Hey everyone, this is Jeff (Rob's Videographer). I am with him now in Hospice. He just passed at 21:45 on 08/25/2024. I will be sure to preserve the channel. He will be missed and we will never forget him! ♥️
Man this is exactly why I'm here. The ending hit me like a ton of bricks. I had absolutely no idea how much Rabbit meant to me and finding out about his passing is really affecting me in ways I cannot understand. I loved every second of Tex Mex motors and now I know why. RIP man 😭
I have never heard of Rob "Rabbit" Pitts until today. For some reason, TH-cam felt I needed to see this. As a medical practitioner, it hit hard when the words "Always ask questions. Always get answers" came across the screen. Listen to your body and always seek answers. "For I know not who you are, but forever, you have changed who I am." ~ Unknown RIP Mr. Pitts.
I have pissed off several doctors over the years because of my reluctance to just take the meds and move on. I appreciate your acknowledgement of his words very much. I have absolutely no idea who Rob pitts is or was and like the dr, this just came across my feed. For what reason I do not know. Even though this is the first time I’m hearing about you It is still a punch to the gut to learn of your passing. Rest in peace Sir.
I had no idea that he passed away. I just finished watching Texas/Mex motors and I saw the memorial. I was floored. Listening to the last bit of him talking about 20 more years with Scooter. I am heartbroken over the news. Rest in peace my brother. You are going to be missed.
Just finished watching season 2 with my hubby and couldn't believe the ending, had to Google to see if it was real 😢 just watched this and sat sobbing as I was reading it out to my hubby 😭
I don’t think he understands how many grown ass men are sitting in their living room, watching this on their phone, bawling their eyes out… Rob was a real one…
Right here man. Rob was one of those people that could just grab you and make you pay attention. A true car salesman in the best sense of it. Maybe in the worse sense of it too haha
Life is about being a good person,,Having no ego,,Rebuking satan in all its forms,,Putting our lord and saviour Jesus Christ first,,Above everything and everyone,,,even your spouse and children,,,Believe in him with all your heart and soul,,Denounce usury and materialism in all its forms,,,And remember,,The only way to the father is through the son,,,Do these things ,And you will be one with him in paradise for eternity ,,
I've been recommended like 3 people's post-mortem videos in the past week or two. Never heard of any of the people before, but it still really pulls at your heart :(

No idea who this is, Never watched a car video in my life, but this notification popped up, and I clicked on it, curious. I can really tell how much of a legacy he’s left behind. How good of a man he is. I teared up for a man I never knew. You’re awesome, Mr. Pitts.
Me and my wife both we crying our eyes out on the phone talking about this. It’s wild the profound impact a complete stranger can have on people’s lives
Aww man this one made me cry like a kid.. Noticed he was getting skinny but never thought he would go out that fast 😢 thanks for the laughs and great memories Rabbit!
This hit hard. Sitting here with my husband who is in final stages of cancer. He opted to stop all treatment so we can have some time to love one another without appointments and treatments and him being too sick to even eat hanging over our heads. They have chased his cancer for years, never finding it. He's atypical. But, in weeks or months - we pray for much longer, I will be a widow. No one else knows your body like you do. Pay attention.
I can’t even begin to imagine.. I’m happy for you that you get to say goodbye and make precious memories ❤ there are some life books, where an individual fills in the blanks and tells parts of their life, perhaps you’d both find comfort and joy in filling it out and knowing his stories can still be shared after he has passed. Lots of love ❤
I don't know who you are. But I came across your comment. Please listen to these instructions for your husband. Juice Red cabbage, it's purple and strong. 3-4oz in the morning, 3-4oz when he goes to bed. Juice carrots and whole kale as well and Let him drink both of those juices once daily. For 4 days. He will regain strength, his body will heal. Please listen. If He can't take anything else give him the red cabbage juice twice a day. I'm begging you ma'am. Let those who have ears, hear.
Same here. Algorithm driven to see this at the top of my feed. What a life, and what an blessing to be able to say goodbye over time. Many never get that chance. Live and Love Every Day, for you never know what awaits you.
I am a pastor in rural central Michigan, crying in my office….. While Rabbit has ZERO idea of who I am, TH-cam, the Internet and VinWiki made me feel as if Rabbit was a good friend. His story telling has inspired my preaching and I have even used a story or two of his in a sermon here and there. Praying the Peace of the Lord be upon all his family, friends and fans!!
I'm crushed about this. I just watched season 2 and was so sad to learn of Rabbit's passing. What an awesome guy and a great show, I love the cars you build. It won't be the same without him, but it will still be great. I'm so sorry to his friends and family. RIP Rabbit you will be missed by many!
When you said the 90s trucks were about to shoot up in value I bought seven of them in different conditions I got in the garage fix them up when the market finally hit like you said it would I sold everyone of them and fulfilled the dream I had of buying my mom a brand new Cadillac and it’s all because of you Brother 🙏🏼🥺❤️
Thank you to the TH-cam algorithm for letting me see this. I was unfamiliar with Mr Pitts until now - to his loved ones, you are in my thoughts and prayers ❤
Damn rabbit I just finished watching season two and was not prepared for the last episode… you inspired me to open my own shop I just got 5 acres of land to get cars from Mexico to restore. God bless you and your wife could only imagine. God bless yall
It took me a minute to realize that this was Rob. The Rob I've listened to every story he's told on VinWiki. The Rob with the unmistakable, southern accent, smooth-as-butter voice. I could listen to Rob read a cookbook. I don't know why this hit so hard. Gonna miss Rob. Lots. He seemed to have a story for everything. Thanks for everything!
I have never heard of Rob "Rabbit" Pitts until today. For some reason, TH-cam felt I needed to see this. This is a reminder for all of us to maintain our humanity. Much Love and Blessings to Rob and everyone who knows/loves him. ❤
Same here. It was on my home page and I felt the need to watch it. I’m sorry to hear of his passing and I hope his loved ones and fans cherish every memory.
I work at O'Reilly auto parts. Rabbit has taught me things i never knew that I needed to know about customer service. He has made me better at my job by telling his stories. I miss him as much as i miss my grandma. I'm seriously considering driving 12 hours just to pay my respects at his funeral. I've never met this man but i feel like he is like an uncle to me. He was gone too soon. I love you Rob Pitts. Until next time Rabbit. I'll see you in heaven my brother.
It’s worth it, he’s worth it. Drive the 12 hours! I almost want to drive from California to be there. I feel the exact same way. I would do the drive if I didn’t have to work. I’d be there in a heartbeat
I also just finished watching season 2 of TexMex. Absolutely devastated to read that Rabbit had died. My condolences go out to his family and friends. Truly sorry to hear the news.

