‘Storage Wars’ star Darrell Sheets’ son Brandon shares plans for dad's store
Darrell Sheets’ son, Brandon Sheets, has revealed how he plans to keep his father’s memory alive after the Storage Wars alum’s death in April.
“Hey, I know everybody’s got concerns about Darrell the Gambler’s Facebook, Instagram, other platforms of social media, and stuff like that,” Brandon, 42, said in an Instagram video on Wednesday, June 10, adding that he and his family will keep Darrell’s social media pages running, as well as his antique store in Arizona, Havasu Show Me Your Junk.
“We’re going to keep things going in his memory and his legacy. So, if you see us posting stuff, be sure to hit the like button down below, give us a follow, let us know that we’re doing a good job keeping the memory alive, because at the end of the day, that’s the wow factor, baby,” Brandon continued, using Darrell’s iconic catchphrase from Storage Wars.
In the caption, Brandon noted that there is “no date set” yet for when Darrell’s store will reopen to the public.
Brandon previously revealed plans for the store’s reopening in an Instagram Stories post on June 2, revealing that the process had “begun.” He asked his followers to “please allow some time as we gather things and get through these tough times.”
Darrell, nicknamed “The Gambler” on Storage Wars, died in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, on April 22 at age 67, a spokesperson for the Lake Havasu City Police Department told Us Weekly.
“On April 22, 2026, at approximately 0200 hours, officers with the Lake Havasu City Police Department were dispatched to a residence in the 1500 block of Chandler Drive in reference to a reported deceased individual,” a statement from the police department read. “The male was pronounced deceased on scene, and the Lake Havasu City Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Unit was notified and responded to the scene to assume the investigation.”
The Mohave County Medical Examiner’s Office in Arizona later ruled Darrell’s death a suicide.
Brandon, who appeared on Storage Wars alongside his dad in seasons 1 through 10, broke his silence on Darrell’s death on April 30.
“My heart is so broken. I love you, Dad, and I will do my best to live in your honor and respect our family,” he wrote via Instagram. “Let’s all continue to build those memories and keep the legacy that is Darrell (The Gambler) Sheets.”
He continued, “I can’t 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. The love we all have for this man and all his kindness is only a small portion of who he truly is.”
Darrell starred on Storage Wars as a main cast member in seasons 1 through 15. After a heart attack in 2019, he took a step back from the show, making sporadic appearances until his exit in 2023. He then moved to Lake Havasu and opened his shop.
