He will always be our Stanford Blatch
We were devastated to wake up to the news that Willie Garson has died at age 57. He is known for his role as fashion icon Stanford Blatch, one of Carrie's best friends, in the
Sex and the City series and subsequent films. He was also filming scenes for the reboot
And Just Like That up until recently.
Garson's son Nathen took to Instagram to share the news of his father's passing. In an
emotional caption he said, "I will always love you, but I think it’s time for you to go on an adventure of your own."

Garson posted on Twitter just two weeks ago to spread a message about love, which speaks to the kind man he was.

Garson acted prolifically, appearing in shows such as
Hawaii Five-0,
White Collar,
Supergirl, and many more. Our condolences go out to his friends and family at this difficult time. We will always remember him for the iconic part he played in the series, and he will be sorely missed.
