Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds has made a sad announcement to his fans, that his father James “Jim” Reynolds has passed away after a long battle with Parkinson’s.

The 39-year-old actor shared the bad news via Twitter, asking fans to make a donation to the Michael J Fox Foundation which aids Parkinson’s disease research, reported Aceshowbiz.

“RIP Pops. James C Reynolds. 1941-2015. If possible, please donate/support,” he said.

Jim had been suffering from Parkinson’s disease since 1993. Back in 2008, Reynolds wrote a lengthy essay for the Huffington Post about his father’s battle with the disease.

“I’ve watched my father – a strong and proud person who successfully raised 4 arguably insane children – slowly, cruelly stripped of his independence. Witnessing him suffer over the years galvanized my need to step up,” he wrote at that time.

He agreed to run the New York City Marathon for Fox’s foundation. He raised money for the cause and finished the race in 3 hours, 50 minutes. He subsequently becomes a board member for the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
