Mike DeStefano Dies

(mikedestefano.com)
Mike DeStefano died March 6 from a heart attack. His management confirmed the news with a statement sent to Punchline Magazine.
We are indeed incredibly saddened by the loss of this amazing man. He had touched the lives of many with his unique brand of comedy and was looking forward to sharing the same with so many more. Mostly, we will all miss his huge heart and incredibly loving and selfless passion for people.

At Cringe Humor, Chris Italia writes
Mike had become a brother to us, the shock and the sadness that comes from this will be felt forever. Mike was the epitome of what Cringe Humor stands for. Always real. Always True. Always Funny. We’ll be updating the site with any information.

The bulk of DeStefano's fame came just last year after his exposure on Last Comic Standing. His act was dark, blunt, and hilarious. Much of his material came from his experience of dealing drug addiction, losing his wife, and living with HIV. He recently finished a successful run of his show Drugs, Disease and Death: A Comedy.
