An Official Tribute To Rob "The Rabbit" Pitts

[@wheelman1991]

One hell of a salesman, the lord has no clue how lucky he is to have such a shrewd negotiator. Thank you for all the support, and kindness Rob. You'll be missed.

[@jamesbowers7343]

He’s convincing St. Peter to buy that black truck he swore he would never want.

[@dac232009]

I bet he's convincing Jesus to take a ride in a camaro.

[@codydrummer]

He's already talked Jesus into trading his Donkey for a Goat (GTO)

[@haas4262]

I know this is a statement of tribute, but that’s straight up heresy haha

Prayers for his Mom Wife and all his friends and family.

[@paulhoskins7852]

Holy crap, this popped up in my feed, I had no idea he passed away. R.I.P. Rob Pitts, the Legendary Rabbit.

[@kasper_429]

IKR? I saw it yesterday morning when I was checking Instagram and saw Ed from VINWiki's post about it. When I opened KZbin on my computer yesterday, the last video on this (Rob's) channel was one of the first ones in my feed. I watched that then immediately watched Ed's video about it. So sad, but it has a somewhat happy ending in that Rob accepted Jesus as his Savior when Ed witnessed to him. I was really relieved to hear that in Ed's video.

[@joshua_J]

Insta click for the legend Rob Pitts. We all love you Rob. Till we see you again, we will never forget you.

As a stage 4 larynx cancer survivor myself,,, 9 years in October. It breaks my heart to hear of another person passing from the monster that is cancer. My deepest condolences to his family and friends, may God rest his soul 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@Hogdog970]

Man he was one of those people who you felt you knew, even if it were online or through other people. RIP, KING.

[@CGoody564]

I always thought of him as one of those "uncles" that isn't really an uncle, but is such a good friend of your dad's that he might as well be

[@elesjuan]

I never met Rabbit, never even spoke to him. He had no idea who I am, yet I feel like I lost my friend today. Such a tragic loss.

[@eugenekalashnokov1525]

6 weeks ago I left my job selling diamonds, something I've done for 15 years, 14 of which were with the same company, to start selling cars. Listening to Rabbit's stories was a huge influence for my decision, and I was blindsided when I heard of his passing. I was hoping that one day, a few years from now, after finding a certain level of success in the auto industry I'd be able to leave a comment on his channel thanking him for the inspiration and he'd be able to read it and know he positively influenced someone's life by just doing what he does, and being himself. This is the closest I can get now, so thank you Rabbit. Rest easy my friend.

[@ezcbt]

You won’t be alone in saying he inspired you to do something. Hope it goes so well!!

[@JSCB-365]

I've been building my KZbin channel for years. I admit I'm still not good at it, but I'm building from almost nothing. I do want to educate the next generations on how to fix or upgrade their vehicles. I may work on absolute junk vehicles but I will show you how to fix it for the most part a version of the correct way. I do hate dirt ,Rust and grease. I'll clean a part and paint it black before putting it back. Rob being a great storyteller and getting all the way to Netflix. Gives me a TON of inspiration. I am trying to be more creative and entertaining with my projects now while still presenting the Facts of the project.

[@kylepickett2390]

This man changed the outlook of my life, his stories and passion for life in the fast lane, his bonding moments with his father, and his VinWiki time.. the Rabbit will be greatly missed..

[@asdfbeau]

it's one of life's great tragedies that people will never know what they really mean to us. I hope you can make the time to find someone else, who was influential, and try to let them know.

[@averson7]

I have tears in my eyes. This guy was a huge part of my life after I got sober.I got WAY into cars, bought a 370z and watched EVERY video of rabbits. I remember how excited I was when he liked one of my comments on his video. I even told my gf and she was like okay??? Lol I love this man, even tho he never knew I was alive. I woke up and seen that he passed this morning and it really struck me. I never knew he was sick. Rob "Rabbit" Pitts is one of a kind and there will never be another like him. I'm happy that he was able to find KZbin and start making videos and that it took off for him. Just cause I know he touched so many of us with his stories. I might just go back and rewatch his videos again. He oozes wisdom and would be a great friend to have. Rest in Peace Rabbit. 😢❤

