(KWQC/Gray News) - Frank Fritz, known as part of the original “American Pickers” duo, has died.

Co-star Mike Wolfe shared the sad news in a post on Instagram Tuesday.

“Frank passed away last night. I’ve [known] Frank for more [than] 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,” Wolfe wrote.

Fritz suffered a stroke in 2022.

“American Pickers” premiered on the History Channel in 2010. In the show, Fritz and Wolfe traveled across the country in search of rare artifacts and natural treasures for their personal collections or to sell in antique stores.

Fritz left the show in 2020.
