Actor Jennifer Garner's father William John Garner has died. He was 85.

Jennifer shared the news of her father's passing in an Instagram post on Monday. No cause of death was disclosed.

William John Garner, who worked as a chemical engineer for Union Carbide, died over the Easter weekend.

바카라My dad passed peacefully Saturday afternoon. We were with him, singing Amazing Grace as he left us (did we carry him across or scare him away바카라 valid question.)

바카라While 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. Today is for gratitude,바카라 Jennifer wrote alongside a throwback photo of the father-daughter pair.

The 51-year-old actor said she and her family are grateful for her father's gentle demeanour and quiet strength.

바카라For how he teased with a mischievous smile, and for the way he invented the role of all in, ever patient girl dad. We are grateful for his work ethic, leadership and faith,바카라 she added.

Garner also thanked West Virginia's Charleston Area Medical Center and City of Hope for their medical care of William John, which she noted 바카라extended Dad바카라s life and gave him time to be in his favorite spots바카라 surrounded by daughters and grandchildren, cheering for his beloved Aggies, captaining a boat, and바카라 most of all바카라next to his wife of 59 years, our Mom.바카라

바카라There is so much to say about my dad바카라 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,바카라 she said.
