Darrell Sheets' suicide rocked the "Storage Wars" cast and crew ... and one of the show's main auctioneers, Dan Dotson, has a heartbreaking take on Darrell's tragic death.
Dan tells TMZ ... he was friendly with Darrell for the 15 seasons they appeared on the A&E reality series, but the two men were not close pals ... something he now regrets.
Dan tells us ... "Maybe if I'd been a better friend, I could've helped him. Seems he was going through a lot we didn't know about."
Dan and his wife, Laura -- who also serves as a 'Storage Wars' auctioneer -- were devastated to learn Darrell shot himself.
The couple attended Darrell's celebration of life ... and were shocked by how many people from the series -- including 3 showrunners -- reunited for the service.
As TMZ previously reported, Darrell was found dead at his Arizona home on April 22 in what the medical examiner later ruled a suicide.
