While Clarkson wasn’t mentioned in the obit, her children, whom she shared with Blackstock, were. The duo shared daughter River Rose, 11 and son Remington, 9. The Texas native also left behind two adult children from his first marriage to ex-wife Melissa Ashworth.
“Never did his star shine brighter than in his role as a father. Nothing mattered to Brandon more than his four beautiful children, Savannah, Seth, River, and Remy…He was a devoted father. His four children were and will always be his greatest love and his greatest legacy,” Blackstock’s obit read.
Making sure their children were able to handle their father’s health crisis was paramount to Clarkson.
“When Brandon dealt more and more with his cancer, Kelly’s only goal was to make sure her kids were OK and to let him live his personal life any way he wanted to live it,” the insider said.
The source added: “Kelly knew that Brittney wasn’t going to be a problem with her and her kids; there was never a misunderstanding between them.”
Clarkson has currently put her career on hold to be there for her children in the wake of their dad’s death.
The day before Blackstock’s passing was announced, Clarkson postponed her upcoming Las Vegas residency shows. Following his death, the Fort Worth, Texas, native bowed out of an August 17 benefit concert to raise money for the victims in the deadly July 4 floods in her home state.
