Pitts shared the news of her passing in a YouTube video detailing her final months. She explained that after attending the SEMA auto show last fall, she began feeling “off” and began losing weight. At first, she didn’t care for her thinner figure.
“I was getting ready to film season 2 Tex Mex Motors “I was working for Netflix and wanted to be camera ready, so I didn’t really care,” she said. “During the shoot, I started losing my appetite and had more and more acid reflux-like symptoms.”
Initially, he resolved these issues by going to the emergency room, but he couldn't pinpoint the cause. After going to the hospital, he learned that his prognosis was much more serious.
“My co-star and 'set mom' Jaime finally took me to the ER thinking I had gallbladder issues,” Pitts wrote. “I was diagnosed with stomach cancer at the end of March. I've been home rehabbed ever since and it's been a tough time. I've had more bad days than good days, but I've held on.”
He did not lose his spirits for long, telling his fans that he was happy in his last days.
“I have so much to live for and life is going my way,” she said. “Don't feel bad for me… I've achieved my dream of buying my own store, finishing season 2 of Netflix, and marrying the love of my life. Luckily, he's not afraid to do long-term things with a short-term guy.”
She concluded by sharing some wisdom she's learned from her health journey. “If your body is telling you something's wrong, don't stop until you figure it out,” she warned her fans. “Ask questions and get answers.”
Pitts is survived by his wife, Randi Foraker.
