Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayBen and Casey Affleck’s father, Timothy “Tim” Byers Affleck, died earlier this year.
Casey, 51, revealed the sad news Tuesday during a press conference for his movie “Company” at the 2026 Venice International Film Festival.
“It’s dedicated to my parents because I lost both my mom and my dad this year, and they were very important to me,” Casey — who directed, co-wrote and stars in the film — shared while speaking on a panel.
It’s unclear exactly when Tim — born March 21, 1950 — died, and reps for the Affleck brothers did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
Casey Affleck (pictured Tuesday in Venice, Italy) revealed his and Ben Affleck’s father, Timothy “Tim” Byers Affleck, died earlier this year. BACKGRID“I really wanted to show this movie to them, and I didn’t get to,” Casey lamented during his short speech. “I think they would have liked it.”
His and Ben’s mother, Christopher “Chris” Anne Affleck, died in June at age 83 following a six-month battle with pancreatic cancer.
Casey’s sons — Indiana Affleck, 22, and Atticus Affleck, 18, whom he shares with his ex-wife,
Summer Phoenix — also appear in “Company.”
“The good thing about being an artist, the best thing maybe, is that you can take all of the hardest experiences in your life and put it into your work, and it just makes you better,” the father of two marveled during the presser.
“If you’re willing to face it all, be honest about it all and show up vulnerably with those feelings and allow for the fact that you might not be able to really fully understand them, but you’re willing to put them into what you’re making, it’s a blessing.”
Tim — who held various jobs throughout his life, including working as a janitor, an auto mechanic and a bartender — dedicated his later years to recovery after battling alcoholism.
“My father has 30 years of sobriety, and I have a tremendous amount of respect for what that takes and what that means,” Ben, 54, told People in February 2020.
“Part of being an adult is learning that your parents are just people. They’re not perfect. They were just doing their best. As a child, we expect perfection out of our parents.”

Ben, who is currently sober following his own struggles with alcoholism, has credited his dad with showing him that lasting change is possible.
“The most enduring lesson my father taught me is the degree to which it’s possible to change your life and patterns,” the actor-director told the New York Times in September 2000.
“It gives me hope that with the right amount of work and discipline, I can address and remedy some of the things I don’t like very much about myself.”
Casey is also a recovering alcoholic.
The Affleck siblings have previously said that their parents — who divorced around 1984 — encouraged them to involve themselves in the arts while making sure they understood how difficult it would be to succeed in the entertainment industry.
Tim, notably, was an aspiring playwright.
Ben has previously praised his mother for raising him and Casey in Massachusetts post-divorce, admitting he didn’t have much contact with his father — who moved to California after the split — during his teen years.
However, the two reconnected after Tim sought treatment.
“My dad’s a good man,” Ben told Rolling Stone in April 2004. “We have a good relationship.”
