Kristin Davis is grieving the loss of her father.

On November 18, the actress from Sex and the City announced that her father, Tom Atkinson, had passed away after a long struggle of over a decade with Parkinson’s disease.

Kristin posted on Instagram about her father’s passing and the heartfelt gathering we had in accordance with his wishes for a ‘celebration of life.’ The event featured a lovely jazz band and provided insight into Tom’s remarkable life experiences.

The star of “And Just Like That”, who is the mother of two kids, Gemma Rose (11 years old) and Wilson (5 years old), also paid tribute to Tom’s life as a researcher and educator.
