The character was famously involved in a feud with Fran.
Stephen Clinch also starred in John Connors' movie Cardboard Gangsters and the TV3 crime series Darklands.
The 52-year-old actor also served time recently for an armed robbery.
Actor John Connors wrote on his Instagram story: "One of the funniest and most decent people I've ever known. As loyal as a friend you could ever want. Love you Clinchy. Will miss you always. Rip."
"My thoughts and prayers are with his family", added Mr Connors.
Mark O'Connor said: "You made mistakes but you came through them. An incredible actor, the only one to star in all my films and Darklands.
"One of the funniest people you could ever meet never asked for nothing & gave everything. Today Dublin has lost one of its realest legends. RIP my pal Clinchy."
Fellow actor Robbie Breen, who also starred alongside him in Darklands, told the Sunday World: “He was a true character on and off the set, may he rest in peace.”
The funeral will take place on Saturday morning at Our Lady Immaculate church in the Darndale-Belcamp parish.
The funeral mass, which is set to start at 11am, can be viewed online.
