In a recent Instagram post, Sheets’ son, Brandon, shared a series of photos in tribute.
“My heart is so broken,” Brandon wrote in the post’s caption. “I love you Dad and I will do my best to live in your honor and respect our Family. Let’s all continue to build those memories and keep the legacy that is ‘Darrell (The Gambler) Sheets.'”
Regarding questions being asked about his late father’s sudden passing, Brandon further shared, “I can’t answer everyone’s questions or concerns right now, 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 me. The love we all have for this man and all his kindness is only a small portion of who he truly is.”
Weeks later, Brandon posted a video montage of his father on what would have been his 68th birthday.
“Happy birthday @darrellgambler,” Brandon wrote. “Thank you for raising me to be the man I am today… Wish that I could spend just one more day with you. I love you dad and happy birthday 5/13/1958 to 4/22/2026.”
