Brandon Sheets is wearing his heart on his sleeve after his father’s tragic death.
The 42-year-old, who often appeared on Storage Wars with his father Darrell Sheets, took to Instagram on Thursday to emotionally pay tribute to the late TV star. Alongside a series of selfies and family pics, including multiple of Darrell on grandpa duty, Brandon wrote:
“My heart is so broken. . . I love you Dad and I will do my best to live in your honor and respect our Family. Let’s all continue to build those memories and keep the legacy that is ‘Darrell (The Gambler) Sheets’”
Awww. He continued:
“I can’t answer everyone’s questions or concerns right now, 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. The love we all have for this man and all his kindness is only a small portion of who he truly is.”
So incredibly touching. See his full post (below):

Our hearts are so broken for the Sheets family. As we’ve been following, Darrell was reportedly victimized by cyberbullying leading up to his death, which “appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head,” according to police. However, an official cause of death has yet to be confirmed pending an investigation.
We’re sending so much love Brandon’s way! Rest in peace, Darrell.