I have never in my life commented on TH-cam. But this guy was a huge inspiration to me. I started my own Tool and Die shop 3 years ago. During the worse of times I would watch his videos and listen to how he never gave up. I never gave up either. Thank you sir because you never really knew the people you inspired. Godspeed.
"Each man's life touches so many others." Clarence, the angel from "It's a Wonderful Life" "Some say you can tell a lot about a man by how many friends he has. And this man, he had a lot of friends." - from the Pastor at my Grandfather's funeral. The entire area of the funeral home was packed and at least as many people were outside listening to everybody who spoke. Vandale Funeral Home, Spencer, WV, June 1987. The procession was miles long to the family cemetery.
Amigo te admiro. Justo termino de ver la segunda temporada de tu serie, y el mensaje al final a tu memoria, me hizo enterarme que te has despedido. Gracias por regalarnos esos momentos de tv, que se convierte en un momento familiar. Ahora estás en manos del gran concesionario, descansa en paz Rabbit
This hit hard. I found a beautiful CK truck for sale whilst looking around and sent Mr. Pitts a message via LinkedIn on 8/12. I instantly thought of him and figured I’d send it to him. Ironically, I’ve had stomach pains, acid reflux, and random vomiting for about three weeks. I’m otherwise a very healthy guy. After watching this, I’m booking an appointment with my doctor. Mr. Pitts reminded me of my father. Good Ol’ Boy with a witty sense of humor and the “I’ll be fine” attitude. Prayers to the family, and I’m sure I’ll be okay, but you’ve inspired me to finally get checked out. RIP.
I always loved listening to Rob and although he’s only 8 years older than me he always reminded me of my dad. Be well, I hope you get it figured out :)
I am deeply moved by this, this is my exact story!! I searched for 9 months of doctor appointments until I finally went to the ER and was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer....I have had all the treatments and 2 years ago my remission came back. I am stage 4 incurable I am now living until I die...I love this message. ❤ RIP fellow traveller condolences to friends and family.
Grieve, Love big, pray hard, put down phones and memorize faces, sing as loud as you can and hit the notes your voice was never meant to hit, annoy your family member a little extra for a laugh, cry a lot but make the tears happy as much sad and bittersweet, kiss slowly and hug even slower and very tight, go get your feet on the fresh earth, look up at night and truly wish on a star, take in the smells of coffee and cakes just to enjoy the scent in a way you never have before, look at how beautiful this earth is and take it in on a deeper sense, but Also grieve ! Not only grieve but bawl your eyes out for the loss of time for you and your family and friends. Don’t be afraid to cry in front of them because it will let them know it’s ok to cry with you and then you can grieve together so you don’t worry about how they will be when you aren’t there because you will have already moved on together in your separate ways comfortable from all the love you shown in those final days till you meet again ! Let all the anger and grief flow through everyone with you together for the time that was taken from you too soon and how unfair it is, now you can move on to being able to openly give and receive the best and purest love you’ve ever know. To say all the words you were so unsure of, to let people know you forgive them and they can forgive you too, and now Love! Love purely and with emotion showing through your eyes and theirs till their soul shines through! so they know how you feel and most importantly look straight in their eyes as you say I love you but don’t focus on trying to capture it all on a phone.. keep those very special moments close to your heart and so will the people around you.. a bucket list doesn’t have to be grand adventures nor really should it I think. ..but simply taking the time to enjoy what you may have looked over, love harder than you ever thought you could, and finally feel free knowing you are leaving a legacy of love behind that many people would kill for from a loved one. When the time comes and it will for you part ways for a while they will feel how you’re content and you will know you loved them more in this short time that most get in a life time and they will get through it yet they will never forget those wonderful last times spent with you. ❤
@@Waysa88this was beautiful! I read it to my daughter....and several times I choked back tears and my voice wobbled....solid stuff. I have been being very intentional since my diagnosis....we build memories. They're so very precious. Thank you for sharing it. Much Love ❤
@@deanas7063 of course. I guess I’ve lost most of the family I grew up with and also work in healthcare dealing in death a lot so I’ve spent a insurmountable amount of time the past 15 years thinking on how I would handle the news or at least hope to after seeing death far to often around me and this is what I’ve seen that really seems to bring peace to everyone and matters. I have a heart condition that without Gods miracle I won’t live a very lengthy life but I intend to make the years I do have count now. I am so thankful I was able to help in some small form to make you life here even slightly better than the moment before. I wish you nothing but happiness, health, and most of all love till you get your wings ❤️
TH-cam decided I needed to be introduced to Rabbit and his channel today. I am not subscribed and I haven't seen any other content but just wanted to honour his legacy here and extend my love and support to those loved ones missing him. Take care everyone 💛
I had the pleasure of meeting Rob a couple years back. My grandfather had just passed and Robs shop wasn’t far from where my grandad lived. I reached out to Rob to see if I could swing by and check it out since I was in the area. He sat there and talked to me and my dad like we had been lifelong friends! He truly was a great guy. His small gesture of letting me come check out his shop made what me and my dad were going through a little easier! Whether he knew it or not he made a huge impact on so many lives. RIP Rabbit you will be missed!
"If your body is telling you something is wrong don't stop until you figure it out" I cannot express enough how true this is. I saw a dozen doctors, and every single one would explain away my symptoms like they were nothing. Finally I got one that would actually listen and put the pieces together, and was diagnosed with Parkinson's at the age of 34. I was very lucky to catch it so early, so I have more time to appreciate the life I have while I still have it. I'm sad to admit I don't know much about the person who posted this video but you have my deep and sincerest appreciation for what people are saying you've done. God bless.
All these defective docs should be recalled immediately. We got a whole nation wide industry of them who treat it just like another customer service position at a store.
People have to realize that You’re just an interruption to their next Tee time, vacation trip or lay with a mistress. Just like taking your car to a mechanic, that guy would rather be looking on FB Market place than working on your POS for $140 an hour labor rate .
@@RustyZipper then they shouldn't have signed up for that job. Malpractice ain't no joke. You shouldn't have a job that people's lives depend on if you aren't going to treat it as such. There are plenty of other employment options out there
Don't tell Ed or Doug when they meet you at the big dealership in the sky, but you were my favourite out of everyone on VINwiki. Thank you for entertaining me all these years, and even wishing me happy birthday a few years back. Rest easy, Rabbit.🏆
My man might finally get an EBay account! I can hear it now about St Peter‘this guy was dealing with 9 entrances to heaven a month and he’s dealing it with the person selling 9 coffins a week on eBay!. What’s really funny, is I had St Peter palm me a 20 to get me in’ Mate I’ll miss this guys stories
I'm so sad. I looked for his stories everyday. I have laughed and cried. I had an uncle who traded cars all the time and had the best stories. You will be missed.
This video was recommended by TH-cam and I've no idea why, I'm a 65 year old woman with no interest in cars at all but I'm now sobbing and wishing this man is in a peaceful place, my son hasn't been well lately and I'm getting him to go to the doctors today, he's been coughing up a lung and really worried, thank you Rabbit for doing this goodbye video, I think you're about to save a lot of lives - RIP beautiful soul ❤️
Never heard of Rob Pitts but I’m glad that TH-cam recommended this to me because it reminds me how to be present in my life. The comments have also helped immensely. I wish Rob’s family and friends much strength and that they can soread the inspiration that they received from him.
@LiseDominique I think the bit of advice he gave toward the end of this video needed to be heard by a great many people. The algorithm did a good thing bringing us here. You're absolutely right, it's a sign.
I just finished 2nd sezon of TexMex and I’m in tears … I love watching it, the most important was to see a “family” which support each other, the love the passion, Rabbit was always nice, and caring person, I’m feel so bad he is not around anymore, and I feel terrible that I just found out that Rob is not around anymore 😢 He was truly great Man with BIG hearth ❤
I usually don't comment on videos, but this guy was a legend in the automotive world. His stories were legendary and genuine. My favourite story has to be about the one when he sold 8 cars in one day - "Mr. 8 Cars In One Day"!
This is true, and still, reading the comments it seems that this video has brought a lot of us to share stories, and send good messages to one another. One of the few times I'm glad the algorithm showed me something that was nothing to do with me, and all to do with us all.
Absolutely loved hearing you tell stories I didn’t t know him personally but wished I had. Rip to a legend and prayers to your family and friends to get through this difficult time.
What a kick in the gut. When the world loses a great story teller, it becomes a darker place. Everyone is lucky to have so many of your stories to watch and enjoy forever
Without a doubt, one of the best storytellers to have ever lived. Thank you for the hours of entertainment and inspiration, we'll be praying for you and your family. Til next time, my friend.

