Rob Ford, the scandal-laden former mayor of Toronto has passed away after fighting a rare form of cancer.

Remember Ford? The guy who says he has more than enough to eat at home (referring to his wife)? Yeah, THAT guy! Canadian's version of Chris Farley...wait was Farley Canadian? I don't think so...doesn't matter I'm just rambling now. Anyway...

Ford, who was in a battle with a rare abdominal cancer that forced him out of the 2014 election race, died Tuesday, according to a family statement released by his office.

"With heavy hearts and profound sadness, the Ford family announces the passing of their beloved son, brother, husband and father, Councillor Rob Ford. A dedicated man of the people, Councillor Ford spent his life serving the people of Toronto."

Doctors removed a malignant tumor, but in October they discovered two cancerous growths on his bladder. He was hospitalized in February, and was planning a new round of treatment when his condition became terminal.

Ford is survived by his wife, Renata, and two children.

This dude was quite the dumpster fire but ask plenty of Toronto residents and plenty will say he did a lot of good for that city....cocaine, booze, hookers and all.

Rest in peace big guy.
