Actor Pat Finnâs daughter, Caitlin Finn, is speaking publicly for the first time following her father’s death. The beloved comedic actor is remembered for his warmth on screen and his devotion to family off-screen. In a deeply emotional message shared on social media, Caitlin reflected on pride, grief, and the lasting bond she shared with her dad.
TMZ reported that the beloved actor and comedian passed away at 60, after a brave battle with cancer.
A Daughterâs Pride in the Life He Built
In her tribute, Caitlin struggled to capture her father in words, saying his spirit was unlike anyone elseâs. âItâs difficult to put into words how to describe someone like my dad. Mostly because there really was no one like him,â she wrote.
She explained that one word has stayed with her since his passing.
âBut lately, Iâve found myself saying the word proud a lot. Iâm proud of the life he created. Iâm proud of him for following his dreams. Iâm proud of him for marrying the love of his life. Iâm proud of him for being the most genuine and selfless person every day. Iâm proud of him for the fight he fought and never giving up. But most of all, I am so proud to be his daughter.â
Love That Moves in Both Directions
Caitlin acknowledged her fatherâs constant encouragement and reassurance, in return offering a promise. âI know youâre proud of us, but I promise we are prouder of you.â
Her words captured the mutual admiration that defined their relationship, shaped by support, humor, and unconditional love. The loss has left Caitlin grappling with unanswered questions and moments she wishes they could still share.
âI wish we had more time because there are still so many more questions I have, stories I want to hear, and movies I want to watch together, even if we end up talking the whole time,â she wrote.
She added a tender reflection rooted in her fatherâs love for comedy and friendship.
âWhich now Iâm sure Chris Farley is talking your ear off after reuniting.â
Caitlin shared that she feels both changed and guided by her fatherâs absence.
âIâm so lucky to have had 28 years with you. A part of me will never be the same, and I donât know how the world keeps moving without you in it, but I will carry you with me in everything I do.â
She found comfort in knowing he is no longer suffering. âI find comfort in knowing you are out of pain and are back with some of the greatest people.â
She closed her tribute by honoring a phrase her father lived by.
âLike you said, life is just the time we spend in between laughs. But now, Dad, itâs time for you to make some people laugh up there. I love you 10. Thank you, Dad & cheers to you forever â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â¤ï¸â
