Colton ford gay

Ford’s talents extended beyond adult film. Colton Ford — born Glenn Soukesian — passed away at 62, leaving behind a legacy that spanned music, film, and unapologetic self-expression. Glenn was involved in a tragic hiking accident this past weekend that took his life. You were a joy to know, share the stage with in Seattle, Miami and San Francisco and laugh so hard.

Not afraid of controversy,  he was a tough guy with a tender heart  #coltonford#sadpassing#sadday#lifeoftym”

“Heavy heart mixed with a big dose of WTF as I learned about the loss of my friend with a heart of gold, and always a dream in his heart, Colton Ford (Glenn Soukesian).

His 2005 documentary Naked Fame gave fans a raw look at his journey from adult stardom to the music spotlight — not always glamorous, but always real.

Colton wasn’t just hot — he was human.

And yet another one that makes just no sense. One of my best friends, a man who helped save my life many years ago.

Keep singing in heaven.”

Wood remembered Ford as “a brilliant artist who always kept a song in his heart — sweet, funny, kind, sassy, and hopelessly handsome.”

Colton Ford also appeared in non-adult films. He used his fame to launch a second career as a dance and club music singer and a mainstream actor. At the 2023 GayVN Awards, he was named Performer of the Year.

He was a very deep, caring, thoughtful person.

In 2022, Glenn performed at several of our charity pool parties. You will be so missed Glenn…

“It is with great sadness, I share word of the passing of my friend Glenn, who you may have known as pornstar and singer Colton Ford. He was a brilliant artist who always kept a song in his heart. Sweet, funny, kind, sassy – and hopelessly handsome.

While we don’t have all the details, I never would have dreamed that the photo below of Glenn Soukesian (Colton Ford) and I from 3 weeks ago would be our last. Ford later starred in dozens of films for the biggest studios — Falcon, MRS, Mustang, and others. He was featured in the cult hits “Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild!” and “The Next Best Thing.” He played Sheriff Trout on the underground vampire series “The Lair” for 28 episodes.

Better known to many as Colton Ford, Glenn and I did many projects together including The Lair. Though many first met him through his work in gay adult film, Ford’s impact went far deeper than the screen.

A true multi-hyphenate, Ford was a singer, actor, and model who worked with queer icons like Chi Chi LaRue, Cazwell, Cyndi Lauper, and Todd Stephens.
