The Las Vegas Review-Journal said Adam Harrison was one of Rick Harrisonâs three sons. The reality star also has three daughters.
Unlike his brother Corey, Adam Harrison was not featured on the âPawn Starsâ show, which has been a fixture on the History channel since 2009.
He had worked at his fatherâs Gold & Silver Pawn shop in years past, before the show aired, according to People.
Rick Harrison and his father, Richard âThe Old Manâ Harrison, bought the pawn shop in 1989.
They gained celebrity status after the âPawn Starsâ show premiered in 2009, featuring local experts assessing the value of the items brought by customers to the store.
The senior Harrison died in 2018 at age 77 from Parkinsonâs Disease.
