Zack Snyder shared a photo Wednesday night of his daughter, Autumn, standing with Henry Cavill in the full Superman suit.
The Instagram post is set to Allison Crowe’s version of “Hallelujah,” the song that closes out Zack Snyder’s Justice League. The movie ends with the dedication “For Autumn.”
Snyder is asking fans to donate to the family’s team ahead of Saturday’s American Foundation for Suicide Prevention walk in Pasadena.
A Father’s Love For His Daughter
“A father’s love for his daughter never ends, even when her time here does,” Snyder wrote.
“There are no words to describe the heartbreak of losing a child or the emptiness that lasts a lifetime. The years may pass, but the love, the memories, and the longing to have her here with us never fade,” he continued.
Snyder then pointed fans to the family’s donation page.
“If you are able, please consider making a donation to support us as we walk to honor Autumn this Saturday. These donations, no matter how small, help fund life-saving research, suicide prevention education, and support for families who know the unimaginable heartbreak of losing someone they love. The donation link is in my bio,” he wrote.
Snyder closed the post: “Autumn will always be my daughter, our heroic archer. She will always be loved and always be a part of everything I do.”
Autumn Snyder passed away in 2017 at the age of 20, while her father was in post-production on Justice League. Snyder stepped away from the film that spring.
When Zack Snyder’s Justice League arrived on HBO Max in 2021, it ended with a title card reading “For Autumn.”
Team Ironwill Walks Saturday In Pasadena
The family’s team, Team Ironwill (Autumn Snyder), walks in the Out of the Darkness Greater Los Angeles Pasadena Walk this Saturday, November 7, at Central Park in Pasadena.
As of Wednesday night, the team has raised $3,748. Its goal was $500.
“In 2017, our lives were forever changed when we lost our beloved daughter and sister, Autumn,” reads the family’s team page. “Although years have passed, Autumn’s absence is something we feel and carry on a daily basis.”
“We walk for Autumn. We walk for us. We walk for anyone silently struggling. You are not alone. You are never alone,” the page continues, signed by the Snyder family.
Donations to the team can be made through the family’s AFSP page. All donations benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available. Call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
