Content Caution: Suicide is discussed in this narrative.

A longstanding star of A&E has passed away. Around two in the morning on April 22, Darrell Sheets, who starred in Storage Wars from 2010 until 2023, was discovered dead at a home in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, according to a statement from the police to news agencies. He was sixty-seven.

Following a report of a deceased person, Lake Havasu City Police officers were sent to a residence. According to authorities, the man, who has subsequently been named as Sheets, appeared to have committed suicide and was declared dead at the site.

The Mohave County Medical Examiner's office has received his body, and the matter is still being looked into.

Over thirty years ago, Sheets began his flipping business by placing bids on unclaimed storage containers in an attempt to find gems.

"I have found everything from scrap crap to Picassos in storage units," he stated in his bio on Fox Business. "They call me the Gambler because I take the risks, bet big and come out on top!"

Sheets claimed to love his family, especially his long-term partner Kimber Naisbitt Pino, more than the excitement of the hunt.

"Kimber is the love of my life and is my biggest supporter of this unique business that I’m in," he added. "I have two kids, Kimber has two kids, and between us we have four beautiful grandchildren that I love being around."

In addition, Brandon Sheets, his son, continues the family business by accompanying his father to every auction.

"Darrell takes pride in the adventure and education storage buying has provided him," according to an A&E summary. "It’s a lifestyle and skill set he hopes to pass on to his son."

Yes, Sheets told Fox, "I am lucky to have my son around me every day. I come from a large family, and I’m the practical joker of the bunch."

He loved boating and playing the drums and guitar when he wasn't pursuing the "high" of obtaining lucrative storage units.

Sheets, who also had appearances on Rachael Ray and The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, loved dogs. In 2023, he posted a picture of his puppies to Instagram with the message, "And on what day did God create man’s best friend and call it dog, his name backwards, these guys are really giving me a lot of joy."
