'Storage Wars' Star’s Son Breaks Silence on Dad Darrell Sheets’ Death

Brandon Sheets is in mourning following the death of his father and Storage Wars co-star Darrell Sheets.

In an April 30 post, Brandon, 42, took to social media to pay tribute to his dad, in his first public comments since Darrell was found dead of an apparent suicide on April 22.

The father-son duo both appeared on the A&E series together until Brandon left the show in Season 10; Darrell remained a staple on the series through Season 15, which aired in 2023.

He was 67 at the time of his death.

Brandon’s Touching Tribute

“My heart is so broken,” Brandon began his post.

“I love you Dad and I will do my best to live in your honor and respect our Family. Let’s all continue to build those memories and keep the legacy that is ‘Darrell (The Gambler) Sheets,’” the reality star continued.

The photos in the tribute showed the pair together, as well as Darrell with Brandon’s children.

“I cant answer everyone’s questions or concerns right now, I think we all just need time to process and remember all the good that my Father was and will continue to be through my Son and I,” Brandon concluded his tribute. “The love we all have for this man and all his kindness is only a small portion of who he truly is.”

In the comments, series co-star Brandi Passante added, “I’m truly so sorry for the incredibly painful loss that you and your family have to endure. Sending you love and hugs from afar.”

Fans also flooded the comments of Brandon’s post with condolences, with messages including, “Your dad is a legend,” “we will always cherish the memories we have with your dad,” and “Your father was my absolute favorite one on the show and my favorite season’s / memories were with you and him.”

Brandon also shared a video montage to his page on Sunday, May 3 (below), adding, “Missing you hard today Dad.”

Details of Darrell’s Death

Police in Lake Havasu, Arizona confirmed Darrell was found dead from an apparent suicide on April 22.

Speaking with TMZ, Storage Wars co-star and rival Rene Nezhoda claimed Darrell was being cyberbullied before his death.

Authorities later confirmed they were “aware of these cyberbullying accusations and that is a part of the active investigation.”

Following his death, Sheets’ ex-wife Kimber Wuerfel also paid tribute on social media.

“I haven’t had the words until now. Thank you for all the love, prayers, and condolences, it has meant more than I can say,” she wrote. “Darrell gave us so many moments of laughter, connection, and life.”

“May the memories you hold of him stay close to your heart, as mine will stay with me forever,” Wuerfel added. “From our family to yours, thank you. We will make an announcement in the future, for those who wish to participate in a service.”
