'Pawn Stars' Harrison Family Starts Education Fund for Adam's Son After Death

Rick Harrison‘s family is starting an education fund for the child of his own late son, but it’s not out of necessity … it’s actually to appease friends and fans who want to help.

Here’s the deal … in the wake of Adam Harrison‘s death last month, the Harrisons have been inundated with pleas from people far and wide who’ve been asking how they can support in the family’s time of need.

A Harrison family rep tells us that Adam’s ex-wife, Jennifer, also has had tons of people contacting her asking for ways they can help her in this difficult time.

In light of this influx of people wanting to chip in and provide assistance — we’re told the Harrisons decided to create an outlet where folks can solicit gifts if they feel so inclined … benefitting Adam and Jennifer’s son, Colton. Colton is a young kid in elementary school … and the fund created will go toward his future educational endeavors.
