Never the healthiest dude around, Patrice O'Neal passed away this morning from complications due to a heart attack last month. Sad, sad stuff. Like a lot of people, I'd never heard of him until his breakout performance at the Roast of Charlie Sheen. I watched the special, then spent the next hour and a half voraciously watching whatever Youtube clips I could find of the guy.
If you haven't seen his performance at the roast, do watch it. His fellow roasters went after him harder than he thought they would, and he had to come up with more brutal material to slap them back into place. It's truly hilarious. I don't know a lot about him, but I know he was very, very funny, and brought smiles to the faces of a lot of people. O'Neal was 41. Rest in paradise Patrice.
RIP homie
