The unexpected passing of Rick Harrison’s son Adam Harrison, who passed away on Friday (January 19), has left his father, Rick Harrison, heartbroken. Pawn Stars was founded by Rick Harrison.
His agent, Laura Herlovich, gave an interview to the Las Vegas Review Journal in which she said that Adam, who was 39 years old, passed very tragically as a consequence of an overdose.
TMZ was the first news outlet to report on Adam’s passing; however, many details on the circumstances surrounding the overdose, including when and where it took place, remain unclear. An investigation into the unfortunate circumstances surrounding his passing has been opened by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department.
“Our family is deeply devastated by Adam’s passing,” Herlovich said in a short statement that was delivered on behalf of the Harrison family, who are in sorrow over Adam’s passing. Since we are grieving his departure, we humbly request privacy.
Adam Harrison is the younger brother of Corey Harrison and was Rick Harrison’s second child from his first marriage to Kim. Corey Harrison is the older brother of Adam. Later on, Rick remarried Tracy, and the two of them had a son named Jake together.
Despite the fact that Adam did work at the family’s business, Gold & Silver Pawn, prior to the premiere of the program in 2009, he did not make an appearance on the popular reality series Pawn Stars, which stars Rick and Corey. On the other hand, he had just ceased being actively engaged in the pawn shop enterprise.
When Rick found out that his son had overdosed, he took to Instagram to express his condolences and pay his respects. A picture of Rick and Adam, both of whom were smiling, was posted on social media with the remark, “You will always be in my heart!” You have my affection, Adam.
Adam had a close connection with his older brother, Corey, who also expressed his sorrow on Instagram. Adam’s friendship with Corey was solid. An very moving picture of Corey holding a photograph of his two brothers playing in a bathtub when they were toddlers was included in the tweet that he sent out. “Wax wtf, I will always love you, bubba,” was written in the description of his photo.
The unexpected passing of Adam has left the Pawn Stars family and fans in a state of shock. This tragic event has brought to light the devastating effects of drug abuse, which in addition to having an effect on the addict, can also have repercussions for themselves and their loved ones.
In this most difficult time, we want the Harrison family to know that we are thinking about them and offering our condolences.
