Jack Wagner’s son, Harrison, was found dead on Monday, June 6, at the age of 27. Wagner and his former wife Kristina Wagner set up a scholarship fund in their son’s name in order to help men who are struggling with addiction. The fund was set up on the New Lifehouse Recovery website. On the scholarship’s home page, the New Lifehouse website noted that Harrison died from his battle with addiction.
A friend of the Wagners told People that they wanted to do something in their son’s honor while also making a lasting difference in other people’s lives after the tragedy.
