Mike Wolfe was devastated by the loss of his dear friend and co-star, Frank Fritz. It was with a heavy heart that he announced the passing of the American Pickers actor at the age of 60. The two had been on a journey together, traveling around the United States in search of valuable antiques for their History Channel series.
Since the show's debut in 2010, Frank had been by Mike's side, bringing joy and laughter to their viewers. However, in 2021, Frank made the difficult decision to leave the show due to his health issues. He had been struggling with Crohn's disease and had recently undergone back surgery. Then, in July 2022, he was hospitalized after suffering a stroke. Sadly, on the night of September 30, 2024, he passed away.
Mike took to Instagram to share the heartbreaking news, accompanied by a photo of the two friends smiling together. In his touching tribute, he described Frank as a dreamer who was both sensitive and funny. He revealed that off-camera, Frank was just as genuine and had a way of touching the hearts of those around him.
The two had shared countless trips and adventures on the road together. Before the show, they would set off with no destination in mind, driven by their shared passion for discovering interesting and historic artifacts. Mike reflected on their journey and expressed his gratitude for being by Frank's side until the very end.
Their partnership may have been unexpected, but it was one that brought them both great success. They never could have imagined that they would be driving a white cargo van in front of millions of people, sharing their adventures and discoveries. But through it all, their friendship remained strong.
Mike ended his tribute by expressing his love for his buddy and his belief that Frank was now in a better place. He also announced that this was a breaking news story and promised to provide updates soon. He encouraged readers to share any memories or stories they had of Frank and to follow The Agency Entertainment on social media for the latest updates.
The loss of Frank was a devastating blow to Mike and all those who knew him. But his memory and legacy will live on through the show and the impact he had on so many people's lives. Rest in peace, Frank Fritz. You will be deeply missed.
