Despite never seeing him on-screen, Pawn Stars fans have shared their well wishes to the family onReddit.
One fan wrote, “As someone in recovery myself, my heart goes out to the family. No one should outlive their kids, and no one should have to watch their kids struggle with addiction.”
Another fan chimed in and wrote, “I hope they get the privacy and support they need at a time like this.”
