- Darrell Sheets' son, Brandon, confirmed that his family plans to reopen his late father's Arizona antique store to honor the *Storage Wars* star's legacy

- Brandon also confirmed that he, Darrell's ex-wife Kimber Wuerfel, and Steven Galvan will keep the late store owner's social media accounts active and monitor them.

- "Let us know we're doing a good job of keeping the memory alive," Brandon told supporters in a video posted to Instagram.

Darrell Sheets' son is determined to keep his father's store going after his death.

Brandon Sheets, the son of the late *Storage Wars* star, posted an Instagram update to fans about the status of his father's antique store in Lake Havasu City, Ariz., Havasu Show Me Your Junk.

In a post shared on Wednesday, Brandon confirmed that he and his family will eventually reopen the antique store, and shared that Darrell's social media accounts will also remain open. Brandon, Darrell's ex-wife Kimber Wuerfel, and Steven Galvan will monitor the platforms moving forward.

"I know everyone's got concerns about Darrell the Gambler Facebook, Instagram, other platforms of social media, and stuff like that," Brandon said in the video featured alongside the post. "Steve Galvan and I, also Kimber, are gonna keep the store open, we're gonna keep things going in his memory and his legacy, so if you see his posts and stuff, be sure to... let us know we're doing a good job of keeping the memory alive."

Brandon concluded his remarks with more enthusiasm for his supporters, invoking his late dad's catchphrase "the wow factor" as he signed off.

The update comes over a week after Brandon first shared that he planned to reopen his dad's shop.

Brandon did not provide a timetable for the store's reopening, which is currently listed as "temporarily closed" on its Google Maps listing, but he did promise followers that the store "will be back BIGGER and BETTER than ever!"

"Please allow some time as we gather things and get through these tough times," he wrote. "There is no exact date set at this time. 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."

Darrell, who appeared on 163 episodes of *Storage Wars* across its first 15 seasons on A&E, died April 22 in Lake Havasu City, Ariz., at the age of 67. The Lake Havasu City Police Department later told ** that Darrell died by suicide.

Brandon previously paid tribute to his late father in an Instagram post shortly after his death.

"My heart is so broken. . . I love you Dad and I will do my best to live in your honor and respect our Family," he wrote. "Let's all continue to build those memories and keep the legacy that is 'Darrell (The Gambler) Sheets.'"

"I think we all just need time to process and remember all the good that my Father was and will continue to be through my Son and I," he continued. "The love we all have for this man and all his kindness is only a small portion of who he truly is."
