Darrell Sheets had already said goodbye to Storage Wars in the years prior to his death by suicide at 67. He’d moved to Arizona, where his son and fellow A&E star Brandon Sheets also lived, but he’d dealt with depression in his final days. While in Arizona, though, he’d opened Show me your Junk, a business focusing on hot rods, neon signs and much, much more. The shop has been shuttered in Sheets’ absence, but that may change soon.
While the Storage Wars cast was extremely vocal about the bullying Sheets had undergone prior to his death, and members of the cast had even offered to pay for funeral expenses, the family had been less vocal. Brandon Sheets did pay tribute to his dad after a few days, but the funeral itself had been expected to be a “quaint” affair. Now, a few days later, Brandon is reopening communications between the Sheets family and the Storage Wars fans.
