My interpretation was that the dad died but that's very likely my own biases
Dad is alive.
In Chap. 60 QT describes playing basketball with her dad as a little kid but just being able to toss the ball back and forth, and that later, "he didn't have time."
In Chap. 66, Dad calls and cancels dinner plans on a night when SJ is visiting.
Chap. 104, QT says that her Mom and dad separated when she was young.
So he's not dead, just mostly absent.
