American Pickers' Frank Fritz 'lost the will to live' - show was never the same without him says pal

American Pickers star Frank Fritz died on Monday, September 30, and a close friend believes he passed because he “lost his will to live” two years after suffering a debilitating stroke. Frank died at 60 years old in an Iowa hospice with loved ones, including longtime friend and costar Mike Wolfe, by his side.

My husband lost the will to live after not being able to work any longer 😢 He was a farmer and farmers don't plan to retire.
Sometimes I still get angry at him for leaving me behind 💔😭
But I'm thankful we had 50 blessed years💞 and I'm thankful he's not suffering any longer.

I liked him so much. Very sad that he is gone.

Frank was a good guy God Rest his soul, I've known him for quite some years and he lived life, he didn't just sit around with his nose buried in a TV or a telephone. He worked hard had fun and accomplished a lot, as people seen on the show he had a lifelong love of motorcycles, he built his first Basket Case when he was a kid. He had his struggles and live life sometimes figuratively going down the highway at 120 miles an hour with his hair on fire, and yeah that's why this was so hard for him because there's a lot of things he would have liked to have done and he was stuck. I can think of worse Fates but I really have to work at it. God rest your soul brother!
