The son of Storage Wars star Darrell Sheets has shared a new update on how the family plans to move forward — and how they hope to protect his legacy following his death.
Darrell was a familiar face on Storage Wars, appearing in 163 episodes of the series in which bidders try to score valuable finds after getting only a brief glance inside abandoned storage units.
His son Brandon also featured on the show, and has now spoken about what comes next for his dad’s business in the wake of the family’s sudden loss.
After Darrell’s death, viewers noticed that the Lake Havasu store, Havasu Show Me Your Junk, appeared to have shut its doors, raising questions about whether it would be able to continue operating.
Brandon, 42, has since offered some reassurance, with the business currently listed on Google as “temporarily closed,” and plans underway to bring it back once the family is able.
The shop, which sells collectibles and antiques, is expected to reopen once the family has had time to navigate what Brandon described as a difficult period.
Taking to social media, Brandon wrote: “We appreciate all concerns and condolences. We do plan to reopen ‘Lake Havasu’s Show me your Junk’.”
He added: “Please allow some time as we gather things and get through these tough times.”
For now, Brandon says no reopening date has been confirmed, explaining: “There is no exact date set at this time.”
Even so, he insisted the store’s return is the goal, telling supporters: “We appreciate all our Storage Wars fans! We will be back BIGGER and BETTER than ever!”
Earlier, Brandon also posted a personal tribute describing how strongly the loss has impacted the family.
“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. “Let’s all continue to build those memories and keep the legacy that is ‘Darrell (The Gambler) Sheets’.”
He continued by saying the family would need space to grieve and to focus on the positive memories, noting they would “need time to process and remember all the good that my Father was and will continue to be through my Son and I.”
Brandon also reflected on the kind of person Darrell was, writing: “The love we all have for this man and all his kindness is only a small portion of who he truly is.”
Darrell stepped back as a regular cast member in 2019 after experiencing a heart attack. He later focused on running his Arizona store, while occasionally returning for guest appearances.
According to a police statement, officers were called to a home in Arizona at around 2am local time on April 22, where the 67-year-old was found dead.
Lake Havasu police said he “suffered from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.”
