The comedic world lost another great voice on Dec. 26. According to TIME, comedian/actor Ricky Harris passed away at age 54. In a statement issued by Harris’ manager, Cindy Ambers, a cause of his death has yet to be revealed, the Los Angeles Times reports, but he had complications with his heart in 2014.
