Any truth to report Bryan Knight passed away?

[Todd Jenkins]

Yes, on his facebook page his hubby posted.

His rentmen ad was just logged onto yesterday too! What did the facebook post say @Todd Jenkins? Could you copy and paste it?

EDIT: I mis-read @BuffaloKyle's request and thought it was a request for a link to Bryan Knight's Facebook page, hence the note below. Here's the text of the announcement:

Dear friends, 
This is Bryan's husband.  It is with a heavy heart to let you know that Bryan Knight died last night in his sleep.   He was 39 years old. 
He will be missed more than I can ever say.

 

Moderator's Note:

We ask members to refrain from posting links to social media accounts that are not included in a provider's public ads/profiles as they could reveal personal information about the "real" person behind the escort persona. Although Bryan Knight did not share his facebook links on his RM ad, he did have an escorting website, which has links to his social media. You can find them here.

On a personal note, I never met Bryan, but we exchanged messages and he seemed like a perfect gentleman and all-around nice guy. I'm very sad to hear this and am keeping his husband and family in my thoughts.

[BuffaloKyle]

I hope his husband has his rentmen and social media passwords so he or a friend can deactivate all his accounts. He was on the road in Rhode Island as well according to his rentmen ad. So sad. I'm trying to not be insensitive with this comment but the thought crossed my mind. I really hope he wasn't doing an overnight session with a client. Just be such a mess for so many more people. I couldn't even imagine that situation.

[BuffaloKyle]

I see he was a member on here as well awhile back. @BryanKnight. I'll have to go through and read all his posts in remembrance. Can we have a moderator put an RIP under his name please.

[mike carey]

I'm so sorry to hear this. I had a couple of friendly exchanges with him on Twitter and would have loved to have met him. Requiescat in pace.

Bryan was one of the sweetest men with whom I’ve ever had the privilege of spending quality time…and time spent with this wonderful man shall always remain a treasured memory to me. I will certainly miss him AND his daily shared thoughts and pictures.

Wow... it is such a surprise when someone so active and alive passes so young. Bryan was a guy with many outside interests. What a shame.

I don't consider that insensitive as it is a thought that has crossed my mind from time to time. Except in thinking it I put myself in the position of the one dying unexpectedly since I am at that age where statistically anything is more likely to happen. 

Since I do many overnights maybe I should put a note in the room in plain sight that if God forbid, I pass away in his arms, just give me a kiss and quietly slip out of the room. 

The thing is I wouldn't want him to see it in advance since I wouldn't want him to treat me like delicate china. I like my sex robust!

I want to end this by saying how sorry I am to see where Bryan has passes away at such a young age. I often thought if we were ever in the same neck of the woods I would give him a call. What a tragedy for his husband.

I had several massages with him when he had a flat on Park Avenue....delightful man, sweet, kind, approachable, great masseur.  I am sorry of the loss of his family and husband.

This is so sad. I've seen Bryan a number of times over a number of years in NYC. He was always sweet and generous, both as a provider and as a person. He traveled often, which meant he was off somewhere when I was looking to hire, but I was always glad when our schedules meshed. He was passionate about the comic books he authored. I'm not sure they ever got the traction he hoped for, but he pursued a few editions to publication. Among the many lives he touched and enriched, I believe he was close to his bio-family in NYC. I'm sure his sudden exit at such a young age has broken many hearts.  RIP, sweet man.

[DWnyc]

RIP

I ran into him socially once (knew nothing about him at the time) where he told me about his comic books and about his work in the hobby to finance that. He had some strong (and important) opinions on the political aspects, protection for providers etc - clearly someone with a strong and empathetic social conscience.

Just a few months ago I saw him on the subway at Grand Central. Hard to miss him given his physique but also his smile, towering above the commuter crowds. He was wearing a t-shirt saying “legalize sex work”. I was in two minds as to whether to waive and say hi as I thought he wouldn’t remember me and I was exhausted and feeling unsociable.  He spotted me, however, and walked over and gave me a hug on a crowded train - asked how I was and said we should grab lunch, that he was traveling and he would be in touch when back in town. 

I remember feeling the warmth of his personality both times I met him. Condolences to everyone in his life.

