Jennifer Garner Mourns Death of Dad William at 85: He 'Passed Peacefully'

The actress shared a message of gratitude for her father's life and legacy on Instagram.

"We were with him, singing Amazing Grace as he left us (did we carry him across or scare him away— valid question)," she shared in Instagram, alongside a collage of family photos. "While there is no tragedy in the death of an 85 year old man who lived a healthy, wonderful life, I know grief is unavoidable, waiting around unexpected corners." Your care extended Dad’s life and gave him time to be in his favorite spots— surrounded by daughters and grandchildren, cheering for his beloved Aggies, captaining a boat, and— most of all—next to his wife of 59 years, our Mom."