Thank you Rabbit for your stories and your shop on Netflix. You have been a great person every time you spoke your voice was captivating. A person of wisdom and amazing personality. You will be missed but remembered. Shout out to the boarderland crew your hard work and great TV entertainment lives on. Thank you Live laugh love. I hope the show continues in rabbits name. All the best. Love Harry.
@straightballin my dad seans lawns says you have the best yt name ever, he said it’s like if jim jones had a burner account but I don’t get it but he said you would yes byeeee
I didn’t know who Mr Pitts was until today when TH-cam brought this video to my attention. I’m sitting here bawling my eyes out at the current moment. Mr Pitts you seem like a real one bro, may you rest in peace! To all the family and friends my sincerest condolences 🩵
I’ve enjoyed Rabbit’s stories for a while. My heart goes out to his wife, family and friends. I lost my wife of 26 years on Sept 3rd of this year because of an undiagnosed brain tumor. The emptiness is almost unbearable. Cancer in all its forms has taken so many good people. My condolences to all.
In 1970 we were at my grandfathers four boys. We were 9yrs old and 7 yrs old. Yep mom had two sets of twins. We kept saying we wished we were older. Grandfather told us to come with him we got some bailing twine 9 pieces and he cut them in half at the knot. He then had us tie the string together to make a long string and then tied it in the middle of a stick. He then had us start winding up the string. It first it was painfully slow then it became fast and easy. This was because the previously wound string made the stick fatter and didn’t need the same amount of rotations to get the string section on the stick. When finished he said boys this string is a symbol of your life don’t wish it away. Your later years will be here before you know it make good use of every year you have. They go away faster in the end. Life is but a vapor. Thanks Grandfather!!
So so so true - what an epic grandfather. I remember sitting with my late grandfather when he reached the ripe old age of 96 - and he said to me - Ask every 96 year old who wants to by 97 - all of us would take that. He passed at 98 in 2019, he was bedridden with cancer and a shadow of his former self, a former RAF WW2 veteran, and had worked until his mid 60's. I miss him everyday. At his funeral I spoke poignantly about him for ten minutes - they gave me a five minute slot - but pointed out that he was a legend in his own lunchtime, but will always be a legend in all of mine.
@@meab12 I'm 41 as well and couldn't agree more. Perfect analogy. We're old enough to see the writing on the wall and still young enough to do something about it.
It makes me smile to see all the heart felt comments for this man who I never met but know he was a good man doing the best he could in this crazy world. I guess we are all a little crazy trying to be happy and living life the best we can. Looking at all the comments it gives me hope that the world is good. I believe Good will always rise above the bad. Rest In Peace Rob.
Man...Rabbit sure knew how to tell a good story. My personal favorite is the one he told about his first day as a salesman at a small time Ford dealership where their best salesman sold like 10 cars a month...Rabbit talks to a guy about an F150, sells him on that F150, then the guy turns around and buys a whole fleet of them for the business he owned. I don't remember how many trucks the guy bought but it was quite a few. Rabbit had to have been the best story teller I've ever seen....and he had a lot of them. He may have been taken too soon, but something tells me he lived a very full life. RIP Rob.
Never knew the guy in person.. But I used to always, re-watch his stories on Vinwiki.. How I completely missed he had a youtube channel is beyond me.. Since Vinwiki shown Rabbit I was hooked and now hearing he's ascended to another level is quite.. Sad.. Cancer is fucking shit.. Lost my grandma to it this year.. Diagnosed.. Weirdly around the same time as Rabbit actually.. But she lost her life very quickly, a month after she finally gave up the ghost. Rabbit always had the good stories, the ones we all love, the humour we all love and click with, ugh.
I never met this man or his material but happen to receive a notification and a loss of any good man always heavy on the heart,but like that good ole’ man said…. “There's no way around grief and loss: you can dodge all you want, but sooner or later you just have to go into it, through it, and, hopefully, come out the other side.”-Johnny Cash
I remember him telling the story of his first wife, what he thought was his kid, etc. He told that about the time I went through my divorce... His upbeat attitude and smiling got me through some really dark days.... Glad he finally found his one and only, and she found him before his days were done. Everyone deserves that.
I just finished watching season 2 of Tex Mex Motors and was shocked at his weight loss. Did not realize that he had passed away until the end of the show. If you have not watched it you should. Very colorful and entertaining guy…very down to earth also. He made the show
You know I’ve been dealing with this cough for over a month. They give me an inhaler and antibiotics at urgent care and it gets better but never goes away. Watching this I’m calling first thing tomorrow to setup an appointment with a non urgent care doctor and get to the bottom of this. Rip man. Loved your voice and all your great stories
My cough was caused by a gluten allergy. Took awhile to figure it out. No more gluten / bread etc 😢 but no more coughing 😃 I can't complain. Simple solution.
Definitely see a pulmonary specialist. I’ve been battling a cough for nearly a year. Turns out it’s a bacterial infection of my right lung. The bacteria is present in soil and water and wet places (sinks, etc). It commonly infects people while they are hospitalized. The bacteria is called Psudomonas. There are 140 varieties. I would get antibiotics/steroids and things would improve for 5-6 , then symptoms would return. My daughter is a medical lab technician in Texas. I sent her a picture of my sputum and she knew what is was. I had a bronchoscope on 8/25. I’m currently hospitalized in Rome Italy. Do get yourself to a specialist. Good luck!
I second the gluten. I had/have the same problem. But also was the grease and sugars in everything I was eating/drinking. Had the cough for about a year. Went to like 4-5 doctors a few times each. None of them could figure it out. I narrowed it down to bread, but still didn't know wtf. My dad ended up finding me on the ground unresponsive the day after my birthday 2 years ago. No idea how I'm even here still. But it ended up being really high blood sugar causing the nonstop acid reflux like symptoms. I could blow my nose constantly all day long and would blow out thick white mucus ALL day. Back of neck, knees, and armpits were also getting darker. All signs of diabetes. Was in a coma for 3-4 days. Spent a month trying to walk/move around again until I was back to normal for the most part. Changed my diet over night (super difficult), and by the end of that first month, the cough was gone. Spend the money and have blood work done. Ask about your blood sugar. Diabetes is VERY prevalent these days with all the easy access to junk food these days.
ONE LOVE RABBIT JUST WATCHED ALL OF SEASON 2 tonight and I said to my wife how crazy it was that you were so small in it compared to season 1. I knew something was up. I’m really really glad you got to finish out season 1-2 man. Fly high and look upon us brother. I really wished I got to meet you and the crew. Rest in Peace sir!
Rob’s stories help me relive my youth working in several dealerships through my 20’s. I learned so much about people, myself and “the business”. RIP Rabbit. You will be missed.
First ever TH-cam comment here. From watching him on vinwiki in middle school up until most recently as a collage graduate and business owner. He has always told great stories that make you laugh and most contain a lesson about life. The mustang stories from high-school, the old man with the truck, the water company man, and the bike wreck. I have always loved Rabbit and he will be greatly missed. RIP Robb Pitts.
Enjoy your new journey Rabbit! You lived an incredible and inspiring life here on Earth good brother. You will be missed, but every time I think of you I will be smiling!
Stomach cancer is so sneaky, its not fair. My uncle had pains, was flown into the city hospital after the one up north found a mass. He was taken into surgery and never woke up. No warning, no chance to say goodbye. He was "healthy as a horse" cutting wood, plowing roads etc. I beg everyone who watches this mans video to see a Dr regularly! A once a year checkup is SO important. Men are so resistant to this for some reason and you all deserve to live long healthy lives, and your yearly checkup is a big part of making that happen. ❤❤❤
A yearly checkup at the normal doctor's isn't going to catch much at all. This guy went to the hospital several times before finding anything. The only real preventative is yearly baseline FULL blood work including cancer marker tests (easier to go to a private lab and pay a few hundred bucks than going to your normal doctor who likes to order one blood test at a time to milk insurance. Not to mention if you tell your doc why you're doing this they'll think your nuts and probably write your a hypochondriac on your chart). Then if you can afford it and want to be sure, get full organ scans done with an MRI every two years. Call around and ask for cash prices and you'll be surprised how affordable some things can be. What they charge insurance $3,500 for can be had for under $1k a lot of times. A grand over 2 years is like $40 a month.
I lost my mom 16 years ago 8-10-08 to colon cancer. One of the hardest things I have ever watched, was her laying in her bed in hospice, and slowly dying for a week. She passed in her sleep, at 245pm Sunday afternoon, to I Can Only Imagine, by Mercy Me, playing on the TV. When I entered her room for the first time, she came out of her medically induced coma, sat up, looked at me, and said my name, "Jeff." Those were the last words she ever spoke to me, before she passed away 6 days later. She was surrounded by myself, my brother, sister, dad, my nephew, and niece. She was only 66. I miss her everyday.
I've had a similar experience with both my grandma's and my dad, one also had colon cancer and was really weak, but then one day, as if she was cured, she was full of energy, talked a lot, walked around and outside, for almost the whole day, as if she was young again. Then in the early morning the next day, around 5am, we got a call she passed away in her sleep. The other grandma had lymphatic cancer, it spread throughout her body and they couldn't do anything anymore. She suffered for a few months, was heavily dosed with medication, especially morphine, which in the end didn't even help much anymore, wasn't really lucid, basically in her own world. But she did "wake up" twice, first time it was only my mom there, they talked for a bit and she went back to sleep, but was lucid again the next day and everyone was called in. She wasn't able to move, but she did talk to us a bit. She passed away a few hours later. My dad, sadly an alcoholic, killed his liver and due to his age and weight, we knew he wouldn't get any new liver, not in the time he'd need them. So he was slowly dying for 6 months, due to his liver failing, his blood was full of toxic waste and he had a lot of delirium, to the point of me and my mom starting to resent him even if it wasn't his fault. Was in the middle of rona in 2022/2023 so no help from any medical institution. His last 2 weeks were intense, from being better to being bad to being better again, to being bad and then, the sudden energy spike, which gave us the heads-up to spend as much time as possible with him. The next day he was already in the last stage before death, you could hear from the breathing. He wasn't awake, but responded to me grabbing his hand. We told him it was ok to go, a priest came by an hour later for the last prayer thing and about an hour after that we got the call. i've seen this happen many times and warned my friends when they told me one of their family members, who was basically on their death bed, suddenly had energy, i just told them to spend as much time with them as possible, because this was the last time they would be able to spend time with them. Spend time with your family, you never know when it might be the last time.
My dad passed away earlier this year. He got very sick on Christmas Day. He was at work and sepsis came on very fast and sudden. The med centre at his work refused to send him to the hospital or even home as he was dying and because work is an hour out of town and they provide company busses he was stuck there. By the time he got to the hospital himself the damage was already done to his organs. He did recover from the infection and would have recovered if he got to the hospital soon enough but the infection did too much damage to his organs. He passed away 3 weeks after in hospital, was in a coma since the day after being at the hospital and he never did wake up. The last thing he did what I seen him do was raise his hand like he wanted a glass of water but the nurses wouldn’t give it to him. The last day we spoke was on my birthday before Christmas when he came over and as we worked through Christmas we were going to have our Christmas Day on the 27th instead that never happened because he was in the ICU in a coma by then. He also passed away a week before he turned 60,, only 59, he was going to put in for retirement then to retire this summer with the company he’s worked 40 years for. That company refuses to accept any responsibility for his passing and my mom is terrified to go after this multi billion dollar company because of retaliation. It’s so hard without him. They even cut my dads life insurance in half while he was in the ICU and my mom only got half of it. 40 years of hard work literally controlling the crushers and pipelines making the company tens of millions if not a lot more a day in production and has never crashed the line unlike many of the new people.
Lost my mom when she was 47. It’s been 27 years and I still miss her everyday. I’m just appreciative that I had a great mom for 20 years. Not everyone is so lucky.
I'm gonna miss ya rob. I hope your up there with my friend Benjamin. He needs a good man to teach him to drive and have a nice car. And he can show you how to play guitar , you guys will be best friends. They always take people away from us when we need them the most. I thank you for all your stories and the joy you brought me and I hope you're up there with my best friend in one day we will join you up there in heaven but until the. Look out for us
I just finished putting a new CV axle, ball joint and rear bumper on my truck, opened Facebook and saw this posted. We were just sharing some of his stories in the shop, unknowingly. And that is a true testament to the impact he made and the legacy he has left behind.
I don't own a TV. I've never seen this show. But this popped up on my feed on TH-cam. Apparently, the universe/ algorythem believes that this man's passing is Noteworthy. So I went and watched several videos. I feel like I just missed out on something fantastic. A man with the ability to impact lives, and inspire people. I am glad that he lived a full and happy life. 💐 🌹 🌸 🏵 🌹 🌸 🏵 🌼 💐
There’s nothing “Full” about passing away at 45yo! Did he make a positive impact on the world…. 100%! Did he get to do things that most of us only DREAM of doing…..? Abso-freakin-lutely! But, due to apathetic doctors & big medical mistakes, this YOUNG guy lost his life far too soon! (Sorry, I’m not trying to come at you personally, I recently lost my dad due to very similar circumstances, so I’m a bit touchy about losing people too soon)
@@Beautifully_Broken I hear you. God, do I hear you. The Veteran's Administration had a policy that you can't get a colonoscopy until you're 50. One of my best friends had been trying to get one..but the VA denied it. so when they finally changed their policy to allow for younger ages.. it was too late. Now I have to watch him fade away.. bit by bit. Chemotherapy and radiation have ravaged his system. His smiles, once ready and free, are more rare now.. with an unhealthy dollop of pain and sadness. Once active, he now is too tired to do anything, anymore. He sleeps 12-16 hours a day. All I can do is be there for him. All I can do is pray.
I am not sure why TH-cam sent me this notification of Rob Pitts, I never watched any of his creations in past. But surely this is the best recommendation by TH-cam so far.. Rest in Peace Sir Rob 🙇🏻 May god give strength to your loved ones in this tough time! 🙏
I've wasted days, weeks, months, and years. Illness has turned into agoraphobia. Every one of you who can get out there, go and LIVE! I took living for granted, and now I just exist. 😢
Wow, I'm floored right now. The last episode I thought he was looking a little skinny. I'm so sorry bud, and can't help feeling sad for you. Lost my mom to cancer. This hits pretty hard. I too have been feeling off lately and have tried telling my doctor that something isn't right but nobody will listen. Even er doctors. They all think it's just in my head. It's hard to ask questions when nobody wants to smart them.. Rip brother.
Rob, My name is James. I live in Dallas. Born in '77. All the IROC stories and chevy truck tastes and foxbody history... I was there with you. When you guys from different channels gather, I always feel like you speak my piece for me. It's like you are playing the role of us southern boys. It's like you are my nascar driver. I'm routing for you boy! I'm cheering you on! Can you hear me? "GET'EM ROBBY!!!!" "GO! GO! GO!" WE LOVE YOU BROTHER! Sending you strength and peace through Jesus!
Rob, the fact I could reach out no matter how long and it was just like we hadn’t skipped a beat. You set a standard of telling stories, and living a life to create them. Goodbye isn’t appropriate, we borrow the German Auf Wiedersehen, until we meet again.
Holy cow! I'm literally just finding out now. Over the years I've loved listening to Rabbit tell stories about cars. Particularly the one about the man who emptied out his life savings to buy land that would be needed for a highway in Carolina and became a multimillionaire selling that land to the state. This is really sad news. Rabbit seemed like a guy that if I met him tomorrow we could hang out for hours swapping stories about cars, women, life, and motorsports. I hope his family knows how far he touched lives just by retelling his stories on the internet. Rest easy good man, you will be missed but remembered with genuine kindness
Because more money is made treating the problem than actually fixing the problem!!! Healthcare and buying a car is a great analogy, The DealerShip(Healthcare Industry) wants you to finance the car and make money from the markup, and then make more money from the interest(Treating the symptoms) instead of buying the car in cash(1 and done). Capitalism is like a beautiful person...But this person is Bi-Polar with schizophrenia.
@@stephaniebelgard6646 doctors have difficulty diagnosing gall stones I have more luck with google than seeing a doctor I am glad I found 1 doctor that figured it out
What is really sad is when people figure out why they are having issues and don’t tell their family that they have Dementia and Alzheimer’s had this happen to my grandmother, and it was one of the most depressing things to find her medication four years later when she was supposed to be taking it so that she wouldn’t degrade so fast, but she didn’t take it and she hid the medication from us and wouldn’t go pick the medication up that way no one would know at least until it got too late and then when she died, she had no brain thing was melted it was terrible
I don't know how this came into my feed for me to watch amidst all the crap I scroll through but it was for a reason. Rest well Rob. I a complete stranger needed this video. I won't go into details but I stopped being thankful and stopped caring about myself a month ago. Just going through the motions and wallowing and thinking I'm not enough. I sit here in the dark, crying in my bed but your story just filled me with hope. An energy. Maybe it's your story. Your spirit. But wherever your soul is now. Thank you. I wish your family and loved ones the best in their lives. I know if your passing hit me this hard I know they must be going through tough times now. Love A stranger and another human
Hey everyone, this is Jeff (Rob's Videographer). I am with him now in Hospice. He just passed at 21:45 on 08/25/2024. I will be sure to preserve the channel. He will be missed and we will never forget him! ♥️
Thank you Jeff! this is so sad.
I'm so sorry to hear. RIP Rob.
Damn. RIP
Thanks Jeff, this is sad news.
We will always love you dude! Thanks for always telling great stories. RIP brother!
Just watched Tex Mex Motors S2 and the ending hit me like a truck. Rest in peace, brother. You are such a fun fella.
Man this is exactly why I'm here. The ending hit me like a ton of bricks. I had absolutely no idea how much Rabbit meant to me and finding out about his passing is really affecting me in ways I cannot understand. I loved every second of Tex Mex motors and now I know why. RIP man 😭
Huhu same😢
Had some bad feelings seeing him so skinny in S2, but clearly wasn't ready for such short notice...very sad
So sad 😢RIP “Rabbit” 🙏🏻
I'm from Brazil, I finished watching season 2 now and I was very sad
I have never heard of Rob "Rabbit" Pitts until today. For some reason, TH-cam felt I needed to see this. As a medical practitioner, it hit hard when the words "Always ask questions. Always get answers" came across the screen. Listen to your body and always seek answers.