Sadly, during daytime before the night he died, we were messaging in a very friendly way about getting together, and he was so welcoming. Be at peace dear wonderful man. Feel sad about losing potential man to share with about life and love,

[spaceboy9]

I’m so saddened by this news. I saw Bryan for a massage and muscle worship two months ago and he was so kind to me. He helped me to experience something that I’ve literally thought about every single day since and was looking forward to seeing him again soon. Rest in peace gentle giant with a kind soul.

I never had the pleasure of meeting him but I have had wonderful meetings with confident, kind, well adjusted, comfortable in their own skin providers. Always a treasured memory.

😕 Makes me so sad.... I remember him well from World Gym in Palm Springs....  I wish his husband and family all the strength and comfort in the world 🌎

Do we know if the family needs help with any arrangements etc? Or have they suggested donations to any causes that may have been important to him?

His husband (who goes by the name Snake) has been active on social media (FB, Twitter) on Bryan's accounts.  He doesn't have accounts of his own, knows little about social media and I believe is generally not known among Bryan's wide-ranging contacts.  He's understandably stunned and just trying to get his bearings.  Offers of help, suggestions of memorials, directed giving, etc., have been made online, but I think it will be a while before he can sort it out.  He's trying.

Apparently, Bryan Knight's partner posted this on FB (it's eye opening to say the least and I'm glad he's doing this to raise awareness):

Hello guys.

I need to make this post and it is very, very important. It is a PSA in essence so please, ESPECIALLY, if you're a man, read this. It might seem a bit long but it is VERY IMPORTANT.

--------------------

Some preliminary results from Bryan's autopsy are in. Even though we both go to the doctor at least 4 times a year for a full test, plus more if we have any concerns, it looks like Bryan died of a heart attack in the middle of the night. Upon inspection he had blocked arteries and an enlarged heart, of which on the latter I've just been told is common on big and tall men.

He just had a blood test workout come back on August 19 and the results were CLEAR. The doctor was actually "very happy" with his results yet, here we are. Bryan is DEAD.

Bryan's family has a history of heart problems; I just found out that his grandfather died of a heart attack and his father has had 4 heart surgeries with 6 implanted stints with the most recent procedure just this past March. The father wasn't feeling well so went to the doctor where they preformed a stress test and the results were CLEAR. He still wasn't feeling well, went to a different specialist, so they went in... and found the new blockage.

So the most common tests to find blocked arteries, or possibly other common heart conditions, DON'T WORK. His father, a man of great experience with this, with now 6 procedures under his belt, said and I quote, "The tests are USELESS".

IF YOU ARE HIGH RISK, ESPECIALLY WITH A FAMILY HISTORY LIKE THE MALES OF YOUR FAMILY HAVING HEART DISEASE, YOU MUST NOT ASSUME THAT THEY'LL FIND SOMETHING BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.

You MUST be your own advocate and have your doctor look beyond the common markers if you suspect ANYTHING, like your weight or diet or height or especially anything that happens in your family, and PRESS FOR A CLOSER EXAM OF POSSIBLE PROBLEMS. The common test methodology is FLAWED and this must be assumed to be why so many people still are taken by heart attacks even through our belief in the condition of modem medical science - the tests are actually INCONCLUSIVE rather than accurate for a lot of the situations out there.

If you suspect ANYTHING, get tested NOW. If it can take a young and seemingly overall healthy 39-year old, it can take YOU. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't wait if you suspect anything or ESPECIALLY if you have high risk factors - go talk to a doctor and tell them what happened here. I can't abide by Bryan's loss being in vain if I can save even one single person.

Edit: AND this is not the end of this story. There are even MORE details of why this might have happened but I shouldn't talk about it yet until I get final details. It might have been a game changer - he might, possibly, have died for NOTHING. Stay tuned, it is VERY important as well.

 

For all medical professionals out there, if a blood test cannot detect if you have blocked arteries, what would a person do to check? An MRI or EKG test? Or something else?

[handiacefailure]

I just found out he died because a mutual facebook friend of ours who knows him posted it (only met him one time when he was a guest at my friends party).

 

Really weird thing is though he is showing up as last being online today on Rentmen, so someone has access to his account.   Why wouldn't they just delete it?

I can't speak for his husband, but I suspect he's monitoring business accounts Bryan maintained simply to communicate the sad news as broadly as possible.  Bryan might have used the RMs (Men and Massage) as well as other accounts to communicate with clients.

Good point  He should have froze the account but maybe he didn't know how.   I see his ad is down anyway.
