What The Original Storage Wars Cast Looks Like Today

A life filled with risk and reward is a life Darrell Sheets knows too well. With an illustrious treasure-hunting career under his belt, "the Gambler" took interest in showcasing his strokes of luck on "Storage Wars." From his collection of comic books to coming across Frank Gutierrez works worth $300,000, Sheets has made it known that he is a master at his craft. Unfortunately, the highs he would experience wouldn't prepare him for the lows he would face in 2019. That year, Sheets announced via social media that he'd had a heart attack (per People). According to his Instagram, the severity of the health issue required Sheets to undergo heart surgery. "Thank you for all the well wishes," he stated in the Instagram post. "I am going to give this 100% and regenerate this good old heart. I will not give up. I've come too far, and I have had an incredibly wonderful life, no regrets."

Ever since his health scares, Darrell Sheets has appeared to be enjoying his life as a retired buyer. Residing in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, Sheets remains active on Instagram, penning sentimental posts about his granddaughter, Zoie, and longtime partner, Kimber. Despite this, Sheets would make his return on-screen for Seasons 13 and 14 of "Storage Wars." Although his cameos on the show remain limited, Sheets seems to be in good spirits about the life he leads now.
