Pitts was more than just a car expert. He was a storyteller, a mentor, and a friend to many. In his last video, he reflected on his life, mentioning things like buying his own store, finishing the second season of his show, and marrying the love of his life. 

He joked, "Luckily, she doesn't mind doing long-term things with a short-term guy."

He inspired me to start my own business and live honestly." Another fan added, "Rest easy, Rabbit. You were one of a kind."

However, Pitts’ final message to his fans was a reminder to take care of their health. He urged everyone to listen to their bodies and see a doctor when something feels wrong. 

His legacy will live on in the car world, through the cars he restored and the lives he touched.
