Storage Wars star Gunter Nezhoda's son and co-star have confirmed the star has died after losing his battle with lung cancer just months after his diagnosis.
His son Rene Nezhoda explained in that his father died Tuesday night in his sleep in Salt Lake City after suffering complications from lung cancer.
The Storage Wars star was diagnosed in September and the chemotherapy treatment he underwent led to holes in his lungs, it's understood.
Gunter recently flew to Utah for emergency surgery but doctors tragically informed the Storage Wars star and his family that there was nothing that could be done.
The Storage Wars star's youngest son Ricky was by Gunter's side when he died.
In a video for TMZ, Rene explained: "My dad was one of the guys on Storage Wars that never really got any hate people loved being around him, including the crew...everybody loved working with my dad."
"Everybody has been asking lately how my dad is doing and I haven't really talked about anything because we kept it private, we thought he was going to fully recover but unfortunately he didn't," he continued.
"Now, hopefully he's up in heaven with my mum dancing again and no more pain...Thank you for all the love."
He appeared in a total of seven episodes of the A&E series from 2015 to 2019 and had filmed an episode with his son Rene for the upcoming season 14.
Outside of reality TV work, the 67-year-old is credited with acting roles in a small selection of movies.
He was also a talented musician and played bass with a number of musicians such as Kevin Dubrow, George Lynch, Michael Schenker, Pat Travers and Leslie West.
