A longtime A&E star has died.
Darrell Sheets—who starred on Storage Wars from 2010 to 2023—was found dead at a residence in Lake Havasu City, Ariz., around 2 a.m. on April 22, police told E! News in a statement. He was 67.
Lake Havasu City Police officers were dispatched to a home after receiving a report of a deceased individual. The man—who has since been identified as Sheets—appeared to have died by suicide and was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
His body has been turned over the Mohave County Medical Examiner’s office and the case remains under investigation.
Sheets started his flipping business over 30 years ago, hunting for treasures by bidding on unclaimed storage units.
"I have found everything from scrap crap to Picassos in storage units," he said in his Fox Business bio. "They call me the Gambler because I take the risks, bet big and come out on top!"
But more than the thrill of the hunt, Sheets said he loved his family, including his longtime partner Kimber Naisbitt Pino.
"Kimber is the love of my life, and is my biggest supporter of this unique business that I’m in," he continued. "I have two kids, Kimber has two kids, and between us we have four beautiful grandchildren that I love being around."
Plus, his son Brandon Sheets is following in the family business, attending every auction by his father's side.
"Darrell takes pride in the adventure and education storage buying has provided him," per a synopsis by A&E. "It’s a lifestyle and skill set he hopes to pass on to his son."
Indeed, Sheets shared with Fox, "I am lucky to have my son around me everyday. I come from a large family, and I’m the practical joker of the bunch."

When not chasing the "high" of scoring valuable storage units, he enjoyed boating and playing the drums and guitar.
Sheets—who additionally appeared on Rachael Ray and The Tonight Show With Jay Leno—was also a dog lover, sharing a photo of his pups on Instagram in 2023 with the caption, "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."
