\"Cole<\/p>\n

I found this sad news on GayDemon forum. The vice president of TitanMen broke the news that Cole Tucker passed away Sunday, June 7 in Palm Springs from AIDs related illness. <\/p>\n

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, June 13 at 11:00 a.m. at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church, 1020 East Ramon Road in Palm Springs. The family invites Rick’s friends and colleagues to join us.<\/p>\n

The family has requested that in lieu of flowers, contributions be made to Desert AIDs Project in Palm Springs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rick was one of the most iconic and beloved gay porn-stars of my generation. He won Gay Performer of the Year in 1998 from both GayVN and Grabby’s. He was a legendary pornstar, emphasis on star, that was one-of-a-kind….they don’t make them like him anymore.<\/p>\n

Cole Tucker was a character that he created to entertain the world. Rick Karp was the sweet, funny, smart, generous and hardworking man I knew. Rick was not only an amazing performer, he was also a personal friend and our realtor in Palm Springs for the past 7 years.<\/p>\n

You were a great friend and will be truly missed….<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
