Darrell Sheets' Storage Wars co-stars have offered to help cover the late TV personality's funeral costs in the wake of his death at age 67.

Sheets died of an apparent suicide in Lake Havasu City, Arizona on April 22.

Now, his former castmates have said they are willing to help the late star's family during their time of grief. He left behind on-off partner Kimber Wuerfel, son Brandon, 42, estranged daughter Tiffany, and granddaughter Zoie, 21.

Dan Dotson told Us Weekly about the funeral arrangements, '[Darrell’s family] might just do something small and quaint and easy for them. I know that we would all chip in and help and try to make it right for them if they had anything else in mind that they would want to do.'

Dotson, 63, and wife, Laura Dotson, have already discussed the matter with co-star Rene Nezhoda. 

'We just kind of talked about it a little bit [with Rene],' he shared, adding, 'I’m sure the cast would be all good with [pitching in for funeral costs], and I’m sure production would be good, and the network would be good with doing something if they could just figure out what that something is.'

But primarily, the group must 'figure out what the family wants, and then try to fit in and around that.'

The A&E star revealed that fans have reached out for information about how they can pay their respects to the late Sheets.

'I know that the public would love to know, [and] a lot of his fans would like to participate and show their respect. I just wish I had answers,' he lamented. 

'I’ve had a lot of his fans reach out wondering what the heck’s going on, and it seems like there’s a lot more than what meets the eye.'

At the time of his death, Sheets was living in Arizona following his retirement, and ran an antique store called Havasu Show Me Your Junk. 

He appeared on Storage Wars throughout 13 seasons and last appeared on the series in 2023.

In the wake of his death, resurfaced Facebook posts offered a glimpse into the turmoil he had been suffering.

Sheets claimed he had fallen victim to a 'cyber bully stalker' who hid behind hundreds of 'spoof numbers' as well as a variety of online aliases.

He accused the alleged stalker of impersonating him and 'harassing' small businesses, as well as having 'extorted money' from several people.

Nezhoda has urged law enforcement to look into the matter.

A police spokesman confirmed: 'We are aware of these cyberbullying accusations and that is a part of the active investigation,' via Page Six.

On March 9 Sheets posted to Facebook claiming he had been 'hacked by a very evil person' who was uploading 'posts' from an account pretending to be him.

Insisting that he was 'not gay' and had 'made no post about any children’s arcade owner,' Sheets wrote that his purported tormentor had 'ruined' him to the point that 'people are showing up to my work and wanting to harm me.'

Two days later he posted to Facebook for a final time, painting a chilling picture of an online campaign he said had stretched over a span of three years.

He said his alleged 'stalker' had 'been going after other small businesses in town and harassing them using my name.' Sheets insisted: 'It is not me!'
