Brandon Sheets is honoring his late father, Storage Wars star Darrell Sheets, by preparing to reopen his antiques store and continue the family legacy.
Last month, Brandon first teased a big announcement alongside his wife, Melissa Sheets, and his mom, Darrel’s ex-wife Kimber Wuerfel. “I’ve just been traveling through time and space… not knowing what direction to head or even if I’m doing it right. The other night I truly believe was conformation that @callkimber @melissalove44 and I are on the right path,” he wrote on Instagram.
“I think what is coming and about to happen is what @darrellgambler would have wanted,” he continued. “I just pray that he watches over our process and is happy with the end result.”
A few days later, Brandon revealed he and his family, along with Darrell’s friend and business partner, Steven Galvan, would reopen the Arizona-based store, Havasu Show Me Your Junk. “Get Stoked, we are planning our come back HAVASU SHOW ME YOUR JUNK,” he posted on Instagram. “Still No ETA (Open Date) but we are stocking up.”
On Wednesday (June 10), Brandon shared further details, including the news that Darrell’s social media pages will remain open and be run by himself, Wuerfel, and Galvan. He also reiterated that his dad’s store will reopen. “There is no set date for the store yet, with that said, we will be sure all the “WOW FACTOR” fans know,” he added.
Darrell was found dead on Wednesday, April 22, at his residence in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. In a statement, the Lake Havasu City Police Department said officers responded to reports of a deceased individual around 2 a.m. local time and found “a male subject who suffered from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.”
After the news broke, fellow Storage Wars star René Nezhoda claimed that Darrell was the victim of cyberbullying and urged police to look into the accusations. The Lake Havasu City Police Department previously stated that it “continues to actively investigate allegations of cyberbullying associated with this case.”
