I am sorry for your loss.
See this Apple support link ➡️ If you forgot the passcode on your iPhone, or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support
Or watch this companion video ⬇️
If he had Find My enabled you will need his Apple ID password to disable Activation Lock after resetting the phone. If you don’t have his password and can’t find it (maybe he wrote it down) then see ➡️ How to request access to a deceased family member's Apple accounts - Apple Support
