Mr. Robert "Rabbit" Clifton Pitts

Robert Clifton Pitts, AKA Rabbit was called home on August 25, 2024, at Prisma Health Cottingham Hospice House in Seneca, SC. Rob had spent the last 5 months battling stomach cancer. Rob is survived by his wife and love of his life: Dr. Randi Foraker; his mother: Kimberly S. Pitts; his grandmother: Mary Alice Pitts; his wing man: Robert “Odd Rod” Pettit; and one flawless 1980 Chevrolet Corvette. They just don’t make them like that! And can’t forget the daily driver, his beloved Caddie. Rob went to be to be with his father: Robert Kim Pitts, who was his best friend; his grandparents: James R. Pitts, Alfred Murdock, and Edna Murdock; uncle: Thomas Murdock; aunt: Beverly Johnson; and cousin: Allen Murdock. A graduate of Wade Hampton High school, Rob went to work various car related jobs that led to “Rabbit” being born. If you don’t know the origin of Rabbit, look no further than YouTube. Rabbit worked the family diesel business for several years, started Hot Rods and Happy Hour, hosted a successful radio show and created a YouTube career. As soon as Rabbit sat down in the VINwiki chair for the first time it changed the way the rest of the storytellers worked to recount automotive experiences. This along with his charisma and honey-over-gravel voice ultimately led to a lead role in Netflix’s Tex Mex Motors. Rob “Rabbit” Pitts was able to do more with 45 years than most could only dream to accomplish in several lifetimes. He gave his immeasurable talent freely and generously to those who needed it most. Rob was a genuine and kind force that connected deeply with everyone he met, giving his full and undivided attention before he moved on to the next conversation. He always focused on making an impact, donating to and heading drives for innumerable charities and individuals. He is leaving us with shoes that can’t be filled, but with many stories to tell. The visitation will be held at Rock Springs Baptist Church at 201 Rock Springs Easley, SC 29642 on Friday, August 30th from 9:00 AM-11:00 AM, with a car show taking place during this time. His funeral service will follow from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM, officiated by Rev. James Hester. This will be open to the public. A private entombment will be held for family and close friends by invitation only later in the day.
