Actor Michael Patrick<\/a> — who appeared in an episode of “Game of Thrones” — has died after a yearslong battle with motor neurone disease, according to his wife.<\/p>\n

Naomi Sheehan broke the sad news on Instagram Wednesday, sharing she and his loved ones are “broken-hearted” over the loss.<\/p>\n

Michael — who his wife affectionately calls “Mick” — was diagnosed with motor neurone disease in February 2023.<\/p>\n

The disease gradually destroys the neurons that help with things like breathing, swallowing, chewing, talking and walking, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In her touching tribute to Mick, Naomi said her husband was a “titan of a ginger haired man” and an “inspiration,” writing … “He lived a life as full as any human can live. Joy, abundance of spirit, infectious laughter.”<\/p>\n
