And another one bites the dust.LOS ANGELES | Tue Nov 29, 2011 2:32pm EST
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Stand-up comedian Patrice O'Neal died on Tuesday at the age of 41 following a stroke last month, his agent said.
"It is with terrible sadness we must report that Patrice O'Neal has passed away this morning...due to the complications of the stroke he suffered on October 19," O'Neal's agent Matt Frost said in a statement.
"Many of us have lost a close and loved friend; all of us have lost a true comic genius," Frost added.
O'Neal, who appeared on Comedy Central celebrity roasts and on Conan O'Brien's and David Letterman's late night TV shows, was also a frequent guest on the "Opie & Anthony" radio show on Sirius XM.
"Yes it's true that our pal Patrice O'Neal has passed away. The funniest and best thinker I've known. PERIOD," the Sirius XM hosts said in a Twitter message.
The "Opie & Anthony" show also broke news last month that the stand-up comic, who was diabetic, had suffered a stroke last month.
Frost said O'Neal's mother Georgia was at his side when he died. O'Neal is survived by his wife, Vondecarlo, his step daughter Aymilyon and sister Zinder.
"The family wishes to thank all of the fans and friends who have expressed an outpouring of love and support for Patrice these past weeks. We ask that you please respect the family's request for privacy at this difficult time," the statement added.
O'Neal took part along with other celebrities in Comedy Central's roast of actor Charlie Sheen in September.
He also appeared in the Comedy Central special "Elephant in the Room," and had guest roles in TV shows including "The Office" and "Arrested Development".
Film appearances included "In the Cut," "25th Hour" and "Head of State."

Damn, that's the second "Tough Crowd" regular to go in the past year.
RIP
Probably ate a McRib
Damn...
A stroke at only 41?
Opie and Anthony, Tough Crowd w/ Colin Quinn, and The Office
one of my favorites and part of that clique of comics that couldn't be more real
wow, unreal
RIP
This was one funny ass dude
RIP
Patrice???? WTF???
He was fat
like really fat
Still, RIP, funny ass guy
smh...that sucks...crazy ... RIP
Anthony Jeselnik posted this on twitter today. Mean, but probably the way best way comedians honor each other:
Goodbye, Patrice O'Neal. I didn't know you well. But I knew you'd never miss Thanksgiving.
will be missed. RIP
those comedians that ed him up duing Sheen's roast should be feeling like right about now.
that goes against the entire idea
I know who you're referring to, Amy Schumer and Jeselnik, and they were the only ones who made it seem like a real roast. You can't hold back during those things unless you KNOW something bad's gonna happen
Strange that on an airing of Opie and Anthony the dude was joking about having his part written as having diabetes and dying of a heart attack in the next year so they could have a safety net if they wanted to get rid of him. That was in 2010.
How long until the more famous O'Neal? How long can a heart support a 7', 350lb man?
True that. I'll give him 5 years.
That sucks.
I guess we can remove "Stand-up" from his handle.........
Rogan played this on his podcast yesterday, he rips this to shreds.
4:40-5:04
I could post a million vids of him on Opie and Anthony but I wouldn't know where to begin