TH-cam algorithm works in mysterious ways.
I have pissed off several doctors over the years because of my reluctance to just take the meds and move on. I appreciate your acknowledgement of his words very much.
I have absolutely no idea who Rob pitts is or was and like the dr, this just came across my feed. For what reason I do not know. Even though this is the first time I’m hearing about you It is still a punch to the gut to learn of your passing. Rest in peace Sir.
that really sucks you just found it. he has some great stories.
I had no idea that he passed away. I just finished watching Texas/Mex motors and I saw the memorial. I was floored. Listening to the last bit of him talking about 20 more years with Scooter. I am heartbroken over the news. Rest in peace my brother. You are going to be missed.
Somos 2 descobri hoje que pena 😢
I Just finished season 2... 😭😭
Same here 😢 the last bit of the episode hits you different now...
Just finished watching season 2 with my hubby and couldn't believe the ending, had to Google to see if it was real 😢 just watched this and sat sobbing as I was reading it out to my hubby 😭
Same here, hit me hard at the end. I too had to Google it, for clarification. So sad, he was making a difference with a supportive crew...
"Luckily she doesn't mind doing long-term things with a short-term guy." Damn. That hit hard.
Definitely hit the heart hard on that one
i kept it together till then...
He will be missed. What a light.
Heavy line for sure.
Think of the bravery writting that line. What a stud. God bless
I don’t think he understands how many grown ass men are sitting in their living room, watching this on their phone, bawling their eyes out… Rob was a real one…
Never had a simple video hit me this hard
Your not wrong brother, was just a good dude, had his flaws as well a dude, but he was genuinely a good, real dude
Right here man. Rob was one of those people that could just grab you and make you pay attention. A true car salesman in the best sense of it. Maybe in the worse sense of it too haha
Haven't bawled like this in over a decade.
Yes he was

