In a recent post to his Instagram story, Brandon confirmed that he and his family will eventually reopen Darrell's store in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. However, no date has been set for the reopening at this time. Brandon did note that he's aiming to recapture the 'wow factor' that fans had come to know and love from the location.
"We appreciate all our Storage Wars fans! We will be back BIGGER and BETTER than ever," Brandon posted. "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."
Furthermore, in an effort to keep Darrell's memory going, the family has confirmed that his Instagram account will remain active.
Both Brandon and Darrell made their debut on Storage Wars in 2010. They remained on the show for multiple years, with Brandon leaving in season 10, and Darrell in season 15. During their time on Storage Wars, both became fan favorites.
Darrell Sheets' Co-Stars Paid Tribute After His Death
Brandon's desire to keep his father's legacy alive is both admirable and understandable. Darrell was widely liked by the show's fanbase and respected by his co-stars on the show. In fact, following his death, we saw just how respected he was, as multiple members of the Storage Wars team paid tribute.
"I'm at a loss for words!" Brandi Passante wrote. "I've known Darrell Sheets for many years. I'm just so very sorry, to hear the circumstances of his passing. My heart hurts for Brandon, Zoe, and Kimber. I unfortunately lost a parent and a brother to similar situations."
Rene Nezhoda, who many believed had a feud with Darrell, also moved to clear up that misinformation.
"Deep down, me and Darrell were friends; we talked every now and then," he explained. "He was a very hard worker that cared more than anyone I've ever met about their family, about his son, about Zoe [his granddaughter], pretty much [all the] people in his life."
Hopefully, Brandon will make a success of Darrell's store once it reopens. In truth, it's a heartwarming way to remain connected to his father.
Hopefully, he will bring us along for the ride as he gets ready for a grand reopening.
