The well-known television personality Frank Fritz’s personal life had taken a turn for the worse. He was going through a tough time when he met Diann Bankson, a woman he would spend the next few years of his life with. Their time together left a lasting impression on both of them even though their relationship ended.
In 2014, when Frank and Diann first met, they secretly started dating. A year later, they moved in together, but things quickly changed after Frank started to feel the effects of his divorce. They purchased an Iowa farmhouse as their new home after getting engaged in 2017.
His distress was exacerbated by his struggles with alcoholism, unemployment, and other medical conditions. Despite these challenging times for him and Diann, their relationship had a lasting impact on them even after it ended.
When Bankson claimed to have found Fritz in bed with another woman in November of that year, their relationship took a turn. As a reminder of his betrayal, Fritz decided to get a tattoo that read, “Once a cheater, always a cheater.”.
He suffered financially and emotionally as a result of the breakup. He started drinking heavily as a coping mechanism for his heartbreak, which over time caused him to lose a lot of weight.
Despite this, he stated that he had done everything in his power to make their relationship work, from purchasing an expensive ring and home to drowning his sorrows in alcohol. He freely acknowledged that it wasn’t enough for Bankson, who had caused him suffering and distress.
Mike Wolfe decided to take a break from the dating scene because he was still dealing with the effects of his troubled marriage, which had left him broken and hurt. When he declared in early 2020 that he would stop hosting American Pickers on the History Channel after the March season, he also lost his job.
Fritz explained that he had health issues and that he would be back on the show as soon as the aftereffects of his back surgery had subsided. Fritz mentioned wanting to watch the program again. Now that I’m fully recovered, I’m prepared to rejoin the program.
There had been no decision regarding his return, according to Fritz. However, he claimed that a showrunner had gotten in touch with him and assured him that he would return. Despite the fact that Fritz has been a part of the program for more than ten years, according to TMZ, “there are no plans” for him to return as a host.
Additionally, Bankson met Eric Longlett, a supervisor of engineering administration, who would become her new boyfriend. She praised him on social media, writing, “He took me to witness Elton John’s Yellow Brick Road Farewell Tour – I’m a lucky girl.”. “Babe oxo, I love you. ”.
Furthermore, on July 4, 2022, Fritz was taken to the hospital after suffering a stroke that had been discovered while he was lying on the floor at his home by a friend who had called 911 immediately while mentioning that “he might be having a seizure, I’m not sure.”. ”.
He was doing well and getting better every day, according to Bill Fritz, his father. However, sadly, recovery did not go as well as everyone had hoped, leading to the appointment of guardianship and his transfer to a nursing home after his discharge from the hospital.
On August 18, 2022, consent was given for a trusted friend to take control of his guardianship and conservatorship in case of an emergency. His guardian was named as this acquaintance, and the bank was chosen to manage his finances.
This included daily payments for his care facility, any necessary health insurance, ongoing maintenance fees, and property taxes. Additionally, he needed to have access to a vehicle for when he needed to go somewhere, like to an event or a doctor’s appointment.
To be officially appointed as his guardian, his friend had to submit paperwork outlining an initial care plan; they had been involved in decision-making ever since the stroke.
He must decide where he should live, what kind of health care is appropriate, whether he should participate in any activities, and how he will communicate with his family and potential romantic interests in order to effectively play this role. The guardian is required by law to compile an annual report detailing their time spent looking after him.
He could not make independent decisions, putting him at risk of physical illness or harm, according to the paperwork that was submitted, and his health was rapidly declining. He was incapable of making sound financial decisions and, even if he did, of effectively communicating them. Prior to this revelation, his condition seemed to be significantly worse than had been anticipated or believed.
To think that a tragedy of this magnitude has befallen someone of Mr. Fritz’s stature is heartbreaking. We can only hope that his recovery goes smoothly and that he is able to stand up again.
While Frank is recovering from his injuries and regaining his health, the designated guardian will be in charge of making health-related decisions for him. Sadly, these are not simple choices because they involve deciding which medical procedures would be best for Frank and who will have access to his finances and personal information. However, these actions are necessary for him to get back home safely and carry on with his regular activities.
Frank Fritz is in our prayers during this trying time, and we wish him the very best in getting better after such a terrible experience. Everyone who is aware of the situation is urged to let their friends and family know so that they can pray for Frank’s wellbeing during this trying time.