“ if your body is telling you something is wrong, don’t stop until you figure it out” godsmacked. That just hit me like a ton of bricks. R.I.P.
Agreed. He was 45. That's not supposed to happen. Christ, I'm 42. My doctor did a physical and blood test 6 months ago, and I dont trust it now.
TH-cam never fails to recommend something good after it is too late.
I've been recommended like 3 people's post-mortem videos in the past week or two. Never heard of any of the people before, but it still really pulls at your heart :(
Never to late to go back and watch some of his content.
The brutal irony that this is his most viewed video.

No idea who this is, Never watched a car video in my life, but this notification popped up, and I clicked on it, curious.

This hit hard. Sitting here with my husband who is in final stages of cancer. He opted to stop all treatment so we can have some time to love one another without appointments and treatments and him being too sick to even eat hanging over our heads. They have chased his cancer for years, never finding it. He's atypical. But, in weeks or months - we pray for much longer, I will be a widow. No one else knows your body like you do. Pay attention.
I can’t even begin to imagine.. I’m happy for you that you get to say goodbye and make precious memories ❤ there are some life books, where an individual fills in the blanks and tells parts of their life, perhaps you’d both find comfort and joy in filling it out and knowing his stories can still be shared after he has passed. Lots of love ❤
Praying 🙏
Praying for you and your husband. God bless
Bless you for being by his side through sickness and health.
I don't know who you are. But I came across your comment. Please listen to these instructions for your husband. Juice Red cabbage, it's purple and strong. 3-4oz in the morning, 3-4oz when he goes to bed. Juice carrots and whole kale as well and Let him drink both of those juices once daily. For 4 days. He will regain strength, his body will heal. Please listen. If He can't take anything else give him the red cabbage juice twice a day. I'm begging you ma'am. Let those who have ears, hear.
I'm not sure what led the algorithm to suggest this to me, but Godspeed Rob. 🕊

Same here! Rest easy, condolences to all who loved him. 🙏🏼

Same here. Algorithm driven to see this at the top of my feed. What a life, and what an blessing to be able to say goodbye over time. Many never get that chance. Live and Love Every Day, for you never know what awaits you.
Yup same here.
I am a pastor in rural central Michigan, crying in my office…..
While Rabbit has ZERO idea of who I am, TH-cam, the Internet and VinWiki made me feel as if Rabbit was a good friend.
His story telling has inspired my preaching and I have even used a story or two of his in a sermon here and there.
Praying the Peace of the Lord be upon all his family, friends and fans!!
Never heard of him until this post today. I hope he knew Jesus.
Rob’s friend Ed Bolian shared the Gospel with him and I believe he accepted Christ.

I'm crushed about this. I just watched season 2 and was so sad to learn of Rabbit's passing. What an awesome guy and a great show, I love the cars you build. It won't be the same without him, but it will still be great. I'm so sorry to his friends and family. RIP Rabbit you will be missed by many!

When you said the 90s trucks were about to shoot up in value I bought seven of them in different conditions I got in the garage fix them up when the market finally hit like you said it would I sold everyone of them and fulfilled the dream I had of buying my mom a brand new Cadillac and it’s all because of you Brother 🙏🏼🥺❤️
God bless you 🙏
That's good, real good, man.
Should have given her a mint 90's truck. Far better than any new vehicle.

It took me a minute to realize that this was Rob. The Rob I've listened to every story he's told on VinWiki. The Rob with the unmistakable, southern accent, smooth-as-butter voice. I could listen to Rob read a cookbook.
I don't know why this hit so hard. Gonna miss Rob. Lots. He seemed to have a story for everything.
Thanks for everything!
I have never heard of Rob "Rabbit" Pitts until today. For some reason, TH-cam felt I needed to see this. This is a reminder for all of us to maintain our humanity. Much Love and Blessings to Rob and everyone who knows/loves him. ❤

Same here!❤
I work at O'Reilly auto parts. Rabbit has taught me things i never knew that I needed to know about customer service. He has made me better at my job by telling his stories. I miss him as much as i miss my grandma. I'm seriously considering driving 12 hours just to pay my respects at his funeral. I've never met this man but i feel like he is like an uncle to me. He was gone too soon. I love you Rob Pitts. Until next time Rabbit. I'll see you in heaven my brother.
It’s worth it, he’s worth it. Drive the 12 hours! I almost want to drive from California to be there. I feel the exact same way. I would do the drive if I didn’t have to work. I’d be there in a heartbeat
If you do make that trip I can guarantee you that you will meet and make friends with some folks for a lifetime.
That's beautiful. You should go.❤
You are loved and missed in the uk Rab, sweet dreams and love to your family x😊
Go, if you feel to, go. 1 life.......
I also just finished watching season 2 of TexMex. Absolutely devastated to read that Rabbit had died. My condolences go out to his family and friends. Truly sorry to hear the news.

