Colton Ford, a legendary figure in adult films, died suddenly on May 19. 

Ford’s body was discovered on a hiking trail in Palm Springs, Calif. A cause of death has not been made public. He was 62. 

Ford, whose real name was Glenn Soukesian, started performing in adult films at the age of 40. The muscle stud worked in the industry for 20 years, winning a Grabby Award for Best Group Scene in 2002’s Conquered.

Ford was also an accomplished recording artist. His collaboration with Pepper Mashay on the Stevie Wonder hit “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Party chart in 2004.

“Glenn was such an amazing spirit,” wrote adult video star Dallas Steele in a post on X. “Always thinking about what he planned to do next. Always optimistic about the possibilities. I will miss him and his great smile.”

Steele and Ford had recently collaborated on an OnlyFans film shoot that Steele described as a “wonderful, hot and meaningful experience.” Ford also lent his singing skills to many charity pool parties in Palm Springs.

“The crowd loved his vocals, engaging energy and sex appeal,” Steele wrote.

Ford was reported missing on a Monday morning, and his remains were found later that day on Goat Trails, a popular hiking and mountain biking recreation area in Palm Springs’ south end.

An initial coroner’s investigation ruled out foul play, a police spokesman told the Bay Area Reporter.
