Russel Charles "KYLE McKENNA" McCoy ( October 27, 1968-March 14, 2000 Gay Adult actor, suicide due to his christian family's hate)
this is so sad

Re: Kyle McKenna -Read somewhere that his family would not even claim the body after he died. His friends had his body cremated. His ashes were scattered in one of his favourite spots.
Re: Kip Noll - He died in a Salt Lake Mission home which - unless the article I read was wrong - caters for the destitute and/or homeless. Very sad.
I must admit that most of the 80s names mean nothing to me, but I liked a hot tub/interview scene Noll did in one of his movies.

From Answers.com :
"It appears that Kip Noll was actually Thomas Earl Hagen, born in Greenwich, CT, on August 7, 1957. The location and date correspond to information given by Kip Noll in a STALLION magazine ((June 1982) interview. In the same interview Kip stated that he came from a family of ten children and that he had three sisters and six brothers. Hagen's obituary, published in the SALT LAKE TRIBUNE on May 24, 2001, listed nine siblings by name, three sisters and six brothers, two of whom predeceased him. Hagan died of a heart attack at 43 while under the care of he Salt Lake Mission. He had three daughters by a previous marriage."

because that wasn't sad enough. :-[
thanks for the info, i'm glad to know Mr. McKenna at last could count with his friends till the end, i'm sure he's still loved and remembered by them.
Sad to hear Mr. Noll had to spend his last days living in those conditions, but then again, i'm sure at least he was among friendly faces.
sorry, i hate sad stories, everybody deserves to be loved. -
Riddler: thanks for web sites, references and listing. good friend "JAMOO", took his own life by an overdose of diludid(sp)and securing a plastic bag over his head. Boy'sTown(WeHo) is a killer. I told his mother I'd pay for his return to Texas. jb
