Patrick’s niece Kelly confirmed the news to Variety and shared a sweet note about her late uncle.

She told the outlet: “His uniqueness was that he was a philosopher and a tough mofo.

“Pat was the street fighter and my dad was the jester.”

Kelly continued: “He was my dad’s hero.

“A lot of his thinking in the last 25 years of (George’s) career were fed by and connected to Pat.” 

On social media, she also shared the sad news, writing: “My dear Uncle Patrick has moved onto the spirit world.

“He’s currently spinning tunes, smoking a jay w/my Aunt Marlane and shooting the s**t w/ his brother.”

Patrick’s brother George passed away more than a decade earlier.

He died from heart failure at the age of 71, back in 2008.

George had dedicated a chapter of his autobiography, Last Words, which was released the year after his death, to his brother.

This segment of the book was titled The Ace of Aces, the Dude of Dudes.

As the comedian had already passed when it was released, Patrick was the one who narrated the audiobook version.