This hit hard. I found a beautiful CK truck for sale whilst looking around and sent Mr. Pitts a message via LinkedIn on 8/12. I instantly thought of him and figured I’d send it to him.
Ironically, I’ve had stomach pains, acid reflux, and random vomiting for about three weeks. I’m otherwise a very healthy guy.
After watching this, I’m booking an appointment with my doctor. Mr. Pitts reminded me of my father. Good Ol’ Boy with a witty sense of humor and the “I’ll be fine” attitude.
Prayers to the family, and I’m sure I’ll be okay, but you’ve inspired me to finally get checked out.
RIP.
Please be well,
Update this after your appointment
I sincerely hope you're okay. And if you're not, I sincerely hope they find things out early enough to stop them.
I always loved listening to Rob and although he’s only 8 years older than me he always reminded me of my dad. Be well, I hope you get it figured out :)
I’d like to eat the update also
I am deeply moved by this, this is my exact story!! I searched for 9 months of doctor appointments until I finally went to the ER and was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer....I have had all the treatments and 2 years ago my remission came back. I am stage 4 incurable I am now living until I die...I love this message. ❤ RIP fellow traveller condolences to friends and family.
Grieve, Love big, pray hard, put down phones and memorize faces, sing as loud as you can and hit the notes your voice was never meant to hit, annoy your family member a little extra for a laugh, cry a lot but make the tears happy as much sad and bittersweet, kiss slowly and hug even slower and very tight, go get your feet on the fresh earth, look up at night and truly wish on a star, take in the smells of coffee and cakes just to enjoy the scent in a way you never have before, look at how beautiful this earth is and take it in on a deeper sense, but Also grieve ! Not only grieve but bawl your eyes out for the loss of time for you and your family and friends. Don’t be afraid to cry in front of them because it will let them know it’s ok to cry with you and then you can grieve together so you don’t worry about how they will be when you aren’t there because you will have already moved on together in your separate ways comfortable from all the love you shown in those final days till you meet again ! Let all the anger and grief flow through everyone with you together for the time that was taken from you too soon and how unfair it is, now you can move on to being able to openly give and receive the best and purest love you’ve ever know. To say all the words you were so unsure of, to let people know you forgive them and they can forgive you too, and now Love! Love purely and with emotion showing through your eyes and theirs till their soul shines through! so they know how you feel and most importantly look straight in their eyes as you say I love you but don’t focus on trying to capture it all on a phone.. keep those very special moments close to your heart and so will the people around you.. a bucket list doesn’t have to be grand adventures nor really should it I think. ..but simply taking the time to enjoy what you may have looked over, love harder than you ever thought you could, and finally feel free knowing you are leaving a legacy of love behind that many people would kill for from a loved one. When the time comes and it will for you part ways for a while they will feel how you’re content and you will know you loved them more in this short time that most get in a life time and they will get through it yet they will never forget those wonderful last times spent with you. ❤

I had the pleasure of meeting Rob a couple years back. My grandfather had just passed and Robs shop wasn’t far from where my grandad lived. I reached out to Rob to see if I could swing by and check it out since I was in the area. He sat there and talked to me and my dad like we had been lifelong friends! He truly was a great guy. His small gesture of letting me come check out his shop made what me and my dad were going through a little easier! Whether he knew it or not he made a huge impact on so many lives. RIP Rabbit you will be missed!

I cannot express enough how true this is. I saw a dozen doctors, and every single one would explain away my symptoms like they were nothing. Finally I got one that would actually listen and put the pieces together, and was diagnosed with Parkinson's at the age of 34. I was very lucky to catch it so early, so I have more time to appreciate the life I have while I still have it. I'm sad to admit I don't know much about the person who posted this video but you have my deep and sincerest appreciation for what people are saying you've done. God bless.
All these defective docs should be recalled immediately. We got a whole nation wide industry of them who treat it just like another customer service position at a store.
Try the carnivore diet. Many people with conditions like Parkinsons and MS, etc have managed to reverse these conditions. It's amazing what it can do.
People have to realize that You’re just an interruption to their next Tee time, vacation trip or lay with a mistress. Just like taking your car to a mechanic, that guy would rather be looking on FB Market place than working on your POS for $140 an hour labor rate .

I'm so sad. I looked for his stories everyday. I have laughed and cried. I had an uncle who traded cars all the time and had the best stories. You will be missed.
First saw you on VinWiki you were my favorite presenter on there by far, You sir are one of the best story tellers of all time. Rest easy my friend.
This video was recommended by TH-cam and I've no idea why, I'm a 65 year old woman with no interest in cars at all but I'm now sobbing and wishing this man is in a peaceful place, my son hasn't been well lately and I'm getting him to go to the doctors today, he's been coughing up a lung and really worried, thank you Rabbit for doing this goodbye video, I think you're about to save a lot of lives - RIP beautiful soul ❤️
Ma'am, he was a wonderful man. I wish your son the best. You should listen to the way he told some of his stories, I bet you will enjoy them.
Hope everything went well at the doctors.
Same here. Just popped up on my feed. No more pain. Rest well 🕊️
I hope your son is doing well.
Same it was just recommended to me but it means a lot to me
Never heard of Rob Pitts but I’m glad that TH-cam recommended this to me because it reminds me how to be present in my life.
The comments have also helped immensely.
I wish Rob’s family and friends much strength and that they can soread the inspiration that they received from him.
❤
Same! It's some kind of sign maybe?
@@LiseDominiquesame! Now I’m sitting here bawling my eyes out 😭
@LiseDominique I think the bit of advice he gave toward the end of this video needed to be heard by a great many people. The algorithm did a good thing bringing us here. You're absolutely right, it's a sign.
I just finished 2nd sezon of TexMex and I’m in tears … I love watching it, the most important was to see a “family” which support each other, the love the passion, Rabbit was always nice, and caring person, I’m feel so bad he is not around anymore, and I feel terrible that I just found out that Rob is not around anymore 😢 He was truly great Man with BIG hearth ❤
54 yr old male in same situation tears falling into my coffee this Am. Beautifully simple and sincere. Take care of yourself, Gabriel
No sir. U take care 😢
Be well, Gabriel!❤
Gabriel, any will to try things like alternative medicine? I have a reason I'm asking.
What were your symptoms and diagnosis?
Praying for you man. Hang in there
I usually don't comment on videos, but this guy was a legend in the automotive world. His stories were legendary and genuine. My favourite story has to be about the one when he sold 8 cars in one day - "Mr. 8 Cars In One Day"!
It’s crazy how a lot of us got this notification and don’t know who this is, he was my age and seemed to have lived a great life. May he RIP❤️
This is true, and still, reading the comments it seems that this video has brought a lot of us to share stories, and send good messages to one another. One of the few times I'm glad the algorithm showed me something that was nothing to do with me, and all to do with us all.
I’m glad word got around
Absolutely loved hearing you tell stories I didn’t t know him personally but wished I had. Rip to a legend and prayers to your family and friends to get through this difficult time.
"the only thing in this town that pulls out is the couch" one of so many lines and stories that I will never forget.
What a kick in the gut. When the world loses a great story teller, it becomes a darker place.
Everyone is lucky to have so many of your stories to watch and enjoy forever
Without a doubt, one of the best storytellers to have ever lived. Thank you for the hours of entertainment and inspiration, we'll be praying for you and your family.
Til next time, my friend.
We love you rabbit!
Prayers Rabbit, I pray you get better. Your sir are an amazing artist. I hope you kick this thing man.
R.I.P. prayers for his family & all the people who he has touched.

Don’t make this about you.

I’ve enjoyed Rabbit’s stories for a while. My heart goes out to his wife, family and friends. I lost my wife of 26 years on Sept 3rd of this year because of an undiagnosed brain tumor. The emptiness is almost unbearable. Cancer in all its forms has taken so many good people. My condolences to all.
In 1970 we were at my grandfathers four boys. We were 9yrs old and 7 yrs old. Yep mom had two sets of twins. We kept saying we wished we were older. Grandfather told us to come with him we got some bailing twine 9 pieces and he cut them in half at the knot. He then had us tie the string together to make a long string and then tied it in the middle of a stick. He then had us start winding up the string. It first it was painfully slow then it became fast and easy. This was because the previously wound string made the stick fatter and didn’t need the same amount of rotations to get the string section on the stick. When finished he said boys this string is a symbol of your life don’t wish it away. Your later years will be here before you know it make good use of every year you have. They go away faster in the end. Life is but a vapor. Thanks Grandfather!!
Thats a superb analogy. I'm 41, and every year feels like 2 or 3 months used to feel.

