Only days after her dream wedding to Jeremy Scheuch, American Pickers\u2019<\/em> star Danielle Colby faced a heartbreaking loss when she had to say goodbye to the real-life Santa Claus who sprinkled some \u201cunexplainable magic\u201d into her life.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fans of American Pickers<\/em> were thrilled to see Danielle Colby sharing glimpses of her dream wedding to Jeremy Scheuch on February 15, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dazzling guests in a powdery blue gown that swept the ground behind her, the 49-year-old star said \u201cI do\u201d to Scheuch \u2013 a professional photographer \u2013 in an open-air ceremony held in Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wedding, a perfect blend of rustic charm and artistic flair, showcased the couple\u2019s unique style and their shared love for creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a February 17 Facebook post, the TV personality shared a photo of her and Scheuch facing the altar, their backs perfectly blending with the backdrop of the bright blue sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn this moment I was the happiest I have ever been. Standing on the edge of a mountain with my best friend, overlooking the vast ocean, surrounded by loving family and friends,\u201d Colby writes in the post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, speaking of \u201cPapa John,\u201d Jeremy\u2019s dad who was noticeably absent, she adds: \u201cOur hearts are full, however\u2026we were deeply missing Jeremy\u2019s family that are staying with his dad as he is fighting cancer. Their presence was a hole in our hearts, but we felt their spirit with us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only days after the couple exchanged vows, Colby shared another photo on social media that she captioned, \u201cHold on Papa John, we are on our way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On February 19, the newlyweds travelled from, Puerto Rico to Kansas City, where Jeremy\u2019s dad was losing his battle with cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That same day, John, who played Santa Claus to many children for more than 40 years, died of cancer at age 70.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navigating the complex emotions of grief amidst the happiness, Colby, ever candid with her fans, shared how the loss has deeply affected their family dynamic, bringing both tears and cherished memories to the forefront.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharing an emotional tribute post, Colby<\/a> writes on Facebook, \u201cPapa John\u2026You spent your life advocating and creating miracles for the most vulnerable children in your community. [You] opened your doors when we needed you to sprinkle your magic around us as we were going through hard times. You always cared so much and loved so hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was difficult to move forward with this wedding without you there. So many times we cried, because little things would remind us 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,\u201d she continues writing of the man who, according to his obituary<\/a>, served as president of Santa America from 2015 until his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colby adds of her beloved father-in-law: \u201cEven though you were thousands of miles away, trying to heal, you were there with us in every moment, in each sunset and sunrise. Each embrace and celebration. Although you\u2019re no longer physically here, I feel you everywhere. Absolutely everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Community of Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fans of American Pickers<\/em> rallied around Colby and her new husband, flooding their social media with heartfelt condolences and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am so sorry for your loss. Even though he couldn\u2019t be there physically at your wedding, he waited and was able to let go knowing you and his son would comfort each other, be there for each other and maybe be able to sprinkle some of his magic dust for others,\u201d shares one fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A second writes, \u201cSuch an expression of love. I am so very sorry for your loss. Papa John is with you and he is smiling!\u201d While a third adds, \u201cHe will be with you forever. I\u2019m just sorry it will no longer be in the physical world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
