Late “American Pickers” star Frank Fritz is being remembered by the network that made him famous… the History Channel is airing several of his programs, a few days after his death.
Honchos at the History Channel tell TMZ… the network is holding a TV marathon today featuring Frank’s “American Pickers” episodes.
The marathon started at 7am and ends at 4pm… and the History Channel is adding an In Memoriam image every hour to remember Frank.
As we reported… Frank died on Monday night in a hospice in the Midwest, surrounded by friends, including his longtime “American Pickers” co-star Mike Wolfe. He was 60 years old.
We’re told that Frank died from the effects of a stroke he suffered several years ago… and that he had suffered from Crohn’s disease for decades, which may also have played a role in his death.
As we first reported… Frank notably walked away from “American Pickers” in 2021 because of health issues… after 12 years on the show.
