Danielle Colby, star of *American Pickers*, experienced a profound loss shortly after her dream wedding to Jeremy Scheuch. The couple, who tied the knot in a fairy-tale ceremony in Puerto Rico, were devastated when Jeremy’s father, Papa John, passed away unexpectedly just days after the celebration.

In a heartfelt social media post, Danielle paid tribute to Papa John, writing, “You spent your life fighting for and making miracles happen for the most vulnerable kids.” She recalled the joy he brought into her life, particularly how he turned holidays into special events despite her own lack of experience with them. Danielle noted, “You loved and cared so much all the time,” and she cherished the memories they made together.

Jeremy also shared his grief with a touching childhood photo of himself and his father, captioning it, “My dad. John Scheuch. From June 28, 1953, to February 19, 2024. Rest in peace, dad. You were the best dad I could have asked for.” He admitted, “I don’t even know what to say right now,” and expressed gratitude for Danielle’s support, saying, “I’m glad I have the best wife by my side through it all.”

Danielle offered her condolences to Jeremy, saying, “My heart hurts so much for you and your family right now.” She thanked Papa John for the love he brought into their lives.
