Hot House Exclusive Kent North - In Memoriam

I met Kent North only long enough to shoot a few pictures at a Hot House booth somewhere, but I really didn't know him. It's a sad loss, and I don't have the right words. Read Hot House's official obituary to get the proper details.

San Francisco, CA (July 5, 2007) - Hot House Entertainment announced today it had learned that Lifetime Exclusive and dear friend Kent North died on July 4th of an apparent drug overdose. "We are all shocked and deeply saddened," said Hot House President Steven Scarborough. "Our deepest sympathy goes out to Kent's friends and family, especially his lover Lloyd."

Kent became part of the Hot House family in 2004 when he debuted in Handpacked III: Jampacked. He was immediately signed to an exclusive contract and went on to star in 13 additional titles, including At Your Service where he earned trophies for Best Solo Performance at both the 2007 GAYVN and Grabby Awards. Kent's stature as a huge industry star was further recognized this year with an invitation to co-host the 2007 Grabby Awards in Chicago.

In addition to being a consummate, award-winning performer, Kent and his lover Lloyd joined Hot House for several high-profile events every year including IML and the Folsom Street Fair. Kent often made appearances in his role as a Hot House Exclusive throughout Europe. He was always eager to pose for photos and extend his kindness to everyone who approached him. Kent loved his fans as much as they loved him and during events he was always the last model to finish signing.

A graduate with honors from the Royal Naval Academy, Kent displayed gentlemanly grace and charm at all times. His well-mannered English demeanor was enhanced by a wicked sense of humor and a devilish grin. Kent's warmth and genuine kindness will be missed and fondly remembered by all who knew him.

Anyone wishing to send cards or condolences to his lover Lloyd should address them to Hot House Entertainment, 1433 17th Street, San Francisco, CA 94107.
