Frank Fritz's Life and Journey on American Pickers

At 60 years old, Frank Fritz, a beloved figure from the reality TV show American Pickers, passed away. This unfortunate event was linked to complications from a stroke he had suffered two years prior, which he never fully recovered from. Apart from the stroke, Fritz also battled Crohn's disease, an autoimmune disorder affecting the digestive tract. Although not usually fatal, complications can arise if the condition is not managed properly. Fritz’s manager confirmed that his passing was due to these complications. Despite a public falling out in 2020 with his co-star Mike Wolfe, they reportedly reconciled this year. Fritz had been a key part of American Pickers since it started, but he left the show in 2021. Despite his departure, the reality show continues to be aired on the History Channel.
