Josh Seiter, a well-known face from his appearance on “The Bachelorette,” has sadly passed away at the age of 36.

In an emotional Instagram post on Monday, Seiter’s family conveyed the heartbreaking news of his unexpected departure. They remembered him as a beacon of positivity in a world that often feels gloomy. His courage and unyielding spirit touched countless lives, offering solace even in the darkest moments.

While the pain of his loss is immeasurable, his family draws some comfort in knowing that he has found the peace he deserved. They kindly requested privacy during this difficult time and urged anyone struggling with mental health issues to seek help.

The cause of Seiter’s passing remains undisclosed.

Just days before his untimely demise, the reality TV star shared a photo of himself with a beaming smile, along with the words, “Surviving depression and anxiety one day at a time with a smile.”

Seiter had been openly discussing his mental health battles over the years, revealing his ongoing struggle with feelings of inadequacy. He implored his sizable following to break the cycle of tying self-worth to the opinions of others. He found that the path to healing came through vulnerability and honesty about his mental health challenges.

In a post from July 2021, he disclosed his diagnoses of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), bipolar depression, and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).

Seiter first appeared as a contestant on Kaitlyn Bristowe’s season of “The Bachelorette” back in 2015, but his journey ended after the first week.

Earlier this year, he embraced his bisexuality and introduced his partner, David, to the world. Their relationship, which began in November 2022, marked a turning point for Seiter, bringing him a sense of contentment he had long sought.

May Josh Seiter’s memory continue to shine as a symbol of hope for those facing their own battles, and may his story inspire compassion and understanding for the struggles that many silently endure.
