It’s been a rough few years for Jennifer Garner, especially with the divorce from Ben Affleck, but this was a real trag,edy…
William Garner, the 85-year-old father of Jennifer Garner, passed away “peacefully” on Saturday. Jennifer is in grief.
The 51-year-old Suddenly 30 actress said on Instagram, “We were with him, singing ‘Amazing Grace’ as he left us (did we carry him across or scare him away — valid question),”
“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.”
Garner expressed “gratitude” for her father’s “gentle demeanor and quiet strength” in her reflections on his life, despite his passing.
“For how he teased with a mischievous smile, and for the way he invented the role of all in, ever patient girl dad,” she continued. “We are grateful for his work ethic, leadership and faith.”
She also expressed her gratitude to the medical staff that attended to her father during his last few months of life.
