Industry Veteran Kenny Brandon Passes Away

LOS ANGELES—Veteran adult industry videographer Kenny Brandon passed away Wednesday. He was 38.  Brandon had been regular content shooter and photographer for more than 10 years working for various companies, including ATK and Combat Zone. The native of Chino Hills, Calif., is survived by two daughters, ages 6 and 5. Brandon’s family has not released any details about his passing, but his sister Sommer told AVN, “He was loved by his family very much. He loved his girls very much. He was a great dad and brother and we will miss him greatly. We have lots of wonderful, fun memories. We love you Kenny. You’re in our hearts forever.” John Kelsey, co-owner of Metro Talent who became friends with Brandon more than two years ago, set up a GoFundMe page to help with funeral expenses and support Brandon’s family. “He was a hell of a nice dude,” Kelsey said. “He made everything for those two daughters of his. He had a heart of gold.” Brandon made his directorial debut in 2006, shooting Virgins of the Screen for Combat Zone. He also had directed for his ex-wife’s Alicia Silver Productions, which produced content for companies such as Combat Zone, Homegrown Video and others. In addition, Brandon worked with Silver’s former agency Silver Star Models in the mid-2000s. His photography website was KennyOgraphy.com. Several adult industry members are remembering Brandon in social media posts. OC Modeling called Brandon a “loving father” on its Twitter feed, asking the industry to support the GoFundMe page. “The ATMLA family sends prayers and condolences to Kenny's children who will be missing a very good father,” the ATMLA agency wrote on Twitter.  “RIP @KennyBrandon you had a loving and fun soul and people will forever remember that,” performer Sophia Grace tweeted.    Performer Scott Lyons called Brandon “an amazing guy” who he’d been friends with for his entire career.
