Scott Finn, an adult film star, has passed away at the age of 27, following what he described as a challenging year and a tumultuous divorce.
The actor, whose real name was Rhett Messary, was remembered for his extraordinary ability to accept people as they are and was quite popular during his school days, according to an online obituary shared by his family.
The cause of his death hasn’t been revealed. However, Finn had previously hinted at personal struggles in his last social media update.
In a post featuring a shirtless selfie, he reflected, “Life has been tough for the past year and a half since my divorce. But I’m finally single again, it’s been a while. Here I am,” dated June 18th.
Finn entered the adult industry in 2018, creating content for platforms such as Active Duty and Next Door Studios.
He was open about his bisexuality, often replying to negative remarks from detractors. In a comment from 2020, he boldly stated, “LOL, you don’t know who I am. I’m a sex lover. I like men and women.” He mentioned having had sex with only one woman in three years compared to around 100 men.
In recent times, he had begun to distance himself from adult films and started new social media channels to share his passion for cooking.
He died on November 23, and his parents, Joel and Libby Messerly, held a memorial on December 4.
In a heartfelt eulogy, they found solace in the belief that his suffering was over and that he would be at peace.
Finn was known as “Goofball” among his peers at Weber High School in Pleasant View, Utah, and was affectionately referred to as “the muscular handsome boy” by the girls. His obituary noted that he had a special knack for bringing joy and laughter to those around him.
His family shared that he would be remembered for his remarkable ability to help others, especially being there for women in need—digging them out of snow, providing meals, and creating a sense of safety.
They humorously added that Finn was quite the charmer, claiming he had at least 65 girlfriends at one time.
