Jennifer Garner’s note to her father
Jennifer’s father William John Garner died on April 2 at the age of 85. Jennifer shared the news of her father’s death in an Instagram post. No cause of death was revealed. William John Garner, who worked as a chemical engineer for Union Carbide, died over the Easter weekend.
“My dad passed away peacefully on Saturday afternoon. We were with them, singing Amazing Grace when they left us (did we take them with us or scare them away – legitimate question.) While there is no tragedy in the death of an 85-year-old man who lived a healthy, wonderful life, I Know that suffering is inevitable, waiting around unexpected corners. Today is a day for gratitude,” Jennifer wrote alongside a throwback photo of the father-daughter duo.
The 51-year-old actor said he and his family are grateful for his father’s gentle demeanor and quiet strength. “How he teased with a mischievous smile, and the way he always invented the role of the patient girl’s father. We are grateful for his work ethic, leadership and confidence.”
While Ben will next be seen in The Accountant 2, Jennifer will play Elektra in Deadpool and The Wolverine.
