Adult entertainment star and music artist Colton Ford (aka Glenn Soukesian) has reportedly died at the age of 62. According to WeHo Times, Ford was involved in a tragic hiking accident this past weekend and died on Monday.
DJ and adult film director Chi Chi LaRue shared the news on Facebook:
“I’m So Shocked and Saddened to Hear and Report the sudden passing of my friend and Icon Glen aka Colton Ford! You will missed! Keep Singing In Heaven!”
In addition to a long, award-winning career in adult entertainment (including “Gay Performer of the Year” at the 2003 GayVN Awards), Ford also appeared in mainstream fare including The Next Best Thing, Circuit, Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild! and 28 episodes of the gay-themed TV series The Lair as “Sheriff Trout.”
Ford made his off-Broadway debut in 2011 playing a role in the musical theatre Little House on the Ferry, a modern gay love story set in the legendary summer resort of Fire Island.
As a recording artist, Ford released several albums and singles, including Tug of War (2008), Under the Covers (2009), The Way I Am (2013), and the Next Chapter EP (2015). His 2004 single, “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” with Pepper Mashay, reached #9 on Billboard’s Dance Club Songs chart.

In 2005, the documentary Naked Fame chronicled Ford’s journey from the world of gay adult entertainment to mainstream music.
Rest well, Colton Ford.
Rest in Power, we are eternal, until we meet again.
I met Glenn through my friendship with Peter (aka Blake Harper) and respected his ambition and resilience – always telling him to shine bright. If others couldn’t handle his luminance, then that is what sunglasses, sunscreen, etc are for.
Tomorrow is, indeed, not promised.
This was my last text to Glen on Saturday May 17, 2025. Glen and I have been meeting for an hour almost once a week for the past 6 months discussing and creating content for our podcast. We had a meeting scheduled for today, Wednesday May 21 , 2025 at 6pm. Sadly I will not hear his sweet voice again.
A year ago Glen & I reconnected for my 60 bday in Palm Springs. It was there he shared with me that he was looking for his “what’s next” and no longer wanted to do personal training.
I introduced to him my mentor & life coach Hans Phillips who was also at my bday celebration. I told Glen that he should have consultation w Hans. He did and began coaching weekly with Hans.
He loved it and was a natural teacher, Coach & healer.
About four months into his coaching Glen tore his rotator cuff and had to have surgery and consequently had to stop his coaching program. It was then Glen called me and said he has had many people wanting to do a podcast with him but said he wanted to only do it with me. I was honored. I shared with him that I had been working on creating my own podcast for the past 3 years and had some concerns.
I was going through some very serious health issues plus a separation from my partner of 10 years. I was unsure if I had the bandwidth or energy to invest in creating a podcast at that time.
Of course he was compassionate & understanding and said let’s just keep taking weekly and discuss ideas. I was hesitant but also knew that it could be the best medicine for me to utilize my creativity and focus on helping others by getting my story out. He never gave up on me and continued to give me hope when I was feeling helpless and not hopeful.
He was more than my former workout partner at Golds gym in Hollywood, he was and is my spiritual soul brother.
I’ll never forget my first conversation when I met him 20 years ago. He shared with me that he and his partner, Peter, at the time were in therapy weekly. He said not because we are having problems but because it’s going so good we want to learn more about how to continue our healthy love for one another and facilitate our lives. I knew then that he was my spiritual brother. I had spent 20 years in therapy for mental health and we got each other instantly. The rest is our history!
As a psychic and a medium it’s challenging when we loose someone however I trust and know as he continues to transition he will come to visit me and guide me.
Spread your angel 😇 wings and fly you beautiful songbird. I will miss you greatly and promise to carry out our mission.

I’ve Known Glenn since The Early 90’s When He Worked at A Bank In Los Angeles ❗We Used To Hang-Out at The Clubs back Then and we Remained friends 🧤 Rest Well , My Friend 🙏
Met in New Orleans years ago a wonderful nice person and extremely handsome RIP u will be missed your friend.
I knew him, casually, c. 2003-2004 when I was editing for a company that was producing some of his movies. He was in a relationship with Blake Harper at the time. Some of the models (we say “models”, not “actors”, in porn!) used to look right past me, as editors were “unimportant” in the porn hierarchy. They saw only other porn stars, directors and producers. Not so Colton. He treated us all the same, talked to me as if I was as important as anyone else. He was very warm and friendly, humble and always professional. It was fun to see him dressed up at the GAYVNs, or performing live with Pepper Mashay. Although I haven’t seen him in decades now, I was genuinely sorry to hear of his passing.
Sad to hear of Glens passing. May you sing to the heavens.
