    Another comedian has left us all far too early. 

    Yesterday, on Thanksgiving, Andy Ritchie, passed away after a long battle with brain cancer. Brendon Walsh wrote this on the GoFundMe page that has raised over $100K to pay for Andy’s medical bills (note: Brendon has asked for the donations to stop coming in):

    Andy passed away this afternoon at Hollywood Presbyterian. His mom, Ruby, and his brother Simon were all with him.

    I don’t know what else to say. He was a great guy. Listen to his album on Spotify or download it or whatever. He’s hilarious.

    Thanks for everything you all did to help. Have a good Thanksgiving.

    Love,
    Brendon

    Andy was loved by many including Daniel Tosh, who boosted the fundraising campaign by giving it national attention on Tosh.0. His craftsman like jokes and his genuinely good nature made an impression on everyone he met, especially throughout the comedy community.
