Raber has suffered from grave health issues for years.
In April 2024 he was hospitalized for heart problems and ketoacidosis, a diabetes complication that can be life-threatening.
In a recent TikTok post, a fan sent well wishes, writing a comment that said: ‘I hope you’re doing better. Please start taking care of yourself.’
Raber replied, ‘Oh I try my best. If you know nothing about brittle diabetes then look it up. It’s way different than regular diabetes.’
According to MedlinePlus, ketoacidosis ‘occurs when the body starts breaking down fat at a rate that is much too fast.’
Raber first appeared on Breaking Amish in 2012, and later resurfaced on seasons of Return to Amish.
He earned a reputation for being among the most outspoken cast members on the series, which is about young Amish adults seeking a taste of the modern world.
In March 2024 the television personality thanked fans who donated to help him with medical expenses.

‘This man has been through so much in his young life,’ wrote one social media user, begging others, ‘Please don’t be cruel with rude comments. Let us all start this new year with showing some compassion for others. Praying that he will get better soon.’Â
Someone else empathized, ‘Diabetes is a terrible disease.’
‘Praying for you, buddy,’ another supportive TikTok follower posted.
Raber wed Carmela Raber in 2016, but she filed a restraining order against him in April 2022. Weeks later he confirmed their split, per E! News.
He has three children from his prior marriage to Naomi Stutzman.Â
