Although Jennifer Garner has admitted in numerous interviews that she came from humble beginnings, she was incredibly proud of her father’s work ethic.
In September 2022, Jennifer gave her fans a rundown of her father’s accomplishments on his birthday. “Happy birthday. Billy Jack Garner…” posted Jennifer to Instagram. “Eagle Scout. @tamu Corps Cadet and Ross Volunteer. Class of 1960. Union Carbide Chemical Engineer for close to 40 years. Beloved member of Christ Church United Methodist for 47 years. Adored father to my sisters and me for 53 years…” Jennifer also revealed that she and her sisters were daddy’s girls. “We have the OG Girl Dad — the best Granddad out there, the ultimate problem solver and world class hugger,” added Jennifer. “We are so proud to be yours, Dad. We celebrate you every day and love you.”
Fittingly, Jennifer’s last birthday post for her father was just as heartwarming as her announcement. Although Jennifer rarely posts family photos, she included photos of William during various stages of his life, and spoke on behalf of her sisters. “Billy Jack Garner is 85 today. We love you, Dad,” Jennifer wrote on Instagram. “We love that you are our first call when life throws a curve ball, the guy we hunt down to open stubborn jars, and our favorite hug.” She added, “We love that you mow the lawn in the dark and always have enough change in your pockets for ice cream… We are so so lucky to be your girls.”
