The Adult Film industry lost another titan this week. Jason Pacheco, known better to most by his film name Randy, passed away on Saturday at the age of 33. Though straight in real life, the gay-for-pay actor was the most prolific performers in Sean Cody history, having performed in 53 sex scenes released by the studio. His scenes were never anything short of incredibly hot. He was tall, broad, muscular, hung, and wonderfully versatile. The porn industry saw something special in his work, and he had the accolades to go along with it. In 2017 he won the Str8UpGayPorn Awards "Best Cock" and was been nominated for Performer of the Year.
Walden Woods was a close friend and long-time colleague of Randy's. He directed Randy in the majority of his scenes for Sean Cody, so the two grew to become good friends, as well. Upon learning of his death Woods said, “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.”
Though very successful in his porn career, Pacheco's personal life was at times a rougher road. He fought drug addiction for years, a fact that he was open about in interviews. His health had apparently taken a bit of a bad turn recently. Last week, Pacheco posted on Instagram that he was in the hospital for kidney problems, and was asking for help by way of a GoFundMe:

As of the writing of this article, an official cause of death has yet to be released, but it would appear based on one comment from the above Instagram post that Pacheco lost his battle to drug addiction. One user by the name of JoeyD2881 wrote:
