Charlie Sheen spoke of O’Neal saying “The entertainment world as well as the world at large lost a brilliant man.”
He added, “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.”
In addition to his stand up acts, Patrice O’Neal had half hour specials on HBO and Showtime and hosted Web Junk 20 on VH1.
