What's Come Out About The Old Man From Pawn Stars Since He Died

A combination of a TV star and TV character, viewers welcomed Richard Harrison into their homes over several hundred episodes. His presence from the pawn shop and Pawn Stars will be missed, and he's just as compelling of a guy after he passed on.

Richard Harrison died on June 25th, 2018, at the age of 77. His son, Pawn Stars' Rick Harrison, confirmed his father's passing via Instagram. Underneath a stylish shot of the Old Man, the younger Harrison wrote, in part,

"Richard Benjamin ‘The Old Man’ Harrison passed away this morning surrounded by those he loved. He will be tremendously missed by our family, the team at Gold & Silver Pawn and his many fans the world over."

"There's a lot of memories here, and most of those memories are with my father."

Later that day, Rick released another photo of the Old Man this time as a young man to Instagram, revealing in his caption that the elder Harrison had, quote, "lost his long battle with Parkinson's this morning."

Very few people outside of Harrison's inner circle knew that he was sick, so his death was a surprise to most as was the cause, a devastating, progressive neurological condition.

Shortly after the Old Man died, Pawn Stars' Austin "Chumlee" Russell" told TMZ,

"We had kind of had been preparing for it for a while now, and I spent quite a bit of time at his house this past week just knowing that it could be coming soon and I wanted to make sure I had plenty of time and memories left with him while he was still here."
