Tales have reached our ears of a beloved figure departing from the realm of American Pickers, none other than Frank Fitz. Alas, a recent and tragic turn of events hath ordained that he shall not return. What dark fate hath befallen Frank on this antique-hunting sojourn known as American Pickers?
The saga unfolds with Frank Fitz bidding adieu to American Pickers, citing health tribulations. In the waning days of September 2024, at the tender age of 60, he didst depart from this mortal coil. Behold, ye who dare to venture forth, for the chronicle of his exit from American Pickers and the ensuing events is a somber one.
Frank Fitz, co-founder and co-host of American Pickers alongside the venerable Mike Wolfe, stood as stalwart guardian for twenty-one seasons. Yet, in the midst of Season 21, he vanished, leaving this odyssey of antiquities bereft of his presence.
As recounted by Yahoo, in the year of our Lord 2021, the decree hath gone forth from the annals of History Channel that Fitz had relinquished his role in the show. Rumors did swirl that Fitz’s ailment that necessitated back surgery may have precipitated his departure. Yet, whispers abound that a rift between Fritz and Mike Wolfe sowed the seeds of discord. While Wolfe maintained a stoic silence, Fitz voiced grievances, lamenting the producers’ favoritism towards his co-star.
“I have not crossed paths with Mike in two winters. He knew of my ailing back, yet his inquiries remained silent. Such is the truth of it,” declared Fitz in his exodus, as chronicled by The US Sun. “The scales doth tip a thousandfold in his favor. Alas, my reach does not extend to convey the vastness of it,” Fitz lamented, hinting at being forsaken.
Wolfe, cloaked in mystery, left followers in speculation over the untold tales behind the curtain. While myriad rumors traversed the grapevine, Wolfe’s allegiance to the History Channel hath sealed his lips, leaving avid of the truth. And now, as Fitz hath journeyed beyond the veil, Wolfe may choose silence in respect of his departed comrade.
The narrative unfolds with Fitz’s lamentable departure, yet his trials were not at an end. In the year 2022, he was beset by a stroke, holding him captive within the bosom of hospital walls. Wolfe, ordinarily reticent, beseeched People magazine to grant his compatriot the respite needed to convalesce.
“Verily, amidst the din of opinions regarding our kinship and the show, now is not the hour to set records straight. Nay, now is the time to invoke goodwill for my companion,” decreed Wolfe.
Fitz, shrouded from public eye, once harbored hopes of a resurgence to the show. Wolfe and Fitz convened after a trinity of years, fostering speculation of a reunion. Yet, fate ordained otherwise when the official American Pickers account proclaimed Frank’s passing over a year later.
“Alas, we mourn the passing of our steadfast friend and cherished member of The HISTORY Channel and American Pickers kin, Frank Fritz, on the eve of September 30, 2024,” the lament doth declare.
An Associated Press narrative chronicled Fitz’s final days in a hospice abode ere his spirit took flight. Wolfe paid homage on Instagram, and multitudes followed suit in honoring his memory.
Thus, the saga concludes with Frank succumbing to health maladies, leading to his exit from the realm of American Pickers, ending his earthly journey in September 2024.
American Pickers, an artifact of time, awaits exploration on the History Channel.
Let it be known that this telling was updated on the zenith of October in the year 2024 by the bard of yore to impart newfound tidings of Frank.
