Sadly Ryan Reynolds' father James C. Reynolds, has passed away.
Ryan posted a touching tribute on his Twitter early today with a throwback photo of himself as a baby being held by James.
The 39 year old actor, who revealed last year that his dad was battling with Parkinson's disease for 20 years, captioned his shot: "RIP Pops. James C. Reynolds. 1941-2015."

Ryan was so close to his father, he and wife Blake Lively named their now nine-month-old daughter James, after him.
Last year, Ryan opened up about his father, telling Time magazine: "He was the toughest man alive: a former cop, former boxer and full-time landmine. He worked tirelessly to provide for his family and in return, you were expected to do what he said, often before he said it.
"In a word, he was scary. Not because he was sadistic or physically abusive. He was scary because he was one of those people with an energetic weight to him."
He teased: "Shifting his weight ever so slightly from one foot to another could transform an otherwise delightful 6th birthday party into what felt like an Irish funeral."
James is survived by his wife, Tammy Reynolds and their four sons.
Our thoughts are with Ryan and his family at this time.
