Brandon Blackstock's "soulmate" Brittney Marie Jones, identified in Blackstock's obituary as his "loving partner in life and business," previously worked as Kelly Clarkson's production assistant.

"Yesterday we lost a good man Brandon Blackstock my daughter's soulmate and I considered him my son," he wrote in the Facebook post.

The obituary, which describes Jones as Blackstock’s “beautiful and loving partner in life and business,” does not mention Clarkson.
