this season has left us in awe. He’s answered prayers we never even knew how to pray.”
In addition to Savannah, Blackstock and his first wife, Melissa Ashworth, also shared son Seth, 19. The duo were married from 2001 to 2012.
Blackstock went on to find love with Clarkson, with whom he had daughter River, 11, and son Remington, 9.
The pair were married from 2013 until Clarkson filed for divorce in 2020. Their union ended with a contentious legal battle that saw the pair fight over finances, custody and property.
