Pat Finn, an actor best known for appearing in many hit sitcoms such as \u201cThe Middle\u201d and \u201cSeinfeld,\u201d has died. He was 60.<\/p>\n
Finn died at his home in Los Angeles on Monday night, Dec. 22, the late comedian\u2019s representative confirmed to Entertainment Weekly<\/a> on Wednesday. <\/p>\n \u201cHe was the kindest, most joyful person in any room, and was surrounded by his incredibly close and loving family and friends,\u201d they told the news outlet. <\/p>\n Finn\u2019s daughter Cassidy also confirmed her father\u2019s death in an emotional tribute on social media on Tuesday. <\/p>\n \u201cDad\u2026 you were and are a role model and an inspiration to everyone you met. I tried to think of a word to describe you, but no word could ever do it justice. You are Pat Finn,” she wrote in an Instagram post<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cThe least shocking thing was hearing the nurses say they have never seen so many people show up at a hospital for someone. That was my dad. My life is forever changed because of him. He taught me to be funny, positive, humble, to listen, to always try my best, to love, and to surround myself with the best people,\u201d she continued. \u201cBut most importantly \u2014 you taught me kindness. I\u2019ve never met a single person who had a bad thing to say about my dad. I feel like the luckiest person in the world that I got to call you my dad. Can\u2019t wait to drink an Old Style with you again one day. I love you.” <\/p>\n Finn had been battling cancer \u201con and off\u201d for roughly three years, a GoFundMe<\/a> dedicated to the late actor states. <\/p>\n \u201cThroughout the grueling and painful process that is Pat\u2019s fight against this insidious disease, the family has been a rock of support for each other,\u201d the GoFundMe reads. \u201cPat and Donna have been reluctant to express any need. Nonetheless, it has become apparent that ongoing medical treatment, alternative therapies, and residual financial demands have created significant financial burdens for the family.\u201d<\/p>\n The online campaign has raised more than $119,000 since it was created on Nov. 25. <\/p>\n
