RIP Frank Fritz (What Happened) to the American Pickers Host?😮#news #breakingnews #entertainment

Frank Fritz, co-host of the popular History Channel show *American Pickers*, has passed away at the age of 60. His death was confirmed on October 1, 2024, following a long battle with health issues, including a severe stroke he suffered in July 2022 and ongoing complications from Crohn's disease[1][2][3].

Fritz began his journey on *American Pickers* in 2010 alongside his childhood friend Mike Wolfe, and together they traveled across the United States searching for unique antiques and collectibles. Over the course of the show, which has run for over 25 seasons, Fritz appeared in 308 episodes before stepping away in 2021 due to health problems and a reported feud with Wolfe[2][3][4]. Despite their differences, the two reconciled after Fritz's stroke, with Wolfe expressing his support during Fritz's recovery[1][4].

Wolfe shared heartfelt tributes on social media, describing Fritz as a "dreamer" who was both sensitive and humorous. He reminisced about their adventures together and expressed gratitude for being by Fritz's side during his final moments[2][3]. The History Channel and *American Pickers* producer Cineflix Productions also released a statement honoring Fritz as "the bearded charmer," recognizing his passion for vintage motorcycles and antiques[1][2].

Fritz's manager, Bill Stankey, remembered him as an exceptional human being who had an extensive knowledge of Americana and antiques. He emphasized that Fritz was the "anchor" of *American Pickers* and would be deeply missed by friends, family, and fans alike[4].