So so so true - what an epic grandfather.
I remember sitting with my late grandfather when he reached the ripe old age of 96 - and he said to me - Ask every 96 year old who wants to by 97 - all of us would take that. He passed at 98 in 2019, he was bedridden with cancer and a shadow of his former self, a former RAF WW2 veteran, and had worked until his mid 60's.
I miss him everyday.
At his funeral I spoke poignantly about him for ten minutes - they gave me a five minute slot - but pointed out that he was a legend in his own lunchtime, but will always be a legend in all of mine.
@@meab12 I'm 41 as well and couldn't agree more. Perfect analogy. We're old enough to see the writing on the wall and still young enough to do something about it.
My saying is...Life is like a roll of toilet paper...the closer you get to the end... the faster it goes
Preserving the channel is a fantastic idea. Condolences for everyone,
Rabbit was an amazing man.
The algorithm brought me here from Australia... RIP Rabbit
I second this.

Aye.
It makes me smile to see all the heart felt comments for this man who I never met but know he was a good man doing the best he could in this crazy world. I guess we are all a little crazy trying to be happy and living life the best we can. Looking at all the comments it gives me hope that the world is good. I believe Good will always rise above the bad. Rest In Peace Rob.
Thanks for the advice. “They treated my symptoms “ hits home. Medical system is a pain to get real answers from. Peace & love to you, whoever you are.
In the U.S. , yes.
When bill gates is in charge. Sure is a pain.
It was sent to my phone as well... I guess they know who've suffered from loss lately... 🙏🏽
Man...Rabbit sure knew how to tell a good story. My personal favorite is the one he told about his first day as a salesman at a small time Ford dealership where their best salesman sold like 10 cars a month...Rabbit talks to a guy about an F150, sells him on that F150, then the guy turns around and buys a whole fleet of them for the business he owned. I don't remember how many trucks the guy bought but it was quite a few. Rabbit had to have been the best story teller I've ever seen....and he had a lot of them. He may have been taken too soon, but something tells me he lived a very full life. RIP Rob.
Never knew the guy in person.. But I used to always, re-watch his stories on Vinwiki.. How I completely missed he had a youtube channel is beyond me.. Since Vinwiki shown Rabbit I was hooked and now hearing he's ascended to another level is quite.. Sad.. Cancer is fucking shit.. Lost my grandma to it this year.. Diagnosed.. Weirdly around the same time as Rabbit actually.. But she lost her life very quickly, a month after she finally gave up the ghost. Rabbit always had the good stories, the ones we all love, the humour we all love and click with, ugh.
Same here
I never met this man or his material but happen to receive a notification and a loss of any good man always heavy on the heart,but like that good ole’ man said….
“There's no way around grief and loss: you can dodge all you want, but sooner or later you just have to go into it, through it, and, hopefully, come out the other side.”-Johnny Cash
I never saw one of his videos before. This is a hell of a start. Rest In Peace and thank you.
Dang. Never heard of this guy but TH-cam saw fit to bring him to my attention today. Didn’t intend to cry today but this got to me. RIP mate.
Dude got some stories on here he been around in the car world and tire business 😂
I remember him telling the story of his first wife, what he thought was his kid, etc. He told that about the time I went through my divorce...
His upbeat attitude and smiling got me through some really dark days....
Glad he finally found his one and only, and she found him before his days were done. Everyone deserves that.
Amen. Life is shorter than we think!!!!
I just finished watching season 2 of Tex Mex Motors and was shocked at his weight loss. Did not realize that he had passed away until the end of the show. If you have not watched it you should. Very colorful and entertaining guy…very down to earth also. He made the show
Never heard of this guy till now. Seems the world is going to be a darker place without him. RIP Sir. Love from 🇬🇧 😢
Best storyteller I've ever heard. Entertaining, funny, and one heck of a salesman.
You know I’ve been dealing with this cough for over a month. They give me an inhaler and antibiotics at urgent care and it gets better but never goes away. Watching this I’m calling first thing tomorrow to setup an appointment with a non urgent care doctor and get to the bottom of this. Rip man. Loved your voice and all your great stories
Dont wait man. My neighbor had the same probleme and waited too long and it was throat cancer. I hope its not your case but go have it checked out.
My cough was caused by a gluten allergy. Took awhile to figure it out. No more gluten / bread etc 😢 but no more coughing 😃 I can't complain. Simple solution.
Definitely see a pulmonary specialist. I’ve been battling a cough for nearly a year. Turns out it’s a bacterial infection of my right lung. The bacteria is present in soil and water and wet places (sinks, etc). It commonly infects people while they are hospitalized. The bacteria is called Psudomonas. There are 140 varieties. I would get antibiotics/steroids and things would improve for 5-6 , then symptoms would return. My daughter is a medical lab technician in Texas. I sent her a picture of my sputum and she knew what is was. I had a bronchoscope on 8/25. I’m currently hospitalized in Rome Italy. Do get yourself to a specialist. Good luck!
I second the gluten. I had/have the same problem. But also was the grease and sugars in everything I was eating/drinking. Had the cough for about a year. Went to like 4-5 doctors a few times each. None of them could figure it out. I narrowed it down to bread, but still didn't know wtf. My dad ended up finding me on the ground unresponsive the day after my birthday 2 years ago. No idea how I'm even here still. But it ended up being really high blood sugar causing the nonstop acid reflux like symptoms. I could blow my nose constantly all day long and would blow out thick white mucus ALL day. Back of neck, knees, and armpits were also getting darker. All signs of diabetes. Was in a coma for 3-4 days. Spent a month trying to walk/move around again until I was back to normal for the most part. Changed my diet over night (super difficult), and by the end of that first month, the cough was gone.
Spend the money and have blood work done. Ask about your blood sugar. Diabetes is VERY prevalent these days with all the easy access to junk food these days.
I hope you will be okay. Good on you for taking that step. Good luck.
ONE LOVE RABBIT JUST WATCHED ALL OF SEASON 2 tonight and I said to my wife how crazy it was that you were so small in it compared to season 1. I knew something was up. I’m really really glad you got to finish out season 1-2 man. Fly high and look upon us brother. I really wished I got to meet you and the crew. Rest in Peace sir!
Rob’s stories help me relive my youth working in several dealerships through my 20’s. I learned so much about people, myself and “the business”. RIP Rabbit. You will be missed.
Phenomenal story teller who's stories will bless the automotive enthusiast community for generations to come. Godspeed sir, and thank you.
First ever TH-cam comment here. From watching him on vinwiki in middle school up until most recently as a collage graduate and business owner. He has always told great stories that make you laugh and most contain a lesson about life. The mustang stories from high-school, the old man with the truck, the water company man, and the bike wreck. I have always loved Rabbit and he will be greatly missed. RIP Robb Pitts.
Enjoy your new journey Rabbit! You lived an incredible and inspiring life here on Earth good brother. You will be missed, but every time I think of you I will be smiling!
So many introduced today to this inspiring person, including myself. What a legacy 👏
RIP 🌹
Stomach cancer is so sneaky, its not fair. My uncle had pains, was flown into the city hospital after the one up north found a mass. He was taken into surgery and never woke up. No warning, no chance to say goodbye. He was "healthy as a horse" cutting wood, plowing roads etc.
I beg everyone who watches this mans video to see a Dr regularly! A once a year checkup is SO important. Men are so resistant to this for some reason and you all deserve to live long healthy lives, and your yearly checkup is a big part of making that happen. ❤❤❤
I am so so sorry, I truly am
A yearly checkup at the normal doctor's isn't going to catch much at all. This guy went to the hospital several times before finding anything.
The only real preventative is yearly baseline FULL blood work including cancer marker tests (easier to go to a private lab and pay a few hundred bucks than going to your normal doctor who likes to order one blood test at a time to milk insurance. Not to mention if you tell your doc why you're doing this they'll think your nuts and probably write your a hypochondriac on your chart).
Then if you can afford it and want to be sure, get full organ scans done with an MRI every two years. Call around and ask for cash prices and you'll be surprised how affordable some things can be. What they charge insurance $3,500 for can be had for under $1k a lot of times. A grand over 2 years is like $40 a month.

