Garson was born February 20, 1964. He is most well-known for his work on Hawaii Five-0 and Sex and the City and White Collar.
TMZ reported his death Tuesday morning after Titus Welliver, a Bosch actor, posted the news via Twitter.
“There are no words. I love you dead brother. We are fewer,” Welliver shared the following tweet with a picture of Garson.
His death has been confirmed. The cause of his death is not known yet, but it is believed to be related to a secret fight against cancer.
At this point, it is not known what kind of cancer Garson was suffering from.
Twitter was flooded with tributes to Willie Garson’s death after TMZ reported the story.
Actress Joely Fisher said “Rest easy sweet @WillieGarson …I am so glad I told you I adored you before you left #rip” while Dulé Hill added, “This is heartbreaking. Love you @WillieGarson. You will be sorely missed #RIP#WillieGarson.”
Another fan added: “I am devastated to hear that Willie Garson has died from Cancer. White Collar was an under-appreciated show and he plays such wonderful characters. This last tweet from him says so much.”

Garson wasn’t married but he did adopt his son Nathan (age 19) in 2009. He was seven years old at the time.
Following the news of his father’s death, the teen posted a heartbreaking tribute on Instagram, calling him “the toughest and funniest and smartest person I’ve known.”
Nathan said: “I love you so much papa. Rest in Peace.
“I will always love you, but I think it’s time for you to go on an adventure of your own,” Nathen went on. “You’ll always be with me. Love you more than you will ever know and I’m glad you can be at peace now. You always were the toughest and funniest and smartest person I’ve known. I’m glad you shared your love with me. I’ll never forget it or lose it ❤️😘”
Back in 2020, Garson opened up to Authority Magazine about his road to fatherhood and revealed how it changed him.
Garson explained that he was a narcissist actor. He was the definition of it all. Therefore, he immediately took on the responsibility for taking care someone else’s needs. It’s a very special feeling to be able to say this. It’s a very important job that allows you to grow in many ways. There are many special emotions that come with being a father. I was in my mid-40’s and I was so bored with myself. Nathen made me feel happy and fulfilled my needs.
I had someone to look after and focus on. I gave a child a childhood that he didn’t have. Not only did I get to offer him a childhood, but what’s more? My parents were not very child-friendly so I was fortunate to be able to get another one.
Outside of acting, Garson was also a known adoption advocate and started the You Gotta Believe foundation with a goal “to find youth permanent families so that they have the support system they need to live safely and to their highest potential.”
