Rob "The Rabbit" Pitts, a beloved star of the Netflix show Tex Mex Motors, has sadly passed away at the age of 45. In a heartbreaking video titled "This Is Goodbye," Pitts shared the news of his battle with stomach cancer and his ultimate passing in a hospice on Sunday.
Pitts first revealed his diagnosis in March, in a devastating message to his fans. In the video, he shared that he had been feeling "off" since last year's SEMA event and had been losing weight. However, he was determined to continue filming the second season of Tex Mex Motors and didn't mind the weight loss.
But as filming went on, Pitts began experiencing more severe symptoms, such as acid reflux and loss of appetite. Despite seeking medical treatment, the root cause of his symptoms remained a mystery until he was diagnosed with stomach cancer.
Since then, Pitts had been receiving treatment at home, but it was a difficult journey with more bad days than good. However, he remained positive and grateful for the life he had lived. He had accomplished his dream of owning his own store, finished filming the second season of Tex Mex Motors, and married the love of his life.
In the video, Pitts also shared some advice for his fans and followers, urging them to listen to their bodies and seek answers if something feels wrong. He concluded the emotional video by thanking his fans for their support and sharing that he would love to hear how his stories had impacted their lives.
The news of Pitts' passing was confirmed in a pinned comment on the video by his friend Jeff, who was with him in hospice. Fans also shared their tributes in the comments, with many expressing how much Pitts had inspired and influenced them. From his unique voice to his honest business practices, Pitts was a true role model to many.
Pitts was best known for his appearance on Tex Mex Motors, a show that followed a team of passionate car restorers near the US-Mexico border. Alongside his co-stars Mike Coy, Jaime Hjelm, and Wesley Zachary, Pitts shared his love for cars and inspired countless viewers.
Tex Mex Motors can still be viewed on Netflix, and Pitts' legacy will continue to live on through his work.
