Storage Wars alum Darrell Sheets was well-known in the storage auction industry, but he kept much of his personal life under wraps before his death.
Us Weekly confirmed in April 2026 that Sheets had died at age 67 after an apparent suicide in Lake Havasu City, Arizona.
“On April 22, 2026, at approximately 0200 hours, officers with the Lake Havasu City Police Department were dispatched to a residence in the 1500 block of Chandler Drive in reference to a reported deceased individual,” a spokesperson for the Lake Havasu City Police Department told Us. “Upon arrival, officers located a male subject who suffered from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The male was pronounced deceased on scene, and the Lake Havasu City Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Unit was notified and responded to the scene to assume the investigation.”
Sheets, also known by his nickname “The Gambler,” appeared on 163 episodes of A&E’s Storage Wars between 2010 and 2023.
A spokesperson for A&E told Us, “We are saddened by the passing of a beloved member of our Storage Wars family, Darrell ‘The Gambler’ Sheets. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time.”

Brandon starred alongside Darrell on Storage Wars from 2010 to 2016. “Opting for a GED instead of a formal education, Brandon chose to get his smarts from the storage auction world,” his A&E bio reads. “Having learned the trade from his father Darrell, Brandon knows as much about antiques and artifacts as most in the collectibles business.”
