“Storage Wars” alum Darrell Sheets was photographed walking his dog in a final Facebook photo before his tragic death on Wednesday.
The reality star slightly smirked as he maintained a secure grip on the dog’s leash in a snap shared on Feb. 6.
He sported a black tank top, gym shorts and a black beanie for the casual daytime outing.
Additionally, in a final Instagram picture taken one year before Sheets’ death, he was seen surrounded by his friends.
The TV personality beamed via an Instagram snap while surrounded by his pals during a trip to Lake Havasu, Arizona, in February 2025.
“Havasu show me your junk,” he captioned the snap. “We love our snowbirds.”
Sheets was rarely active on social media, and the Facebook photo was the last to show his face before he died on Wednesday.
The Lake Havasu Police Department told TMZ that the TV personality was found dead from what appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Officers responded to his home after receiving a report about a deceased person around 2 a.m. local time.
“We are saddened by the passing of a beloved member of our ‘Storage Wars’ family, Darrell ‘The Gambler’ Sheets,” a spokesperson for A&E told People via a statement.
“Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this difficult time.”
Sheets died years after he had a heart attack in 2019.
Alongside a photo of himself in a hospital bed, he wrote, “Well here we go I wasn’t going to say anything , but you all have been the greatest friends and fans.
“I’ve (sic) Been very sick for 3 months and two nights ago I had a mild heart attack, found out I have congestive heart failure and a severe issue going on with my lungs.”
The A&E star appeared in 163 episodes of “Storage Wars” spanning from 2010 until 2023.
In the series, Sheets, who was a professional buyer, bid on items in abandoned storage units.
Sheets had retired and lived in Arizona, where he ran Havasu Show Me Your Junk, an antique shop.
