"Pat Finn never met a stranger - solely future friends he didn't know yet," his relatives said in a statement.

They added that he had "embraced life completely - with happiness and energy".

A Prolific Career on Screen

His initial on-screen part was on a show starring George Wendt in the mid-90s, where he played the lead character's sibling.

He was also seen in a repeating character on Murphy Brown from 1995 to 1997.

Beyond the Screen

Away from his on-screen roles, Finn was an improv performer and worked as a teacher at the Colorado university, where he was a faculty member.

He was involved with a six-person improv troupe called "Beer Shark Mice".

"Finn guided, supported, and advised many learners during his career and you'd be hard-pressed to find someone anywhere who has anything negative to say about him," his loved ones expressed.

Paying homage, peer Richard Kind said there was "not a more kind, gentle, or funny, authentic human being you could encounter".

"Consistently upbeat, assisting others to improve and be funnier. A great dad, a great guy," he posted on social media.
