What a tragedy! This is Danielle Colby, star of American Pickers..

American Pickers star Danielle Colby lost a loved one just days after her dream wedding to Jeremy Scheuch.

The History Channel star got married in Puerto Rico last weekend in a fairytale-like ceremony.

Danielle, 48, wrote an emotional message on social media on Tuesday to say her stepfather had passed away.

The reality star shared a photo of herself with “Papa John,” the father of her new husband Jeremy.

The photo shows the reality star sitting next to her partner on the front porch while he holds their small dog.

Her father and mother John were sitting next to Danielle and her husband. They passed away suddenly after their marriage..

She wrote a long letter to Jeremy’s father that read: “Papa John…you spent your life fighting and doing miracles for the most vulnerable children in your community. »

“When I first met you, you and your elves turned an airplane hangar into the North Pole to make a little girl with cancer’s dream come true. You gave him happiness, hope, and peace. Just like you gave us.

“You were always there for me and believed in me even when I didn’t. I believed in myself too. Maybe some people around you didn’t believe in me, but you did. I felt safe in your arms and you let me open up to you,” she said.

“Everyone knows that it takes time. “You have come from thousands of miles away to be with us many times and you have opened our doors when we needed your magic to help us through difficult times,” Danielle said..

“You loved and cared so much all the time. As someone who didn’t grow up with holidays, especially Christmas, you helped me understand them in a new way. You never saw these events as chances for yourself to gain something. Instead, you saw them as chances for other people to gain from your love, acceptance, and kindness.

For years, it was hard for me to fully open up to you. Some of my favorite memories are with you, your family, and your son Jeremy, who is so much like you in so many ways.

“Thank you so much for that. Without you there, it was hard to move forward with the wedding. We cried a lot because little things would make us think of you.

“Little magical moments that we never experienced before, but suddenly our whole wedding week was filled with inexplicable miracles all around us, the people who came to be with us, and the love we had for each other. »

“You were with us every moment, every sunrise and sunset, even when you were far away trying to be better. » With every hug and every party. Even though you are no longer here with me, I still feel you everywhere. Everywhere. “Rest now,” she said.

WHAT JEREMY SAID

Danielle’s husband Jeremy also shared a post with a photo of himself as a child for a family member who passed away.

The American Pickers star’s husband is just a baby in this old photo, taken in the front yard with a much younger Papa John..

In the photo, the retired artist looks like a small child, wearing a small red coat.

“My father. John Scheuch. From June 28, 1953 to February 19, 2024. Rest in peace, Dad. You are the best dad I could ever ask for. “I am heartbroken,” Jeremy captioned his photo.

He added in the comments: “I don’t even know what to say right now. » “I am blessed to have the most amazing woman by my side all this time.”

Danielle wrote her husband a supportive message under the post: “My heart is breaking for you and your family right now. » The weakest people have made their dreams come true because of you.

“I have learned so much from you about helping others and holding space for them. » I feel it everywhere, but especially when I am with you..

“Thank you for bringing Papa John into my life and the lives of my children,” she said.

Danielle and Jeremy got married this weekend in a beautiful ceremony in Puerto Rico. They have been together for six years and engaged for nearly four..
