Jennifer Garner recently shared the heartbreaking news that her beloved father passed away peacefully. In an emotional Instagram post, she described the final moments with her dad, as the family gathered around him and sang Amazing Grace. Despite the sadness, Garner found solace in humor, wondering if they “carried him across or scared him away” with their singing.
While Jennifer acknowledges that her father lived a healthy and wonderful life at 85 years old, she acknowledges that grief can come unexpectedly. Yet on this day, she chooses to focus on gratitude. She expresses gratitude for her father’s demeanor, quiet strength, and mischievous smile. She fondly remembers him as the ultimate girl dad, always patient and supportive. She also acknowledges his work ethic, leadership, and faith.
Jennifer Garner takes a moment to thank the medical teams at Charleston Area Medical Center and City of Hope for extending her father’s life. They gave him precious time to spend with his loved ones – surrounded by his daughters and grandchildren, cheering for his beloved Aggies, captaining a boat, and most importantly, by his wife of 59 years.
Garner concludes her tribute by sharing that there are countless more stories to tell about her dad. She and her sisters will continue to cherish the memories of the kind and brilliant man he was, as well as the loving legacy he has left behind.
The outpouring of support and condolences in the comments section touched Garner and her family deeply. Many people shared their own experiences, noting that William Garner sounded a lot like their fathers. The bond between a father and daughter is truly special, and many offered love and prayers to Garner and her family during this difficult time.
