"Pat never met a stranger - solely future friends he didn't know yet," his family shared in a announcement.
They noted that he had "experienced life to the fullest - with happiness and energy".

His most famous role for playing Bill Norwood in "The Middle", starring in eight seasons over nearly a decade.

Away from his acting parts, Finn was a skilled improviser and served as an educator at the University of Colorado, where he was an adjunct professor.
He was part of a six-member improv team named "Beer Shark Mice".
"He guided, supported, and advised numerous pupils throughout the years and it's nearly impossible to find someone who has anything negative to say about him," his family wrote.
Offering condolences, fellow actor Richard Kind remarked there was "no kinder, gentler, funnier, down to earth person you could encounter".
"Always positive, assisting others to improve and be funnier. A wonderful father and man," he shared online.
