Fez Whatley, shock jock and comedian best known as half of the radio show “The Ron and Fez Show,” died Friday night of heart failure. He was 57.

His former hosting partner, Ron Bennington, announced the sad news on Instagram.

“We lost our sweet Fez Whatley last night. His heart finally gave out,” Bennington wrote. “We are devastated, but we will always remember the laughter through our tears.  Our thoughts are with his family who loved him the most and with the people who knew him as a voice on the radio. #fezwhatley.”

Bennington has kept fans up to date on Whatley’s health problems, posting photos of him laying in a hospital bed in March after just suffering “another massive heart attack.”

“Fez had another massive heart attack this week,” Bennington wrote. “He flatlined on Tuesday, but was able to be revived by doctors. He spent a few days on a ventilator and is now breathing on his own.  His sister snapped these pics of him while he was on the vent, and Fez is oddly proud of them. (Swipe for all pics)
