Jennifer Garner's father, William John Garner, has died. She announced his death in a touching Instagram post this week, sharing pictures of them throughout her life, including when they filmed a Capital One commercial together in 2016. "My dad passed peacefully Saturday afternoon. We were with him, singing 'Amazing Grace' as he left us (did we carry him across or scare him away — valid question)," Garner began her tribute.

"Happy 59th anniversary to my incredibly sweet and loving parents. Thank you, Mom and Dad, for giving my sisters and me such a secure, happy start to life," she captioned the post.
"There is so much to say about my dad — my sisters and I will never be done talking about how wonderful he was, so bear with us — but for today I share these memories with my appreciation for the kind and brilliant man, father, and grandfather he was, as well as the loving legacy he left behind," she ended the post.
