Inside Kelly Clarkson’s ex Brandon Blackstock’s celebration of life attended by his girlfriend Brittney Marie Jones

Brandon Blackstock’s loved ones had an emotional gathering after his tragic death.

Blackstock’s friends and family recently honored the late talent manager at his Montana home following his passing from melanoma at age 48, a source told Us Weekly on Tuesday.

“Brandon’s closest friends and family gathered over the weekend for a few days to celebrate his life in the place he loved most. It was very private,” the source shared.

Blackstock’s partner, Brittney Marie Jones, who used to be his ex-wife Kelly Clarkson’s assistant, was allegedly at the service. It is unclear if Clarkson was in attendance.

“Brittney, his family and his closest friends spent time at his home sharing memories of Brandon and remembering how much he meant to them,” the insider said.

“It was sad and there were tears,” added the source, “but there were also a lot of laughs remembering Brandon’s pranks and sense of humor.”
