The tribute shared by Axelson Funeral & Cremation Services begins, “Narvel Brandon Blackstock peacefully passed to be with the Lord on the morning of August 7th, 2025, after a brave and courageous 3-year battle with cancer. He was surrounded in his home by his family, who comforted him and lovingly handed him off to his grandparents in heaven, who welcomed him home.”

The obituary includes details of his childhood and move to Nashville, where he “began his career in the music business.”

“He played important roles in shaping the careers of many larger-than-life celebrities and left a lasting impact on everyone who met him,” the tribute shares. “He always had his hand out to pull others up the ladder, to open a door, to make a connection. Many industry insiders have Brandon Blackstock to thank for their opportunities.”

The obituary notes how he left the music industry behind to pursue other passions. “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,” it explains. “He found a homestead and a love in Butte, Montana.”

The tribute shares, “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 obituary also states that “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. To say he was devoted seems cliché,” the tribute explains. “It feels like an overused word, but it is the correct word. He was a devoted father. His four children were and will always be his greatest love and his greatest legacy.”

The obituary adds, “Then came his grandchildren … Lake, Julie, and LouCasey — who is on the way. They made him a ‘Pa’ … and he was born to be a ‘Pa.'”

Blackstock’s son Seth paid tribute to his late father in an August 9 Instagram post.

“I lost my hero yesterday, words can’t describe how proud of you I am on raising me and your 3 other kids,” he wrote. “You were a father, a son, a brother, and most importantly my best friend. You’ll have to watch me grow up from a Birds Eye view now buts that’s ok with me.”

Seth continued, “There’s no one else on this earth that I would want to be my dad because no one can be half the man you were to me. I’ll see you everyday when the sun rises and falls. I can confidently say all the deer and elk took a sigh of relief when the best hunter I’ve ever known laid his rifle down for the last time. I love you so much and can’t wait to throw a line in the water with you again.”

He added, “Love you dad. Be good or good at it — love your son Seth.”
