Netflix Tex Mex Motors star Rob ‘The Rabbit’ Pitts dies
Rob “The Rabbit” Pitts, a beloved figure in the world of classic car restoration and star of Netflix’s Tex Mex Motors, has tragically passed away at the age of 45. His passing was confirmed by his close friend and videographer, Jeff, who shared the heartbreaking news on YouTube on August 25, 2024. Rob’s untimely death came after a courageous battle with stomach cancer, a diagnosis he had shared with fans in a deeply personal video titled “This Is Goodbye.”
Born on July 27, 1979, Rob Pitts was not just a television personality but a passionate car enthusiast, a dedicated businessman, and a source of inspiration to many. He first captivated audiences with his charisma and deep knowledge of cars on Tex Mex Motors, a Netflix series that followed him and his fellow car scout, Scooter Carrera, as they traveled along the US-Mexico border in search of vintage cars to restore and resell. The show quickly garnered a loyal following, thanks in large part to Rob’s authentic and engaging storytelling.
But Rob was more than just a TV star; he was a man who lived life on his own terms, pursuing his dreams with relentless enthusiasm. He was the CEO of Pitts Truck Service, a family business that had been established in 1968. The company, which specializes in truck and trailer repair services, has long been a staple in the community, reflecting the same values of hard work and integrity that Rob embodied throughout his life.
In his final video, Rob opened up about his health struggles, revealing that he had been feeling “off” since the previous year. Despite experiencing severe symptoms, including significant weight loss and what he initially thought was acid reflux, Rob continued to push forward with his work on the second season of Tex Mex Motors. It wasn’t until he was taken to the emergency room in March that he received the devastating diagnosis of stomach cancer.
Throughout his illness, Rob maintained a positive outlook, even as he faced more bad days than good. He spoke candidly about his treatment, which he received at home, and shared his reflections on life with his fans. “I have a lot to live for and life has been going my way,” Rob said, urging his followers to take their health seriously and get checked out if something feels wrong.
Despite the gravity of his situation, Rob continued to focus on the positives in his life. He took pride in having achieved his dream of owning his own store, completing the second season of his show, and marrying the love of his life. His words in the video were a testament to his resilient spirit: “Don’t be sad for me,” he told his fans, emphasizing that he had lived a fulfilling life.
Rob’s passing has left a profound impact on his fans, friends, and the broader automotive community. The comments section of his farewell video has become a space for heartfelt tributes, with fans sharing memories of how Rob inspired them and expressing their deep sense of loss.
One fan wrote, “We will always love you, dude! Thanks for always telling great stories. RIP brother!” Another shared, “Rob Pitts played a massive role in the man I am today. He inspired me to buy and sell cars. When I was a kid, he was my No.1 role model. I wanted to be just like him one day, and I still do.”
Rob’s influence extended far beyond the screen. He inspired countless individuals to pursue their passions, whether in the automotive industry or in life more broadly. His authenticity, coupled with his love for storytelling, made him a figure that many looked up to. His fans often spoke of how he encouraged them to be honest and good in their business practices, just as he was.
The loss of Rob Pitts is felt deeply by those who knew him personally and by the many who were touched by his work. His friend and videographer, Jeff, who was with Rob in his final moments, shared the news of his passing with a heavy heart. “He will be missed, and we will never forget him!” Jeff wrote, a sentiment echoed by the countless fans who have since taken to social media to express their grief.
Rob’s journey, marked by his battle with cancer and his unyielding spirit, serves as a reminder of the importance of perseverance and maintaining a positive outlook, even in the face of life’s greatest challenges. His life was a testament to the power of passion, and his legacy will undoubtedly continue to inspire for years to come.
As the automotive community mourns the loss of one of its brightest stars, Rob’s words from his final video resonate: “Luckily she doesn’t mind doing long-term things with a short-term guy.” It’s a reflection of his humor and humility, traits that endeared him to so many.
While Rob Pitts may no longer be with us, his spirit lives on in the countless lives he touched. His work on Tex Mex Motors will continue to inspire, and his legacy as a passionate, driven, and kind-hearted individual will not be forgotten. Fans can look forward to the release of the second season of Tex Mex Motors, a project Rob was deeply proud of and one that will stand as a lasting tribute to his love for classic cars and his incredible life.
In honoring Rob’s memory, let us remember the joy he brought into the world, his contributions to the automotive industry, and the lessons he imparted through his words and actions. Rest in peace, Rob “The Rabbit” Pitts—you will be forever missed, but never forgotten.
