CHATSWORTH, Calif.—Performer Randy, who worked exclusively for gay studio Sean Cody while active from 2013 to 2019, died last weekend after being admitted to a Massachusetts hospital with kidney problems, multiple news outlets have reported. He was 33.
The news was first broken by industry outlet Str8UpGayPorn.com, which called Randy "the most prolific Sean Cody star of all time" and "one of the greatest and most popular gay porn stars of the last decade."
"A family member of Randy's has confirmed with Str8Up that the beloved performer died yesterday," the site's July 10 report disclosed. "The exact cause of death is not known at this time, but Randy himself did launch a GoFundMe six days ago asking for help from his hospital bed."
On his GoFundMe page, launched July 4, Randy wrote, "Hello, I am in need of help for when I recover from my injury. I woke up deathly ill and finally went to the hospital and my kidney function was at 21% amongst a couple other issues but the kidneys being the most serious. I am feeling better. I have been in the hospital for 5 days now and as most of you know I am in recovery and I was living in a halfway house." He went on to share, "I have been in recovery since November 9, 2021. Life has gotten much better and I am so happy to have made it this far. Unfortunately, I have this setback with my health. ... To all my fans who still support me and follow me, I love you all!"
Str8UpGayPorn also published a statement in its report from director Walden Woods, which read, "My heart is broken to hear about the passing of Randy. I met him on set almost 10 years ago. He was always a good guy to be around, and had some amazing energy and authentic charm that was undeniable. From some amazing behind-the-scenes moments to Puerto Rico and Palm Springs, I had a great time every day he was on set. It’s incredibly sad to hear of his passing. You were a giant Randy, rest in peace."
