*Storage Wars* star Darrell Sheets' ex-wife Kimber Wuerfel is remembering the reality star.

Wuerfel took to Instagram on Thursday to pay tribute to her ex-husband Sheets, who died April 22 in Lake Havasu City, Ariz., at the age of 67.**

"I haven’t had the words until now," Wuerfel wrote. "Thank you for all the love, prayers, and condolences, it has meant more than I can say."

She continued, "Darrell gave us so many moments of laughter, connection, and life. May the memories you hold of him stay close to your heart, as mine will stay with me forever."

Wuerfel added that a service for Sheets would be announced in the future for those who wish to participate.

The reality star was found dead by police at an Arizona residence of an apparent suicide.

Sheets' body was turned over to the Mohave County Medical Examiner’s office for further investigation and his family was notified of his death by authorities. Police noted the incident remains under active investigation and asked for anyone with information to contact the LHCPD at 928-855-1171.

Sheets appeared as a buyer across the first 15 seasons of the competition series, which follows professional buyers who bid on storage lockers up for auction hoping to nab valuable items. He earned the nickname "The Gambler" and was known for his catchphrase, "This is the WOW factor!"