[@capitalj1987]

Dear Rob Pitts, It’s hard to find the right words to say goodbye to someone who meant so much to all of us. You were a hero in every sense of the word-a man whose touch turned everything to gold. Whether it was a project, a friendship, or just a conversation, you had a way of making everything smoother, better, more meaningful. You could talk to anyone, and in doing so, you made everyone feel valued and understood. You were a beacon of strength, even in the face of adversity, and your love for life and those around you was evident in everything you did. We loved you for your wisdom, your kindness, and your ability to make the impossible seem possible. You will be deeply missed, but your legacy will live on in the countless lives you touched. Rest easy, Rob. You were one of a kind. With all our love and respect,

Thank you to Jeff and the rest of Rob's team for this video. It feels weird AF to type this, but it was good to just hear his voice again for one last time. I'm just so glad/relieved/what have you to know that he's in a much better place and not in pain anymore, thanks to Ed from VINWiki witnessing to him. Rest in peace, Rabbit. I would say I'll see you again one day, but we never met here on Earth. I can't wait to meet you in "person" one day, brother. My condolences to all of his family and friends. Praying for y'all.

[@GroundScore710]

One of the best storytellers to ever live

[@dillazonmerrill4214]

This is probably going to get buried (which honestly makes me happy since it's a reflection of just how impactful Rob was) but either way I hope Rob sees this from way up there. I'd say I discovered Rob about 6 years ago when I was in 8th grade homeroom, it was the end of the day I probably had a stack of homework to do but ya'know our school gave us these fancy iPads and I figured a better use of my time was watching KZbin per usual lol, and since I had watched a lot of Vinwiki's videos before it wasn't out of the ordinary for one of their videos to pop up on my recommended and that particular day the video that popped up just so happened to be about Rabbit talking about him and his Dad. After that I probably listened to every story he ever told prior to that on Vinwiki and then every new one after that, and then when he started this channel almost 5 years ago I listened to every single video he would put out until I graduated from highschool and then college too. Throughout that time Rob and Vinwiki both got me through a whole hell of a lot, between the years of depression and the passing of my stepdad, these types of stories kept me going and fueled my passion for the automotive world for all these years and I truly don't think I could've done it without that honey coated gravel voice occasionally popping in to tell us those amazing, sometimes heartwarming, and always hilarious stories. Rest in Peace Rob, I thank you for all you gave me and the audience all the same.

[@joea9608]

Thank you Jeff! ... for putting this together along with everything else you've done with and for Rob over the years!

[@jorgebello8914]

This is more of a motivational story than anything else. I can definitely be playing this many many times whenever I feel like I can't do anything, his words and experiences will motivate me to success. Thank you Rob and thank you moderator for putting this together.

May Rabbit rest in peace, truly a very sad ending to a great man’s story. Nobody will ever come close to the energy Robb always put out, nobody will ever replace that voice that captivated you into each story. The world definitely lost a legend 😢

I decided to make a career change end of last year and it's not exactly going as I wanted. It's almost like Rabbit made this video just for me right now. I need to get pumped with motivation and take control of my destiny again, follow through with my plans, and make my dreams come true. Thanks Rabbit

Robb....you were the most like me of anyone I've ever seen. I mean who agrees that the best ZZ TOP song was rough boy except a couple gearhead boys that grew up in the 80's. One night I was sleeping in my car in a blizzard in Denver pursuing my dream and I watched a video that you made about relatives and xmas, you talked about what's important in life....I'll never forget what you had to say. I'll never forget you either. Last night was tough....today was tougher. I keep thinking about your wife and your mom. I hope they are doing ok. Thanks for being my internet buddy over the years and I hope you and your Dad are together again. We lost Lizzy Musi a couple months ago too so you definitely have a pretty blonde girl to hang out with that went faster than either of us ever will or did. I'm gonna miss you bro.

I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I'd suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $30k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.

[@ClemensGoermer]

My advice: for newbies to grow financially this year, invest. Saving is good, but investing elevates your finances. Why newbie make huge losses on trade is because investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. that will stop you from trading, this has been one of the biggest problem to new traders, I've learned this from my own experience
