With profound sadness, we announce the passing of Rick Harrison’s son, Adam, from “Pawn Stars.”
On February 16, 2025, Rick Harrison, the renowned star of “Pawn Stars,” has publicly addressed the tragic loss of his 39-year-old son, confirming the heartbreaking news surrounding Adam’s death. It is advisable to prepare yourself before reading the comments below.
Following the unexpected and sorrowful demise of Adam in Las Vegas, Rick took to Instagram to share a touching tribute.
Adam, who was 39, tragically succumbed to an overdose, leaving his family in deep shock and mourning.
“You will always be in my heart! I love you Adam. 💔,” Rick expressed, accompanying his words with a photo of a joyful moment shared with Adam at a bar.
Laura Herlovich, a family representative, had previously confirmed Adam’s passing to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
“Our family is profoundly saddened by Adam’s death. We kindly request privacy as we navigate this difficult time,” the statement conveyed.
In an interview with Fox News Digital, Rick disclosed the cause of Adam’s death, attributing it to fentanyl.
“Yes, I can confirm Adam died from a fentanyl overdose,” the reality television star stated. “The fentanyl crisis in this country needs to be addressed more seriously. It appears to be flowing across our borders unchecked. We must do better.”
Fans and several of Rick’s celebrity acquaintances quickly expressed their condolences.
“I’m so sorry man,” commented Donald Trump Jr.
Corey Harrison, Adam’s brother, also honored his late sibling on Instagram by sharing a nostalgic baby photo of the two of them together in a bath.
“Wax wtf I will always love you bubba,” he wrote alongside the image.
Adam was Rick Harrison’s second child from his first marriage to Kim Harrison. Rick later remarried and has another son, Jake, with his second wife.
While viewers often saw Rick and Corey managing the Gold & Silver Pawn shop and appearing on the show, Adam was less involved, although reports indicate he did work alongside his father at times.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has indicated that overdose fatalities, particularly those involving synthetic opioids, surged by 56.6% from January 2020 to 2021.
The Drug Enforcement Administration classifies fentanyl as a Schedule II controlled substance, noting that it is akin to morphine but approximately 100 times more powerful. For some individuals, as little as two milligrams—less than a grain of salt—can prove fatal.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Harrison family.
