Even though Narvel and Reba actress parted ways a decade ago, McEntire often spoke of Brandon as if he were her own biological son. She is also a stepmom to Narvel’s two other children, as well as a mom to son Shelby Blackstock, who shared his own tribute to Brandon a few days ago.

Reba McEntire is honoring Brandon Blackstock after he died of skin cancer last week. On Tuesday evening, the country icon shared a tribute to her late stepson on Instagram, remembering his "legacy and laughter," and the time they lived together.
