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

A Prolific Television Career

His initial on-screen part was on a show starring George Wendt in 1995, where he played the lead character's sibling.

He also had a recurring role on Murphy Brown in the latter half of the 1990s.

He appeared as the character Joe Mayo in Seinfeld in 1998, playing a party host famous for delegating burdensome jobs to his guests.

A Life in Improv

Outside of his television work, Finn was deeply involved in improvisational comedy and worked as a teacher at the University of Colorado, where he was an adjunct professor.

He was part of a six-person improv troupe called Beer Shark Mice.

"Pat taught, supported, and inspired countless students during his career and it's nearly impossible to find someone anywhere who has an unkind word to say about him," his relatives stated.

Offering condolences, fellow actor Richard Kind remarked there was "nobody more kind, gentle, and humorous, down to earth person you could encounter".

"Perpetually optimistic, helping you be funnier and better. A great dad, a great guy," he posted publicly.
