Bob Massi, a Nevada lawyer and Fox News legal analyst, died Wednesday after a battle with cancer, his law firm announced Thursday.

Massi, 67, served as a real estate attorney and hosted "Bob Massi Is the Property Man," which aired on Fox News and Fox Business, Fox News reported.

Massi also appeared on "Fox & Friends" for regular segments, the network said.

"You might know him as 'The Property Man,' to many of us here at Fox News, he was a ... cherished colleague and a great friend," Fox News anchor Shepard Smith said in a Thursday tribute. 

Smith said that Massi joined the network "right when the lights first came on." He covered high-profile trials, including O.J. Simpson and the Unabomber: "If it was a big trial, Bob was on it," Smith commented.

Son Robert Massi posted a tribute to his late father to the Massi & Massi Attorneys at Law Facebook page: "My Dad dedicated his professional life to the idea that a fair and just application of the law made us all truly equal. ... He truly loved people and helping people was his passion."

The law firm offers personal injury, real estate and other legal services, according to its website.
