RIP: Danny Roddick

September 15, 2007 |

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIF.COLT Studio announced on their blog this morning that performer Danny Roddick has died. He passed September 13 and details are sketchy for the moment. We are working this morning on confirming them. In a statement, COLT Studio Group President John Rutherford said, "We are devastated and saddened by this tragedy. We have watched Danny grow up and everyone here at COLT Studio Group extends our most heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and loved ones. He will be missed."

Mr. Roddick toplines three highly anticipated upcoming films, BROTHERHOOD for Buckshot Productions/COLT, plus AMAZôNIA: CAPTURE and RELEASE for AMG Brasil.

"The loss of anyone so young and talented and especially a sweet and fragile individual is heartbreaking, but for someone who was rapidly approaching the peak of his career it is doubly painful," said his BROTHERHOOD director Jerry Douglas, and AMG Brasil’s Dennis Bell notes simply, "I had the pleasure of working with Danny recently and will miss him greatly."

COLT’s Kristofer Weston describes Danny Roddick as "one of the most caring and sensitive people I’ve ever had the privilege of working with on set. A truly beautiful man inside and out and I’m honored to have called him a friend."

Danny Roddick debuted in 2005 as one half of a popular "porn power couple" with Alex Chandler. He appeared in BIG RIG: EXTENDED CAB EDITION, BOOT BLACK BLUES, HARD STUDIES and HOSTILE for the COLT Studio Group.

Our deep condolences to Danny Roddick’s family, friends and fans.

    At this time we are all numb and dealing with the shock of this tragedy. Nothing can prepare you for this.

    He was loved by so many

    He was my rock

    More details on where to send well wishes and other information will be coming later, for now, we need to sit back and remember all of the brightness he brought to so many of the people he touched.

    I was floored when I heard the news. He was so young, its just not fair. I wasn’t quite over Kent North and now the loss of Danny. Both men were the sweetest men you’d ever meet. Never got to work with him, but was on stage with him at Grabby’s and would see him around town (SF) all the time. Wish I had the chance to know him better… its a sad sad loss for the industry. Rest in peace buddy…

    This is absolutely devastating. My heart aches over this tragic loss. Matt was a beautiful soul. His smile could light up a room. God be with his family.

    How can you ignore the extremely revealing and insightful interview Alex Chandler did with Damon Kruezer? Alex has confirmed it’s the real deal and it makes some very important points not seen here. So why do you not refer to it or quote it? It’s on http://www.kruezeratnight.com right now with some shots from AMAZONIA Danny’s last pic, which no one else has. Play fair Mr. Adams!

    Hombre de gran sensibilidad y hermosura, querido siempre por los que le conocieron de cerca… explotado por la siniestra industria hasta después de su muerte.
    Gracias por todos esos momentos. Descansa, ahora sí, en paz.
