He was a funny dude. RIP.

Oh man, that is so sad. He was very funny!

My condolences to his family and loved ones. 45 is so damn young!

Sadly, the price of morbid obesity if often death.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, because I saw him be the assistant for that dude who had lost all that weight.

Didn't think that would be the last time I'd see him on stage though.

Coffee anyone? Served by a dirty white boy?

Midgets? He loves 'em!

I thought he was pretty funny.

Morbid obesity is essentially suicide.

You can tell from the way he breathes that he hasn't got long to live.

I never understood why the funniest people lead such tortured lives. Greg Giraldo, Mitch Hedberg, Patrice O' Neal, Richard Jenny. The names are endless. All before their time.

I wasn't too familiar with his work until he appeared on This Is Not Happening:



Fucking hilarious. R.I.P., Ralphie.
