Storage Wars star Darrell Sheets’ son, Brandon Sheets, has broken his silence after his father died at age 67.
“My heart is so broken. I love you, Dad, and I will do my best to live in your honor and respect our family,” Brandon wrote via Instagram on Thursday, April 30. “Let’s all continue to build those memories and keep the legacy that is Darrell (The Gambler) Sheets.”
Us Weekly confirmed on April 22 that Darrell died by apparent suicide. In addition to Brandon, Darrell is survived by his daughter, Tiffany Sheets.
“I can’t answer everyone’s questions or concerns right now,” Brandon continued on Thursday, referring to his dad’s death. “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.”
He concluded, “The love we all have for this man and all his kindness is only a small portion of who he truly is.”
Darrell’s Storage Wars costars offered their support in the comments section.
“I’m truly so sorry for the incredibly painful loss that you and your family have to endure,” Brandi Passante replied. “Sending you love and hugs from afar.”
Darrell’s ex-wife Kimber Wuerfel has also shared her condolences after the A+E star’s death.
“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,” Wuerfel wrote via Instagram on Thursday. “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.”
She concluded, “From our family to yours, thank you. We will make an announcement in the future, for those who wish to participate in a service.”
Darrell appeared on Storage Wars, where cast members bid on abandoned and unopened storage lockers at auctions in the hopes of finding high-valued treasures, from 2010 and 2023.
“We are saddened by the passing of a beloved member of our Storage Wars family, Darrell ‘The Gambler’ Sheets,” a spokesperson for A&E told Us last month. “Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time.”
Days after his death, the April 25 episode of Back to the Locker ended with a somber tribute to Darrell.
