Danielle
Colby, star of American Pickers, has lost someone very close to her just days
after her dream wedding to Jeremy Scheuch.
Last
weekend, the History Channel star got married in Puerto Rico in a ceremony
straight out of a fairy tale.
Danielle,
48, wrote an emotional post on social media Tuesday to say that her
father-in-law had died.
The
reality star shared a picture of herself with “Papa John,” her new husband
Jeremy’s father.
The
picture shows the TV star sitting next to her partner on the front porch while
he holds their little dog.
His
mother and Papa John were sitting next to Danielle and her husband. They died
suddenly after the wedding.
She
wrote a long letter to Jeremy’s dad that said, “Papa John…you spent your life
fighting for and making miracles happen for the most vulnerable kids in your
community.”
“When
I met you for the first time, you and your elves had turned an airplane hangar
into the North Pole to make a little girl with cancer’s dream come true. You
gave her happiness, hope, and peace. Like the one you gave us.”
“You’ve
always been there for me and believed in me even when I didn’t.” I believe in
myself too. Maybe some people around you didn’t believe that I was good, but
you did. I felt safe in your arms, and you let me open up to you,” she gushed.
“Everyone
knows that takes a while.” You came all the way from thousands of miles away
many times to be with us, and you opened your doors when we needed your magic
to help us get through hard 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 had never experienced before, but suddenly the entire
week of our wedding was filled with the most unexplainable magic in our
surroundings, and the people who came to be with us, and the love we have for
each other.”
“You
were with us every moment, every sunrise and sunset, even though you were very
far away trying to get better.” With every hug and party. Even though you’re
not here with me anymore, I feel you everywhere. All over the place. “Now
rest,” she said.
WHAT
JEREMY SAID
Jeremy,
Danielle’s husband, also shared a post with a picture of himself as a child
meant for a family member who had died.
The
husband of the American Pickers star was only a child in the old picture, which
was taken in the front yard with a much younger Papa John.
In
the picture, the retired artist looked like a tiny child, dressed in a small
red jacket.
“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. “I am heartbroken,” Jeremy
wrote under his picture.
He
wrote more in the comments, “I don’t even know what to say right now.” I’m glad
I have the best wife by my side through it all, though.”
Danielle
wrote her husband a message of support below the post: “My heart hurts so much
for you and your family right now.” People who were weakest in spirit had their
dreams come true because of him.
“I
learned a lot from him about how to help others and make room for them.” I feel
him everywhere, but most of all when I’m with you.
“Thank
you for bringing Papa John into my life and the lives of my kids,” she said.
Danielle
and Jeremy got married over the weekend in a beautiful ceremony in Puerto Rico.
They had been together for six years and were engaged for almost four years.
