Adult film star Rhett Douglas Messerly, known by his fans as Scott Finn, has died at the age of 27.<\/p>\n

Messerly\u2019s death was announced by his family, who released an obituary<\/a> on an online memorial site. <\/p>\n

The heartfelt obituary explains that Messerly passed away on November 23, 2025, and although no cause of death is listed, it also includes photos of the adult entertainer at the beach.<\/p>\n

The Messerly family wrote that as a teenager, he was known as \u201cthe \u2018goofball\u2019 to his peers, the \u2018handsome boy with nice muscles\u2019 to all the girls.\u201d<\/p>\n

Messerly, who went by his middle name Doug with those close to him, was a skilled chef and loved \u201cdisk golf, fishing, camping, hiking, or anything to do with being outside,\u201d the obituary reads. <\/p>\n

The family also highlighted his desire to help people in need. \u201cMost importantly, he will be remembered for his incredible capacity to help others,\u201d it reads.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose whose lives he touched will forever remember his kindness, big smile, and silly natured personality,\u201d the Messerly family wrote. \u201cWe find some comfort in knowing his pain here is over and he rests with his Heavenly Father again.\u201d<\/p>\n

To the public, Messerly is best known for his gay adult film content that he made for websites like Active Duty and Next Door Studios. <\/p>\n

The last time he posted on his X account was back in June, where he shared a selfie and admitted that his divorce had made the last year a \u201chard life,\u201d Pink News<\/a> reports. Since then, he has posted to new social media accounts that he wanted to focus on his chef skills.<\/p>\n