Well it is in the USA, his home country.
I lost my mom 16 years ago 8-10-08 to colon cancer. One of the hardest things I have ever watched, was her laying in her bed in hospice, and slowly dying for a week. She passed in her sleep, at 245pm Sunday afternoon, to I Can Only Imagine, by Mercy Me, playing on the TV. When I entered her room for the first time, she came out of her medically induced coma, sat up, looked at me, and said my name, "Jeff." Those were the last words she ever spoke to me, before she passed away 6 days later. She was surrounded by myself, my brother, sister, dad, my nephew, and niece. She was only 66. I miss her everyday.
God bless you and your family....
I've had a similar experience with both my grandma's and my dad, one also had colon cancer and was really weak, but then one day, as if she was cured, she was full of energy, talked a lot, walked around and outside, for almost the whole day, as if she was young again. Then in the early morning the next day, around 5am, we got a call she passed away in her sleep.
The other grandma had lymphatic cancer, it spread throughout her body and they couldn't do anything anymore. She suffered for a few months, was heavily dosed with medication, especially morphine, which in the end didn't even help much anymore, wasn't really lucid, basically in her own world. But she did "wake up" twice, first time it was only my mom there, they talked for a bit and she went back to sleep, but was lucid again the next day and everyone was called in. She wasn't able to move, but she did talk to us a bit. She passed away a few hours later.
My dad, sadly an alcoholic, killed his liver and due to his age and weight, we knew he wouldn't get any new liver, not in the time he'd need them. So he was slowly dying for 6 months, due to his liver failing, his blood was full of toxic waste and he had a lot of delirium, to the point of me and my mom starting to resent him even if it wasn't his fault. Was in the middle of rona in 2022/2023 so no help from any medical institution. His last 2 weeks were intense, from being better to being bad to being better again, to being bad and then, the sudden energy spike, which gave us the heads-up to spend as much time as possible with him. The next day he was already in the last stage before death, you could hear from the breathing. He wasn't awake, but responded to me grabbing his hand. We told him it was ok to go, a priest came by an hour later for the last prayer thing and about an hour after that we got the call.
i've seen this happen many times and warned my friends when they told me one of their family members, who was basically on their death bed, suddenly had energy, i just told them to spend as much time with them as possible, because this was the last time they would be able to spend time with them.
Spend time with your family, you never know when it might be the last time.
@@NecroFlex got bless you and your family, I can’t stress enough how important it is to spend time with your loved ones and always be grateful…
My dad passed away earlier this year. He got very sick on Christmas Day. He was at work and sepsis came on very fast and sudden. The med centre at his work refused to send him to the hospital or even home as he was dying and because work is an hour out of town and they provide company busses he was stuck there. By the time he got to the hospital himself the damage was already done to his organs. He did recover from the infection and would have recovered if he got to the hospital soon enough but the infection did too much damage to his organs. He passed away 3 weeks after in hospital, was in a coma since the day after being at the hospital and he never did wake up. The last thing he did what I seen him do was raise his hand like he wanted a glass of water but the nurses wouldn’t give it to him. The last day we spoke was on my birthday before Christmas when he came over and as we worked through Christmas we were going to have our Christmas Day on the 27th instead that never happened because he was in the ICU in a coma by then. He also passed away a week before he turned 60,, only 59, he was going to put in for retirement then to retire this summer with the company he’s worked 40 years for. That company refuses to accept any responsibility for his passing and my mom is terrified to go after this multi billion dollar company because of retaliation. It’s so hard without him. They even cut my dads life insurance in half while he was in the ICU and my mom only got half of it. 40 years of hard work literally controlling the crushers and pipelines making the company tens of millions if not a lot more a day in production and has never crashed the line unlike many of the new people.
Lost my mom when she was 47. It’s been 27 years and I still miss her everyday. I’m just appreciative that I had a great mom for 20 years. Not everyone is so lucky.
I'm gonna miss ya rob. I hope your up there with my friend Benjamin. He needs a good man to teach him to drive and have a nice car. And he can show you how to play guitar , you guys will be best friends. They always take people away from us when we need them the most. I thank you for all your stories and the joy you brought me and I hope you're up there with my best friend in one day we will join you up there in heaven but until the. Look out for us
Well, I got a good cry in this morning after seeing this. My condolences to his wife, family and friends. Cancer sucks!
I just finished putting a new CV axle, ball joint and rear bumper on my truck, opened Facebook and saw this posted. We were just sharing some of his stories in the shop, unknowingly. And that is a true testament to the impact he made and the legacy he has left behind.
I don't own a TV.
I've never seen this show.
But this popped up on my feed on TH-cam.
Apparently, the universe/ algorythem believes that this man's passing is Noteworthy.
So I went and watched several videos.
I feel like I just missed out on something fantastic.
A man with the ability to impact lives, and inspire people.
I am glad that he lived a full and happy life.
💐 🌹 🌸 🏵 🌹 🌸 🏵 🌼 💐
you for sure missed out on an amazing man with even better stories, but he will forever live on through the vinwiki channel!
There’s nothing “Full” about passing away at 45yo! Did he make a positive impact on the world…. 100%! Did he get to do things that most of us only DREAM of doing…..? Abso-freakin-lutely! But, due to apathetic doctors & big medical mistakes, this YOUNG guy lost his life far too soon! (Sorry, I’m not trying to come at you personally, I recently lost my dad due to very similar circumstances, so I’m a bit touchy about losing people too soon)
@@Beautifully_BrokenA lot of people were brought here due to the algorithm and have no idea what you mean.
@@Beautifully_Broken
I get u....but he Did Live a "Full" 45 Yrs apparently 🙂
@@Beautifully_Broken I hear you. God, do I hear you. The Veteran's Administration had a policy that you can't get a colonoscopy until you're 50. One of my best friends had been trying to get one..but the VA denied it. so when they finally changed their policy to allow for younger ages.. it was too late.
Now I have to watch him fade away.. bit by bit. Chemotherapy and radiation have ravaged his system.
His smiles, once ready and free, are more rare now.. with an unhealthy dollop of pain and sadness.
Once active, he now is too tired to do anything, anymore. He sleeps 12-16 hours a day.
All I can do is be there for him.
All I can do is pray.
Seeing this at the end of Season 2 of Tex Mex Motors sucks. Thank you for two seasons of fun and entertainment. Rest in peace sir.

I too have been feeling off lately and have tried telling my doctor that something isn't right but nobody will listen. Even er doctors. They all think it's just in my head. It's hard to ask questions when nobody wants to smart them.. Rip brother.

Holy cow! I'm literally just finding out now. Over the years I've loved listening to Rabbit tell stories about cars. Particularly the one about the man who emptied out his life savings to buy land that would be needed for a highway in Carolina and became a multimillionaire selling that land to the state. This is really sad news. Rabbit seemed like a guy that if I met him tomorrow we could hang out for hours swapping stories about cars, women, life, and motorsports. I hope his family knows how far he touched lives just by retelling his stories on the internet. Rest easy good man, you will be missed but remembered with genuine kindness
It happens so fast. My best friend is currently in hospice from lung cancer and I am out of tears. RIP Rob.

He seemed like the kind of guy that you felt you had known your entire life, even if you had only seen him on tv or TH-cam. RIP legend
As a hospice nurse I cannot agree more. So many people treat the symptoms instead of getting to the problem.
Because more money is made treating the problem than actually fixing the problem!!! Healthcare and buying a car is a great analogy, The DealerShip(Healthcare Industry) wants you to finance the car and make money from the markup, and then make more money from the interest(Treating the symptoms) instead of buying the car in cash(1 and done). Capitalism is like a beautiful person...But this person is Bi-Polar with schizophrenia.
Not people, doctors. They spent 10, 12 years educating themselves for this?
I avoid them like the plague.

What is really sad is when people figure out why they are having issues and don’t tell their family that they have Dementia and Alzheimer’s had this happen to my grandmother, and it was one of the most depressing things to find her medication four years later when she was supposed to be taking it so that she wouldn’t degrade so fast, but she didn’t take it and she hid the medication from us and wouldn’t go pick the medication up that way no one would know at least until it got too late and then when she died, she had no brain thing was melted it was terrible
