Blackstock was married to Clarkson from 2013 to 2020 and had a daughter and son with the singer.
His obituary, released on Tuesday, revealed that was in a relationship with Brittney Marie Jones and that the couple were living together in Montana.
"After more than 20 years in the music business, Brandon found his way back to the mountains and the cowboy way of life he always wanted to live," the obituary read.
"He found a homestead and a love in Butte, Montana."
It continued: "Brandon, along with his beautiful and loving partner in life and business, Brittney Marie Jones, started building a life, building companies, and working tirelessly to create Headwaters Livestock Auction and what will live on as his legacy, The Valley View Rodeo in Bozeman, Montana."
The U.S. Sun previously revealed Brandon ran Valley View Rodeo with Brittney, Kelly Clarkson's former assistant.
The rodeo is described online as a multi-faceted organisation dedicated to keeping the Western lifestyle alive in the modern day.
"From heart-stopping bull riding to lightning-fast barrel racing, Valley View Rodeo showcases the best of both amateur and professional talent," the website reads.

Taylor Swift's economic pull makes orange the new green for big brands
Taylor Swift's upcoming album release and her love of all things orange isn't lost on her fans - or brands that are seeking a ride on what has become an enormous economic tailwind. On Wednesday after Swift went on the 'New Heights' podcast co-hosted by her boyfriend and NFL football star Travis Kelce to announce the imminent release of her 12th studio album 'The Life of a Showgirl,' major companies went into marketing overdrive. The reason? Swift's ability to generate buzz and draw dollars. Swift's tour appearances have become economic events. The singer's Eras Tour two years ago was the first such tour to cross the billion-dollar mark, according to Pollstar's 2023 year-end charts. Cities and their surrounding areas registered a sizeable economic boost after Swift appeared, with thousands of fans making the pilgrimage and spending money at hotels, restaurants and elsewhere. Companies are no longer waiting to capitalize on Swift's gravitational pull and orange-themed memes from big brands began rolling out almost immediately. That is because Swift appeared onstage wearing orange numerous times towards the end of her Eras Tour and she discussed her feelings about the color on the Wednesday podcast. Numerous corporations, from United Airlines to Olive Garden, began posting orange hued memes on their own social media accounts soon after the new album was announced. Shake Shack, FedEx, Buffalo Wild Wings, Cinnabon, Walmart and Netflix did, too. Even X got in on the action, declaring that it had a new profile pic: a glittery orange X. The post hsa garnered 5.5 million views so far. Google is using its search engine to celebrate the October release of Swift's 'The Life of a Showgirl.' Users search for 'Taylor Swift,' are greeted with a stream of orange digital confetti, along with a flaming orange heart and the phrase, 'And, baby, that's show business for you.' Many, it seemed, saw value in tying their brand to Swift. Swift mentioned during the Wednesday podcast that she had Lasik eye surgery. The X account for wasted no time promoting the fortuitous namedrop. 'i got LASIK, i have incredible vision,' they posted, accompanied by a video of Swift giving a shout out to the procedure on the 'New Heights' podcast. 'TAYLOR SWIFT EVERYONE (red heart emoji). WE'VE PEEKED!!!!!!!!' The post currently has more than 389,000 views and 15,000 likes.

Legendary rock band's future is up in the air
Aerosmith 's touring future remains uncertain, with guitarist Joe Perry stating that frontman Steven Tyler is neither interested in nor able to tour. The band retired from touring last year after Tyler suffered a larynx injury in 2023, which made a full recovery impossible. Their 'Peace Out' farewell tour was cancelled after just three dates due to Tyler's vocal health issues. Perry indicated that while a full tour is improbable, there might still be a single Aerosmith show in the future. Despite the touring retirement, bassist Tom Hamilton has previously clarified that the band is 'still alive', dispelling rumours of their complete disbandment.

JD Vance reveals his favorite meme of himself is extremely x-rated
JD Vance has revealed that his favourite meme of himself is 'very inappropriate' but 'very funny'. Appearing on The Katie Miller Podcast on Monday (11 August), the US vice president said the meme he likes the most began circulating after the Pope died. The meme in question features the Pope, Vance's wife Usha, and a couch. A fake passage from Vance's memoir Hillbilly Elegy about having sex with a couch when he was younger circulated during the 2024 election cycle. The meme suggested that if these were Vance's options for the game of "F***, Marry, Kill," then the he would marry Usha, kill the Pope, and f*** the couch. He said the meme was 'pretty good', adding that he hoped someone who was right wing thought of it.
