They also ask for fans to give Finch\u2019s family and friends to process John Finch\u2019s death for the time being.<\/p>\n<p>This is so heartbreaking\u2026 John Finch was an incredibly bright and caring person that would light up any conversation. He will be incredibly missed, rest in peace.<br \/>\n\u2014 Kelly Link (@HelloKellyLink) May 23, 2021<\/p>\n<p>Deepest condolences to Finch\u2019s family and the SMITE community.
