Henry Gatz was "Gatsby's" real father.
"Henry C. Gatz: The father of Gatsby, Gatz talks about how great his son had been and how much potential he had. Jay had bought Gatz's house for him in Minnesota in spite of telling Nick that all of his family was dead. Although Gatsby seemed to be the least proud of his homely father, in the end it is this man who comes from halfway across the country to bury his son while Daisy, whom Gatsby had loved for five years, fails to appear"
"Gatsby was born James Gatz on a North Dakota farm, and though he attended college at St. Olaf’s in Minnesota, he dropped out after two weeks, loathing the humiliating janitorial work by means of which he paid his tuition. He worked on Lake Superior the next summer fishing for salmon and digging for clams. One day, he saw a yacht owned by Dan Cody, a wealthy copper mogul, and rowed out to warn him about an impending storm. The grateful Cody took young Gatz, who gave his name as Jay Gatsby, on board his yacht as his personal assistant. Traveling with Cody to the Barbary Coast and the West Indies, Gatsby fell in love with wealth and luxury. Cody was a heavy drinker, and one of Gatsby’s jobs was to look after him during his drunken binges. This gave Gatsby a healthy respect for the dangers of alcohol and convinced him not to become a drinker himself. When Cody died, he left Gatsby $25,000, but Cody’s mistress prevented him from claiming his inheritance. Gatsby then dedicated himself to becoming a wealthy and successful man."
