Patrice O’Neal has passed away. The comedian died after complications from a stroke that he had back on October 19th.
One of the last performances for O’Neal was on Comedy Central’s roast of Charlie Sheen in which O’Neal was the final roaster of the evening.
Charlie Sheen has posted the following on his blog:
The entertainment world as well as the world at large lost a brilliant man today. Patrice had that rare “light” around him and inside of him. I only knew him for the few days leading up the Roast. Yet I will forever be inspired by his nobility, his grace and his epic talent. my tears today are for the tremendous loss to his true friends and loving family.” cs
Seth Meyers who hosted the roast tweeted, “RIP Patrice O’Neal. A day spent watching clips of him on-line is a day well spent.”
