Vincent 'Don Vito' Margera, uncle to prankster Bam Margera and fan favorite on MTV's Jackass show, died at the age of 59 on Sunday, according to TMZ

Vincent became famous for pulling pranks (he was often the butt of the joke) on the MTV series,  Jackass movies, and spin-off show Viva La Bam, which also centered on Bam's debauchery. Margera earned the nickname 'Don Vito' by way of his inaudible speech that often needed subtitles on the show, similar to The Godfather's Don Vito's incoherent speech.

Although Don Vito awoke from a coma last month, he had been struggling with kidney and liver failures for several years.

Vincent was also under probation for a sex charge. He was found guilty in 2007 of two counts of sexual assault on a child and was sentenced to ten years probation.
