“American Pickers” Shares Her Heartache Nearly A Year After Frank Fritz’s Death
When American Pickers Star Frank Fritz died in September 2024, the news shocked many. He last appeared on the show in 2020 but never left the hearts of his co-stars. Frank passed away following complications from a major stroke. Even though it’s been almost a year since his passing, it still feels unreal to those who loved him.
Danielle Colby, who currently stars on American Pickers, misses Frank Fritz’s sense of humor.
“Boy, we miss Frank. We miss his laughter. We miss his sense of humor,” Danielle told Newsweek. “I think his sense of humor was the most important piece of his personality that really kept us together and kept things on the same thread. And it was, man, that sense of humor is sharp. A very, very witty man.”

Frank Fritz Was The Kind Of Friend Everyone Wanted To Have
Danielle told Newsweek Frank Fritz always knew what to do and what to say. He had an unmatched ability to read people’s emotions.
“I miss those rare moments where he was emotionally vulnerable and would give me a hug or, you know, call up and ask questions, or ask for advice,” Danielle continued. “I miss those moments when he was able to kind of like reach out very personally.”
Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz were friends for most of their lives. Mike broke the news of Frank’s death on Instagram in October. He shared similar thoughts about his dear friend as Danielle.
“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,” Mike wrote. “I love you buddy and will miss you so much I know [you’re] in a better place.”
Danielle agreed, adding Frank will always be missed.
“We love Frank and we miss him. Huge loss. Huge loss for the community here in the Quad Cities. Huge loss the world. Huge, huge loss for us.”
