Fans of 90 Day Fiancé are mourning the loss of Chuck Potthast, who passed away at the age of 64 after a battle with glioblastoma, a particularly aggressive form of brain cancer.
His family confirmed the heartbreaking news, leaving loved ones and fans alike in deep sorrow.
Daughter Shares Emotional Tribute
Elizabeth Castravet, Chuck’s daughter, took to Instagram to announce his passing, describing the family as “completely shattered.” She shared a heartfelt post alongside a photo of Chuck surrounded by family and friends.
“Two weeks ago, tragedy struck our family and it has left us completely shattered,” Elizabeth wrote.
“My sweet, loving, and caring dad went to heaven.
We’re trying to figure out how to navigate our lives and move forward without him.
Please respect our privacy during this extremely difficult time.”
A Brave Fight Against Cancer
Chuck first opened up about his cancer journey on 90 Day Diaries in 2022.
In September, he revealed he had undergone over eight hours of surgery to address complications from previous cancer operations, which had resulted in a hernia.
“My surgery was supposed to be about three to four hours long to fix hernias from my previous cancer operations that had developed,” he explained from his hospital bed.
“Once they got in there, they saw that my stomach wall had completely collapsed, so they had to fix that, which they did.
I wanted to thank everyone for their prayers and support. It really helped me get through it.”
Life on 90 Day Fiancé
Chuck made his debut on the TLC reality franchise in 2017 when his daughter Elizabeth joined the show with her then-partner Andrei Castravet.
Over the years, he became a fan favorite, known for his warmth, humor, and supportive nature.
Outpouring of Support from Fans
Since the news broke, fans have flooded Chuck’s last Instagram post, shared on October 3, with condolences and loving messages.
The post featured photos from a family boating trip in Florida, capturing happier moments with those closest to him.
One fan wrote, “Rest in peace, Chuck. You were the best HUMAN being to ever hit the 90 Day franchise. My heart is breaking right now.
Praying for his family. May God wrap his arms around them and comfort them.”
Others echoed the sentiment, saying, “You were such a supportive and loving father on 90 Day Fiancé,” and “Oh, Chuck, we adored you.
May anyone who knew this gem of a man in real life know how much of an impact he made on viewers who only saw a snippet of who he was. RIP.”
Remembering a Loving Father
Chuck’s passing is a profound loss for both his family and the 90 Day Fiancé community.
Fans and fellow cast members continue to honor his memory, reflecting on the joy, laughter, and love he brought to the show and to those who knew him personally.
