US actor Finn, who featured in popular programs including "Friends", "Seinfeld" and The Middle, has died at the age of 60.
The comedic improv actor succumbed at his home in LA this Monday after undergoing cancer treatment beginning in 2022, as reported by news outlets.
"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".
Finn's first television role was on a show starring George Wendt in 1995, where he appeared as the titular character's brother.
He also had a recurring role on Murphy Brown between 1995 and 1997.
He played the part of the character Joe Mayo in "Seinfeld" in 1998, portraying a host known to delegate unpleasant chores to his guests.
During the late 1990s and early 2000s, he made guest appearances on numerous well-known programs, including:
His most famous role for playing Bill Norwood in "The Middle", starring in eight seasons over nearly a decade.
His film credits encompass "It's Complicated" and Santa Paws 2: The Santa Pups (2012).
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.
The actor is survived by his partner Donna, three children, and his mother, father, and brothers/sisters.
