Frank Fritz' 'American Pickers' Co-Stars Danielle Colby and Robert Wolfe Mourn His Death With Heartfelt Tributes

American Pickers' Frank Fritz' former co-stars are rallying behind the series alum with heartfelt tributes following his death at 60 on Sept. 30.

Mike Wolfe—who led the show alongside Fritz from its inception in 2010 to 2020, when Fritz departed due to an alleged feud between the two—announced the sad news on Oct. 1. Wolf did not share a cause of death for his longtime friend, though his death comes about two years after a prior stroke.

Shortly after the news broke, shop manager Danielle Colby, quickly posted a tribute to the late reality star, sharing a photo seemingly taken in a hotel hallway, in front of a poster for History's Evel Live. Another snapshot showed her and Fritz seated near a green screen on set, with Colby clutching a detached steering wheel.

"Frank, I will miss your ability to make everyone laugh, your love for talking tattoos, your epic collections but what I will miss the most are those little glimpses of vulnerability from time to time," she wrote. "Frank, you loved your cat and your momma and we bonded on those things. You will be missed for all of these reasons and so many more. Rest in Peace Road Dog❤️‍🩹."

Mike's brother Robert Wolfe, who joined the show full-time when Fritz left in 2020, shared a photo of the two flipping through binders of vintage pictures.

"It with a heavy heart I’m sad to say My friend Frank Fritz has passed away last night," Robert wrote. "You all knew him from TV. But I knew him from traveling ,Fishing and Family he was the god father to my twin girls."

He continued, "His smile was contagious and his laughter will be missed. Most of all just time sitting in a fishing boat talking about life. I know you’re in a better place. . Love you buddy hope you catch the big one🎣 until we see each other in heaven hold the boat steady. 🙏😇."

Mike praised Fritz when announcing his death, telling fans, "I’ve know Frank for more then half my life and what you’ve seen on TV has always been what I have seen, a dreamer who was just as sensitive as he was funny. The same off camera as he was on, Frank had a way of reaching the hearts of so many by just being himself."

"I love you buddy and will miss you so much I know your [sic] in a better place," he concluded.
