GREENVILLE IN 1997. TODAY, THE UPSTATE IS MOURNING THE LOSS OF A LOCAL CAR ICON. THIS WEEKEND, ROB PITTS OF GREENVILLE, NATIVE AND STAR OF A POPULAR NETFLIX SERIES, PASSED AWAY. OUR NATE STANLEY IS JOINING US IN THE STUDIO THIS AFTERNOON WITH MORE ON HIS LEGACY AND IMPACT IN THE UPSTATE. NATE PITTS, KNOWN AS THE RABBIT, GREW UP HERE IN GREENVILLE AND ATTENDED WADE HAMPTON HIGH SCHOOL. ON SUNDAY, HE DIED FROM STOMACH CANCER. HIS NEXT NETFLIX SHOW, TEX-MEX MOTORS, GARNERED NATIONAL PRAISE AND ATTENTION WHERE HE WOULD RESTORE CLASSIC JUNKER CARS. HE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH STAGE FOUR STOMACH CANCER WHILE FILMING THE SECOND SEASON OF THAT SHOW. NOW, PITTS LOVE FOR CARS WAS SEEN HERE IN THE UPSTATE, WHERE HE OWNED RABBIT USED CARS IN SENECA. IN A TRIBUTE VIDEO, PITTS TOLD HIS FANS HE ACCOMPLISHED HIS DREAMS OF FILMING THAT SECOND SEASON, BUYING HIS OWN STORE AND MARRYING THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE. HIS FRIENDS REMEMBERED HIM AS A HUMBLE MAN WHO JUST LOVED WHAT HE DID, AND ANYTIME YOU ASKED HIM IF HE NEEDED ANYTHING, HE SAID NO, BUT PLEASE DON'T TOUCH MY HAIR. SO, YOU KNOW, EVEN THOUGH HE WAS KIND OF A, YOU KNOW, LOCAL AND ALSO NATIONWIDE CELEBRITY, HE REALLY HAD A SMALL CIRCLE OF FRIENDS. HONESTLY, YOU WOULD THINK THAT HE WOULD HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS HERE AND THERE, BUT HE JUST HAD A SMALL LITTLE, LITTLE POOL AND WE STAYED REALLY CLOSE AND CONNECTED WITH HIM. AND TO HEAR THIS NEWS, EVEN WE HEARD IT LATE BECAUSE HE KEPT IT SO CLOSE TO HIM AND HIS FAMILY. SO THE MINUTE WE HEARD IT, WE WE ALL WENT DOWN THERE TO SEE HIM AND THERE ARE NO DETAILS YET FOR PITTS FUNERAL. HOWEVER, WE'RE TOLD IT WILL BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. WE'LL PROVIDE THOSE INFORMATION
