I wonder if Trump will comment on this. Such a tragic loss.
He seemed like a good egg. Seemed to always find some good stuff.
Offed himself? hmmmph
I can maybe understand it if in unbearable pain and no relief from drugs.
From a strictly libertarian point of view this is perfectly the right thing to do, if one is entirely selfish.
Very sad.
That other guy Barry Weiss was funny as hell.
How awful.
This is the second suicide by a SW cast member. The first was Mark Ballelo.
Another Good Guy was Renee.
He had a Shop in Poway I loved going their
They closed And Then I found out about
The T.V. Show.
.
15 minutes of Fame...
RIP
He hated the yuup guy. That dude is annoying.
Yes I remember Mark Ballelo.
Seemed to be a good guy.
“the yuup guy”
Dave Hester.....I just hope he was playing “the heel” on the show and wasn’t really an obnoxious jackass.
The characters on that show reminded me of the ones in professional wrestling.
Yes there was an air of pro wrestling to the show.....you know what they say, nothing real about reality TV. 😁
“According to a press release from the Lake Havasu City Police Department, the reality star died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.” I wonder what caliber he used.

He seems pretty cool, so suicide had to be some sort of terminal disease or drug addiction.
Its hard to know what stuff is really on the lockers, and what stuff the producers planted.
“The characters on that show reminded me of the ones in professional wrestling.”
Shhh. Don’t tell anyone these stupid reality shows are about 85% scripted, the people are all wannabe actors, and the best stuff they find is planted.
Can’t quite make out what it says on his t-shirt. Looks like it says God Is Death on a goat skull.
RIP.
Very sad to read this.
Not sure why Darrel did it. Depression? Finance problems?
Liked watching him and the rest of the first wave of Storage Wars stars (Dan, Laura, Barry, Brandi, and Jarrod). My all-time favorite is Barry Weiss.
It was weird watching the Covid Season.
I catch Stroage Wars now on Defy digital channel since I don’t have A&E.

It’s a Bible verse.
Hebrews 2:14-15
[14] Because God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death. [15] Only in this way could he set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying.
Sad. Not the right wat to handle whatever it was. And now he left all of those around him with a final horrible memory.
