Who is Tiffany Shane Sheets' daughter?
Tiffany Shane welcomed daughter Zoie Sheets in July 2004. It appears she gave up custody of her daughter and was not actively involved in raising Zoie.
Her late dad, Darrell Sheets, stepped in and took care of Zoie from infancy. The pair had a close bond, and Darrell regularly celebrated his granddaughter's achievements on social media. On Father's Day in June 2018, Zoie, who also has an absent dad, wished her grandfather a happy Father's Day with the Instagram caption:
I like to call today Grandfathers Day, as my dad's not here, but this is the guy who took care of me from day one, and everyone else left or became not a part of my life anymore. I'm glad to say I've gotten over being sad on this day, but grateful for my grandpa, who's been with me.
What happened to Darrell Sheets' daughter, Tiffany?
The reason for Tiffany Shane's absence from her family's life has not been publicly explained. In a June 2018 Instagram post, Tiffany's dad, Darrell Sheets, insinuated that she was not in the right state of health to be a fit mother for Zoie with the hashtag "biological abandonment."
Most know I've been raising Zoie since birth; it has been very trying, but yet rewarding. I made a deal with God that if he let this little baby be born healthy, I would raise her, as her mother was not healthy enough to do so and her biological grandmother just would not.
It seems Darrell Sheets tried to reach out to his daughter, but it is unclear if they managed to reconcile before his unfortunate death in April 2026. On Tiffany's birthday in September 2020, the late Storage Wars star sent her a message on Instagram, writing:
Today will be Zoie's mother Tiffany's 38th birthday, too bad she's not around to see what a great Kid Zoie is turning out to be, like buying her own car at 16. Well, Happy Birthday wherever you are, Tiffany Shane Sheets... Hope you are happy and healthy and living your life to the fullest; a phone call to your daughter would be nice.
How many times has Darrell Sheets been married?
Darrell Sheets was only married once, to Kimber Wuerfel, a real estate agent based in Orange County, California. The couple tied the knot in March 2011 and divorced five years later in 2016, but Kimber remained Darrell's close friend.
After his divorce from Kimber, Sheets moved on with Romney Snyder, an animal rescue worker. Darrell and Romney got engaged in late 2016, but they called off the engagement before walking down the aisle.
Darrell Sheets started dating business owner Patty Rich in 2019, but their relationship did not last. By 2021, Sheets seemed to have reconciled with Kimber Wuerfel and regularly posted her on social media. On Mother's Day in May 2021, the Storage Wars star celebrated Kimber with the Facebook caption:
Happy Mother's Day to a woman that is a mother to anyone who meets her, the kindest soul I ever met, a woman of God, and one of the hardest-working girls I know. I am so grateful to have you in my life... You always show me that the impossible is always possible.

Before his death, Darrell had reportedly been subjected to severe cyberbullying. According to his Storage Wars co-star Rene Nezhoda, Sheets was terrified for his life just before taking his life. Nezhoda told Us Weekly:
He was impersonating him with phone calls, messages, emails, websites… He flat-out said, 'I'm gonna ruin you.' I mean, all you have to do is go to Darrell's last few messages on Facebook... He even said, 'Hey guys, I'm happy. Everything is great — if anything happens to me, look at these people.
Darrell Sheets also battled chronic cardiovascular conditions for several years, but they did not contribute to his death. In March 2019, The Gambler shared on Instagram that he had suffered two heart attacks and had to undergo surgery to correct congestive heart failure.
