Adam Harrison was one of Rick Harrison’s three sons, according to the outlet. He does not appear to have been featured in any of the series’ episodes, having a minimal public presence, according to the outlet. Adam Harrison, however, reportedly helped out at the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in the past before he departed.
Not much is known about Adam Harrison due to his limited public exposure. He may have worked professionally in some kind of trade, such as plumbing, sources say, according to the outlet.
Rick Harrison’s oldest son, Corey, made frequent appearances on the reality show as a result of his involvement with his father’s business. His first appearance in the series was in 2009.
Among the condolences offered to the Harrison family was a comment on Rick Harrison’s Instagram post from Donald Trump Jr., who stated, “I’m so sorry man,” according to the outlet.
