Wilfried Knight Passes Away
We need to first say that this is one of the last things we’d ever want to write. It is impossible to send this without the heavy heart of our company weighing it down. Many of us had personal relationships with Wilfried Knight and as a whole this is one of the saddest days in our office.
News came in to Lucas Entertainment on Monday morning that Wilfried had taken his own life. Yesterday we frantically scrambled to prove this wrong and sadly came up with confirmation that the worst was true.
Wilfried Knight was a very special person, a genuine, caring, smart and grounded individual whose personality even out-shined his incredible outward beauty. In the wake of this news we have to step back and look at the awful losses the industry has experienced this year. Wilfried’s passing had nothing to do with the industry but the outpouring sadness we have seen urges us to address others in need.
We all would like to consider ourselves strong people but there will always be certain things that tear us down. We have to think about what awfulness brought Wilfried to this point and fight against it. Life is guaranteed to devastate us at some point but we can’t and shouldn’t cause others who care about us to go through such pain. The domino effect has to end and although we are far from perfect we open our ears and hearts to whoever needs to talk.
Wilfried we love you dearly and hope you are slumbering in peace with your husband.
This is truly sad, especially if Wilfried Knight chose to take his life so young. Was it linked to despair, sadness or illness? Who knows. One of the most terrifying moments in life is being alone in the dark, without an answer to one’s questioning. The only remaining solution seems to depart to the other side of the rainbow. May he rest in peace.
Thank you for posting such a moving tribute. I hope that people will see this and reach out if they are troubled. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
what?! This is incredible! Seems al stars of porn are dying! What did this beauty die of?, & in the prime of his life, 30 of age at its most!
Oh, no! First, Arpad Miklos, now, Wilfried Knight. I get so deeply sad when I discover my porn stars are gone.
shocked and saddened. truly shocked to learn this. a beautiful man is no longer with us, the world is a less beautiful place. RIP W.
I love you, Knight.
You should have got something better.
I feel like my heart is freezing in ice.

My dear friends. I am new on board. For the last two weeks I have been thoroughly enjoying Wilfried’s physical beauty–so handsome, so masculine–and the sweet personality of a man that he embodied. Just today I read the blogs about his passing, his suicide. How very sad and sickened I am tonight–although I fully understand the inclination to do the same.
So as a gay man who is far less beautiful, far less masculine, far less endearing, who also has been suicidal several times throughout his life, I wonder, Why him instead of me. Had I known, Had I been able,had I been in relationship with him, I would have gladly taken his place so that others might continue to be inspired, informed, and enlivened by his strength, his talent, his worth. Love to you all you who also are grief stricken by this loss, Daniel
