Additionally, Storage Wars star Rene Nezhoda posted a tribute to Sheets in the form of an Instagram video. "Unfortunately, Darrell Sheets took his own life," he said in the selfie-style clip.
He described Sheets as a "very hard worker who cared more about than probably anyone I've ever met about their family."
"He had a guy like really, really tormenting him lately on cyberbullying," Nezhoda added. "Just because you watch us on television doesn't mean you know us. It doesn't mean you know what we're about. Also, it doesn't entitle you to bully somebody."
He concluded, "You never know what demons somebody faces and what they go through, and what you might push them through," also encouraging law enforcement to look into the alleged cyberbullying.
