Rick Harrison – best known to TV viewers for his leading role on the reality TV series Pawn Stars – and his family have unfortunately suffered a personal loss. It’s been confirmed that one of Harrison’s sons, Adam, has sadly passed away. According to reports, the young man died as the result of a drug overdose. Adam, who never appeared on his family’s famous show, was only 39 at the time of his passing. Now, in the aftermath, Rick as well as his other son, Corey, have paid tribute.
Upon the news breaking, the Harrison family released a joint statement that was shared with TMZ. They told the news outlet that they are “extremely saddened by the death of Adam.” They also asked that the public provide them with the privacy they need at this time. Sometime later, Rick Harrison took to his Instagram to comment on the passing of his child. With his caption, he conveyed that his boy “will always be in my heart” and expressed love for Adam as well. You can see the post down below, which also includes a photo of the father and son together:
Corey Harrison also chose to honor his brother through a sentimental Instagram post. Like his dad, he shared a photo – one that showed him and his brother in the bathtub as kids. He also included a brief message in the caption. Check out the post:
Adam Harrison was the second child that Rick shared with his ex-wife, Kim, who is also the mother of Corey Harrison. Throughout the history of the show (which can be streamed with a Hulu subscription), Adam did not appear in any episodes. He did, however, work at his family’s establishment before the series began in 2009. With that, the young man kept a relatively low profile compared to his well known relatives.
We here at CinemaBlend extend our condolences to the Harrison Family during this time.
More to come…
