Brandon Sheets has shared an update on the future of his late father Darrell Sheets’ antique store, just over a month after the former Storage Wars star died.
The son of the reality TV favorite revealed that Havasu Show Me Your Junk, Darrell’s antique store in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, will reopen despite the difficult period the family is currently facing.
Darrell, who appeared on 163 episodes of Storage Wars across its first 15 seasons on A&E, died by suicide on April 22 after being found at a residence in Lake Havasu City. The Lake Havasu City Police Department later confirmed his cause and manner of death.
In a message to supporters, Brandon thanked fans for their condolences while confirming the store's future.
"We appreciate all concerns and condolences," Brandon wrote. "We do plan to reopen 'Lake Havasu’s Show me your Junk.'"
While no reopening date has been announced, the store is currently listed as temporarily closed on Google Maps.
"Please allow some time as we gather things and get through these tough times," he wrote. "There is no exact date set at this time."
Brandon also reassured longtime viewers of Storage Wars that the business would return.
"We appreciate all our Storage Wars fans! We will be back BIGGER and BETTER than ever!"
The reality star’s son ended his statement by thanking those who have continued to support the family following Darrell’s death.
Referencing his father's famous catchphrase, Brandon wrote: "Just remember it is all of you that make up 'The Wow Factor Baby.'"
"We love and appreciate all the positive energy (Any slander and malicious intent will be blocked and reported). Thank you all for your support."
Shortly after his father's death, Brandon also paid tribute to Darrell on Instagram.
"My heart is so broken. . . I love you Dad and I will do my best to live in your honor and respect our Family," he wrote. "Let's all continue to build those memories and keep the legacy that is 'Darrell (The Gambler) Sheets.'"
Brandon later reflected on his father's impact on those around him, urging people to focus on the positive memories he left behind.
"I think we all just need time to process and remember all the good that my Father was and will continue to be through my Son and I," he wrote. "The love we all have for this man and all his kindness is only a small portion of who he truly is."
In the weeks following Darrell’s death, fellow Storage Wars cast member Rene Nezhoda claimed the reality star had recently been the target of online harassment.
"He had a guy really, really tormenting him lately and cyberbullying him," Nezhoda said on social media. "Guys, just because you watch us on television doesn't mean you know us. It doesn't mean you know what we're about. Also, it doesn't entitle you to bully somebody."
Darrell remained one of the most recognizable figures from Storage Wars during his 15-season run on the A&E series, earning a loyal fanbase with his larger-than-life personality and trademark references to finding "the wow factor" in storage unit auctions.
