“Storage Wars” reportedly plans on honoring former castmate Darrell Sheets with an in-memoriam card during Saturday’s episode.
While Sheets, who appeared on the show from 2010 to 2023, doesn’t appear on the current Season 17, A&E will display the card when episode 10 airs at 9 p.m. ET/PT, per a report from TMZ.
Additionally, the network will air a marathon of past episodes featuring Sheets and his time on the series from Seasons 1 to 15, leading up to the new segment.
A rep for A&E wasn’t immediately available to Page Six for comment.
Sheets was declared dead at the age of 67 on Wednesday.
The Lake Havasu City Police Department found him dead with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound at his Arizona home.
In the years leading up to his death, Sheets spoke out about depression in a vulnerable Instagram post.
“Depression is the Devil’s way of attacking us,” he wrote in 2018. “It knows no mercy, it takes our smiles, it comes and goes, it ruins our relationships, it takes away our happiness.”
“It leads to suicide in some cases, it destroys all thoughts of positivity, it is a 24/7 battle and allows no rest for the suffering,” the reality star continued.
“So please next time someone tells you they have Depression, be kind and know that they spend every minute they have breathing suffering!!!” he concluded along with the hashtag “trustmeiknow.”
Sheets included a smiling selfie with his heartfelt post.
Sheets also suffered from a heart attack in 2019 after being sick for a few months.
At the time, he took to Instagram to share he initially “wasn’t going to say anything” but acknowledged that he has “the greatest friends and fans.”
“I had a mild heart attack, found out I have congestive heart failure and a severe issue going on with my lungs,” he wrote alongside a photo of himself in the hospital.
While Sheets’ legal relationship status wasn’t clear when he died, he is survived by his longtime partner Kimber Wuerfel and his kids, Brandon and Tiffany.
