Richard "Old Man" Harrison Cut Son Out of Will Before Death

If you’re a fan of the popular History Channel series Pawn Stars, then you probably know that the men of the Harrison family don’t always get along.


But while the on-camera conflicts are mostly good-natured, it seems there’s some serious bad blood behind the scenes.



Family patriarch and beloved Pawn Stars co-star Richard “Old Man” Harrison passed away last month at the age of 77.


Now, new information about Harrison’s will has prompted questions about his relationship with his children.


Harrison worked alongside his middle son, Rick Harrison, with whom he co-owned Gold & Silver Pawn Shop from 1989 until his death.


But it’s his relationship with youngest son Chris that’s making headlines this week.


For reasons that remain mysterious, Richard Sr. cut Chris out of his will entirely.



“I would like to express my love and affection for Christopher Keith Harrison,” reads the document obtained by Fox News. 


“However, for purposes of this Will, I have intentionally and with full knowledge failed to provide for him and his issue.”


The Harrison family has declined to elaborate. 


“The family had previously discussed this information and it is a private matter,” Rick Jr. said in a statement released today.


The younger Harrison previously paid tribute to his father in a moving eulogy:


“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,” reads a press release issued by Rick Jr. at the time.






“He was my hero and I was fortunate to get a very cool ‘Old Man’ as my dad. 


“That I got to share him with so many others and they got to see what a great family man he was is something I am grateful to have experienced with him.”


Harrison added:


“He lived a very full life and through the History television show Pawn Stars touched the lives of people all over teaching them the value of loving your family, hard work and humor.


“We appreciate everyone’s thoughts and prayers and ask that we are provided some privacy at this time.”

Richard Swift Dies; Musician Was 41 Years Old

Richard Swift, a musician best known for playing with the Shins, Black Keys, and the Arcs, passed away on Tuesday morning, his representative has confirmed.


He was 41 years old.




Richard Swift


This sad piece of news was confirmed to Pitchfork, which writes that Swift died in Tacoma, Washington several hours ago.


Swift had been suffering from an undisclosed “life-threatening condition,” insiders have reported, as a GoFundMe was launched last month to pay for his medical expenses.


The musician was also a solo artist, producer, and multi-instrumentalist.


He played with the Shins from 2011–2016; was a touring bassist for the Black Keys in 2014; a drummer for Dan Auerbach’s side project the Arcs; and a keyboardist for Starflyer 59.


Swift’s extensive resume included work with Sharon Van Etten, Guster, Foxygen and others from across various genres.


“Today the world lost one of the most talented musicians I know,” Auerbach wrote on Instagram.

As you can see above, a post on Swift’s Facebook page reads as follows:


“And all the angels sing ‘Que Sera Sera.’”


In just 13 days las month, the aforementioned GoFundMe campaign raised over $ 87,000.


This is what it stated at the time:


“Dear friends of Swift, Richard needs your love and support now as he is up against some tough odds. He has been hospitalized due to a serious medical condition.


“He is receiving excellent care in Tacoma Washington and everything is being done to allow his body time to repair and heal.


“He is uninsured and the cost of the care he is getting is a lot. If you can afford to share the weight of this burden, it would be most deeply appreciated. Anything helps.


“Mostly, thank you for supporting our beloved Richard and his family.”




swift and some guy


In an update just a few days later, Swift was seemingly doing a lot better.


Read this update:


“Thank you so much for your support, friends!! We are so grateful you have extended so much generosity and love to our beloved Swift.


“He has been making some progress the last two days and Drs are impressed with the way be has been responding to the care he’s been getting.


“I wanted to let you know I have set up your donations to go directly into Richard’s bank account so that bills can be paid and expenses met while he is staying in the hospital.”


Concluded this post:


“I will continue to post updates here. Thank you again for all your donations!! This campaign will not only help pay medical bills, your kind words and hope are very encouraging.


“It means the world to the whole family.”


Tragically, it’s now evident that Swift never did recover from this illness.


May he rest in peace.

Richard Harrison, "Old Man" from Pawn Stars, Dead at 77

Very sad news today out of the television world:


Richard Harrison, the co-owner and founder of Rick Harrison’s Gold & Silver Pawn Shop and a lead cast member on History Channel’s Pawn Stars, passed away on Monday morning.


He was 77 years old.



Harrison was known as “Old Man” to all involved and to all who watched this long-running reality series, and his death was confirmed by his son today in a lengthy and emotional statement.


It reads as follows:


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.


He was my hero and I was fortunate to get a very cool ‘Old Man’ as my dad.


That I got to share him with so many others and they got to see what a great family man he was is something I am grateful to have experienced with him.


He lived a very full life and through the History television show Pawn Stars touched the lives of people all over teaching them the value of loving your family, hard work and humor.


We appreciate everyone’s thoughts and prayers and ask that we are provided some privacy at this time.






We do not know Harrison’s cause of death at the moment.


He hadn’t appeared much at all over the course of the past couple years on the aforementioned show, however, hinting at some kind of illness.


Old Man moved to Las Vegas way back in the1980s and opened the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop with his son, Rick, in 1989.


Producers eventually convinced the father and son to star in a show about their lives and their business, with Old Man cementing himself as a fan favorite ever since Pawn Stars premiered in July of 2009.


Says History Channel executives in a statement:


“We are deeply saddened by the loss of our friend Richard ‘The Old Man’ Harrison, a beloved member of the HISTORY and ‘Pawn Stars’ family. 


“He will be greatly missed for his wisdom and candor.”






A veteran of the United States Navy, Harrison was beloved for his witty comebacks, tough demeanor… and for his keen eye for picking treasures out of trash.


He had an impressive knowledge of history and often talked about his military background.


The pawn shop itself also shared a message on Facebook on Monday.


This is what it says:


It is with heavy hearts that we acknowledge the passing of Richard Benjamin Harrison (known as ‘The Old Man’ to Pawn Stars fans the world over) this morning. He was surrounded by loving family this past weekend and went peacefully.


The team at Gold & Silver Pawn and the Pawn Stars family is grieving his loss.


He will be remembered as the best father, grandfather and great-grandfather you could have by his family and by fans as the sometimes grumpy (always loving, however), often wisecracking, and voice of absolute reason on the History television show Pawn Stars.


Services are pending and the family appreciates your prayers and kind words.






Pawn Stars is currently in Season 15.


We send our condolences to the friends, family members and loved ones of Richard Harrison.


May he rest in peace.
