Dave Madden  -- who played "The Partridge Family's" aggravated band manager on the 1970s TV show -- has died after a long illness at age 82 ... TMZ has learned.

Madden played Reuben Kincaid on the show ... who was often bedeviled by the antics of the Partridge kids, particularly Danny, played by Danny Bonaduce.

Dave's former agent tells TMZ ... he died of congestive heart and kidney failure early this morning.

RIP.

Now let’s see if this gets as many hits as the two threads on Russell Johnson’s passing...

“Laugh-In” alumnus, as well. He and Bonaduce were pretty funny together.

With his last breath he exclaimed, "Russell Johnson lives! Syndication and royalty checks forever!"

R.I.P. Dave Madden.

Actually, I thought he already was, One Step Beyond. Kept a very low profile.

He was also a regular on “Camp Runamuck,” several years earlier.

Rueben Kincaid and The Professor both died today.

Somebody is killing off all the old TV stars you thought were dead already.

Watch your six, Fish!

It was remarkable in that His hair never moved!

RIP Reuben

Watch your six, Fish!

So far, so good.

The Professor and Mr. Kincaid

Seems all the old stars from after-school TV of my youth are dropping like flies.

Getting old sucks.

Now he’ll never make that date with Bonnie Kleinschmidt.

Abe was reported dead on the national news twice. He still has fun with it.

[Slings and Arrows]

Mark Twain would approve.

Second to last Munchkin also passed today. Ruth Duccini was the last female. Now only Jerry Maren lives.
