Pat Finn, known for his work on “The Middle” and “The George Wendt Show,” has died. He was 60.

TMZ has reported that the actor died at his home in Los Angeles, surrounded by his family. He succumbed to a long struggle with bladder cancer. He leaves behind his wife, Donna, whom he met in college in 1990. He is also survived by their three kids, Ryan, Caitlin and Cassidy.

Brian Stack, a fellow comedian and writer for “The Colbert Show,” took to X to mourn Finn's demise:

“Heartbroken that our dear friend, Pat Finn, passed away,” he wrote. “As kind as he was brilliantly hilarious," he added, paired with a video of Finn playing with his daughter in his former Chicago apartment.

Pat Finn's life and legacy explored as tributes trickle in:

A representative for Finn told the New York Post in a statement:

“It is with profound sadness and grief that the Finn family announces the passing of beloved comedic actor, Pat Finn. In 2022, Pat battled bladder cancer, went into remission, but the cancer returned and metastasized. He was a warrior in every sense of the word."

Jeff Dye, another comedian, also took to X to mourn Finn's demise in a statement:

“I don’t like to be the guy who post pics with celebrities that pass. But this guy wasn’t just a celebrity to me. He was a friend,” Dye, 42, wrote. “One of the best dudes I knew with a PERFECT sense of humor. I love you Pat Finn and I’ll see again in the after, we can sing together and shake our heads about all the meannes in the used to be.”

Pat Finn was born in Evanston, Illinois. He attended Marquette University, which is where he became friends with the late SNL star Chris Farley. The two even lived together in Chicago. Finn appeared on several shows in the '90s, including “Murphy Brown,” “The Drew Carey Show” and “That ’70s Show.”

Some of his other TV credits include “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody,” “House,” “Marvin Marvin,” “2 Broke Girls” and “The Goldbergs.” Back in 2022, he reflected on his career during a conversation with Phoenix when he said:

“I always say, if you were to tell me as a college kid or high school kid I’d be living in LA, driving to the beach, surfing with my son, I’d think you were crazy. I don’t know how I fell into it. I feel so fortunate, and it fits. It feels right.”
