Who is Corey Harrison? Is he related to Rick Harrison?

American businessman Richard Corey Harrison, also known as “Big Hoss,” is well-known for appearing on the reality television show Pawn Stars on History TV. Harrison and his father co-own a world-famous gold and silver pawn shop in Las Vegas, where the show is set.

Richard Corey Harrison was born on April 27, 1983, the son of Kim and Rick Harrison, and the grandson of Richard Benjamin Harrison, the co-owners of the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop in Las Vegas.

Harrison tied the knot with Korina “Kiki” Harrison on May 26, 2017. In September 2018, their divorce was legally finalized. 

What happened to Corey from Pawn Stars?

Corey has lost his younger brother from an overdose at 39.

Adam went by the nickname “Wax,” and his 40-year-old older brother Corey Harrison honored him with a heartfelt Instagram post. He posted an old picture of himself and his brother in the bathtub. 

The comment section was full of condolences from fans and his celebrity pals, including Donald Trump Jr., who wrote: ‘I’m so sorry, man.’ The Las Vegas Review-Journal was informed by a Harrison family representative that Adam had overdosed and that the Harrisons had asked for “privacy.”

Adam, the youngest of Rick’s three children, was the most reserved because he did not participate in the reality series or use social media.

It seems that he was never mentioned on the reality show, which has been airing for 22 seasons since 2009. Since their mother is Rick’s first wife, Kim, whom he married from 1982 to 1985, Adam’s elder brother Corey, forty, is a prominent character on the show.
