Porn Stars Who Have Passed Away

This just winded me. We don’t know these people but sometimes we get to witness their real selves for just a moment, between the fantasy. Dawson always seemed so happy. Wonder why Jason at CF made no mention. Nor have any gay porn blogs. So many questions left unanswered. Very very sad to lose anyone so young.
Whats also odd - when Logan & Sean @ Corbin Fisher passed away, they made a concerted effort to acknowledge them. Marc was certainly as well known as they were. As far as I know, nothing was mentioned

This is so devastating about Marc. I was just watching him in a video with Kellan last night. Apparently after porn he still did stuff with guys so he was really bi. He always had a beautiful smile. Even those who seem very upbeat might be struggling inside. RIP beautiful soul. ❤️
He was really bi? I'd never heard that. He was a favorite of mine. I'm just learning this news and I"m shocked

Hi, Do you have any social media for Alex James? He was one of my favorite port stars. Hoping to find his obituary if I find his real name.

Thanks
 
Question: does anyone else feel weird viewing the porn of dead performers? I ask because I found out about AD Dorian a few months back like right after watching one of his scenes and I felt ill after I found out.
You know, I used to feel weird. But now I do not. Czech porn star Denis Reed is one of my favorite porn stars and I sometimes watch his scenes.

Yeah. I feel weird watching porn from the late 70s/early 80s, before AIDS was known to be an std and before condom use, just thinking that the performers are probably long dead.

I was devasted. But for a possible complete u turn, has anyone considered he merely wanted to disappear as he was about to begin his new marriage? He was never mentioned in any of the blogs nor on Corbin Fisher itself. I have my doubts.

You’re completely correct. No mention on Corbin Fisher which is odd as he was certainly one of their biggest stars, no mention in any of the gay porn blogs even str8upgay porn which lives for this kind of stuff. Marc was about to be married and begin a new chapter in his life. Has anyone considered he simply wanted to disappear off the radar and live a completely anonymous life like so many of his Corbin Fisher colleagues have done from day one? Where on line does it specify without question that Marc has indeed passed ? Please let me know. Thanks.

Yes. I in fact don't watch it at all because I feel I'm disrespecting their memories somehow. But the poster above is also right that we should celebrate their work just like we celebrate the work of any other artist that has passed away.
I feel very odd as gay pornography is meant to arouse you. I simply can’t watch Sean of Corbin Fisher and get off. It just doesn’t seem right. Maybe songs of dead singers are not as difficult due to the lack of the sexual component.
 
It appears that Marc of Corbin Fisher has passed away, I’ve been following his personal insta. Was cleaning out who I follow then I saw his profile, so randomly clicked to see his tagged posts just now. Only to see his brother posted memorial type posts about him dying. RIP to this beautiful man.View attachment 64416751
I think he wanted to disappear. There is no confirmation anywhere to confirm this. He was about to get married and perhaps decided to simply vanish as so many of the superstars of Corbin Fisher did from day one.
 
Not comfortable sharing his brother’s post, but here is a friend’s post about his passing.View attachment 65201921
Something seems odd. A star of his magnitudes death would have been spread across all the Gay Porn blogs along with a mention on the CF website as well. I’m not in denial and if he has indeed passed my deepest sympathies to his family and friends. But something’s not fitting here.

I watched his funeral, and his brother posted when the army flew his body into their home state. He unfortunately is dead and it was a suicide.
 
Thank you for that. How sad.

Do you have a link? They televised his funeral? And I suppose his brother did all this on his brother posted it on Twitter? Instagram? The only one I had was Dawson’s may he rest in peace ❤️❤️

It was posted for his army friends, who were all over I suppose. I no longer have the link, but it was sad and they played ‘Dreams’ by the Cranberries with a photo montage of his life.

There is zero obligation on the part of porn studios to acknowledge the deaths of its porn stars, no matter how 'big' the star was. And I'm completely fine with that! If studios don't acknowledge the deaths of current stars, why would they acknowledge the deaths of long retired stars (who wanted to disappear and start normal lives anyway)??? Stars sign contracts, do their thing, get paid and move on. They are not obligated to studios after that, and studios are not obligated to them. It's a business transaction, not personal one. Can you imagine if you logged into SC and saw a flashing list of obits for all the 12+ stars who've died (in mostly unnatural circumstances)?! It would be a real erection-killer (no pun intended) and drive away potential subscribers. And imagine the CF frontpage urging you to sign up, and right next to that are obits of some dude who blew his brains out and a murderer and an OD victim! You see what I'm getting at? Studios are not meant as an obituary service for grieving fans. They're there to dish up porn, not hold your hand. It's a (cold-hearted) business, but it is what it is. I hate that one of my Top 5 CF stars (Dawson) died, but I don't need or expect CF (or any other studio) to tell me the bad news. If I sound blunt, it's deliberate, because some people have unreal expectations and perceptions about porn studios and former porn stars and their roles.

I completely agree. However the blogs are usually all over this unfortunate and tragic event. I remember how shocking it was to sign on to CF to see an immemorial opening page dedicated to Sean’s passing. It was shocking.

According to reports on Facebook and Twitter, Dror Barak, aka Roman Ragazzi, has died of an apparent suicide on February 25 at the age of 38. Barak most recently appeared in a fashion story in the February issue of Out, titled "New York's Finest," photographed by Marcelo Krasilcic (pictured left).

The former Israeli military trainer was outed in 2007 by New York Post’s Page Six while working at the Israeli consulate, the ensuing scandal caused him to resign. Later that year, he started a personal training and fitness company called Freedom Fitness.

According to this blog, Raging Stallion head Chris Ward (who named Roman Ragazzi Raging Stallion’s Man of the Year in 2008) said, “He was probably the hottest man I have ever filmed—a massive man of pure beauty, intelligence and kindness. He was perfect in every possible way.”

UPDATE: We spoke with Barak's boyfriend who told us that, in fact, the incidents did not happen on Feb. 25 as previously reported, but on Thursday, Feb. 23. (2012 y) The boyfriend, who asked that his full name not be used, gave us this statement:

"All I would really like to say is that Dror was not some drug addicted, party obsessed, former porn star. He was a hard working man who built a very successful personal training business with very successful and dedicated clients. He was the loving, kind, gentle, and beautiful inside and out. I caution anyone who would crucify and judge someone so soon upon their passing for something they did in the past that is in no way connected to their current life. Dror was a beautiful kind human being who loved his work, loved his dog Diesel and loved me and his brother Justin Fauci very much. He was a simple man who enjoyed nothing more than being curling up on the couch to watch a movie with his dog and his boyfriend."
