Treat Williams’ death was heartbreaking for his family, friends, and fans. Barbara Niven took to Instagram to share an emotional tribute to Williams following his death.
In the caption, Niven said, “What a shock to hear that my dear friend and coworker Treat Williams has died. Such an unexpected and immense loss.” She sent her condolences to Treat’s family and spoke more about the kind of person he was, adding: “He loved his craft and it was an honor to spend six years with him on Chesapeake Shores. He truly was the patriarch of our family, both on and off the set. And he made it so much fun.”
Niven also commended Williams’ acting prowess and his hobby of piloting airplanes. She shared a poem that she loved that reminded her of Williams — John Gillespie Magee’s “High Flight” — and referenced a line from the poem when she said: “I always asked Treat, is that what it feels like? Did you touch God today? I think that’s what he is doing right now.” Many people left kind, supportive messages on Niven’s post and expressed their own heartbreak at the news.
