‘Pawn Stars’ personality Rick Harrison issues heartfelt statement after son Adam’s death at 39: ‘I love you’

Rick Harrison spoke out about his son Adam’s sudden death for the first time late Friday evening.

“You will always be in my heart! I love you Adam. 💔,” he penned on Instagram alongside a photo of himself spending time with Adam at a bar.

Adam, who died at the age of 39 on Friday, looked jolly as he smiled wide next to his dad with a small plate of oysters and what appeared to be a beer in front of him.

He wore a black T-shirt and a silver necklace in the image.

Meanwhile, the “Pawn Stars” personality grinned in a blue button-down shirt.

TMZ first reported the news of Adam’s passing and claimed he died from a drug overdose.
