The death of talent manager and producer Brandon Blackstock, Kelly Clarkson's ex-husband, is shining a spotlight on melanoma, the type of skin cancer he had.

Reba McEntire is honoring her stepson Brandon Blackstock following the news of his death. About a week after his family revealed he died, McEntire took to Instagram to share some kind words about Blackstock.

Brandon Blackstock is remembered as a "devoted father" whose four kids will "always be his greatest love" in his obituary. The talent manager is dad to daughters River and Savannah and sons Remington and Seth.

Kelly Clarkson is taking time away from The Voice to mourn the loss of her ex-husband, who died of cancer. Brandon Blackstock died earlier this month of natural causes as a result of melanoma, a form of skin cancer. Natural causes were cited as the manner of death.
