"The cause was pancreatic cancer," the obituary reads.
Best known for his role Stanford Blatch in the "Sex and the City" series, the obituary also paid tribute to that work.
"As Stanford Blatch, Carrie Bradshaw's best male friend, Garson was never at a loss for a caustic quip," it reads. "As his role evolved over the course of six seasons, Stanford was not only hilarious, but also vulnerable at times, as he struggled in his own efforts to navigate sex and the city."
