Willie Garson’s Son Shared a Heartbreaking Look at How Much His Dad’s Love Meant to Him

Longtime fans, cast mates, and crew members of Sex and The City were shocked yesterday when news of actor Willie Garson’s death became public. The beloved actor passed away at the age of 57, following a towering career that included credits in TV series such as Hawaii Five-0, White Collar, and NYPD Blue. Among the emotional, heartfelt tributes that came following Garson’s death, none were as touching as the one shared by his son, Nathen.

“I love you so much papa,” Nathen began the caption to his Instagram tribute, which featured three photos of Garson. The first image was taken while the actor stood atop some rocks looking out at the ocean; the second featured Garson seemingly hiding behind a sign; a third addition was a video showing Garson playing the trombone; and the fourth image showed Garson walking through a field of yellow flowers. “Rest In Peace and I’m so glad you got to share all your adventures with me and were able to accomplish so much,” Nathen’s caption continued.
