Cocksure Men: Nick (Remembered?)
UPDATED: March 9, 2009
Okay, we were briefly duped! We thought Nick looked strangely familiar, and we should have picked up on the fact that his photos didn't quite fit the usual style of Cocksure Men's site. And then you guys reminded us of the sad truth—Nick tragically died a few years ago. While we're all for remembering and honoring a past performer. (There's no doubt, Nick was a handsome chap.) We're absolutely cringing at him appearing on a website he knew nothing about—and worse, yet with no mention that honors his life, his contributions to gay porn or even a statement that sales from Nick's "feature" will go toward stopping and preventing gay-related suicides or other important cause in our community. Next, please.

I thought this guy died a few years ago?
new model? isn't this model dead?
It seems a little morbid to me that Jake and his crew dug this up. "Nick" died a few years ago, as I'm sure some of you will recall.
So is Nick still making porn kinda like Tupac keeps releasing albums every year?
How tasteless can they be....to bring a dead guy for an update on this website
Very bad idea from Jake and decided to milk this ghost for all it's worth.
Papa needs a new BMW i guess
Ok, this is straight up demented & creepy. This guy's been dead for two years.
damn that s sad / if he really is dead . how did he die ? guess its true what they say , the good die young .
this guy and another model died in Canada a few years ago. What gives? This is in very bad taste! Queer Click needs to address this and take this down, very disrespectful....
Ummm I think that's Dakota from Sean Cody with a different hair style. He's got the same scar to the right of his navel.
Thoughts?
Oh you guys are right. I thought it was Dakota from Sean Cody after a trip to the gym.
Ok, so he buffed up or died? Would you make up your mind, please?!
really? he died of what? are you guys serious?
Indeed. He and his buddy were found dead in some place in Canada two years ago, I guess.
are u guys sure he is dead?
The guy DIED for christsake. Why are his nude pictures still on display?
It's creepy and borderline tasteless to be putting up a video of someone who died several years ago. Has Jake got so little new material that he has to post videos of dead guys?
He died here in Montreal where I live. Let's not forget that he died because he was trying to skip out on paying for a cab and jumped a fence and fell into a quarry. Not sure that warrant honoring.
Oh my.... I remember I use to love his guy... I never knew he died, what happened?
Thank you QueerClick editors. You guys are the best. I could not have said it better myself. No site even comes close to you boys :-) (and gals?)
I didn't know Nick suicided. That's so tragic. I only "discovered" his porn a year or two ago and really enjoyed him.
Be careful here! Nick wasn't gay and he didn't kill himself. To suggest that the proceeds go to gay-related suicides is foolish and may do more harm than good. Is it in bad taste? Yes. Is it legal and within Jake's rights to put him on the site? Probably.
I remember the story of how he died - as I recall he and a buddy were working Montreal and stiffed a cabbie and took off running and hopped a fence that had a big drop on the other side into a rock quarry. Both fell to their deaths. Sad, but true.
MAY he REST N PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(
It's disgusting how Jake Cruise and Next Door Studios keep promoting their sites with images of this guy who tragically died. They have NO class in my book, or they would remove his videos and pictures from their websites!!
Died? How did he die? When?
How did he die?
how did he die
I wish Jake Cruise will do the honorable thing and let a dead man rest in peace.
"Nick" (Mark Kraynak) didn't commit suicide - he was killed along with his fellow porn model Steve Wright when they fell into a quarry in Montreal under somewhat mysterious circumstances, as I recall.
The official investigation determined that Mark Kraynak and Steve Wright died after ditching a cab (because they didn't want/or have the fare) and accidentally fell into a rock quarry. Mark's mom contends this isn't true and there was blackmail and foul play involved. Other contend that it was a suicide, due to books and writings left in these porn actor's residences. Perhaps no one will ever no the truth, regardless it remains tragic that they died.
really really creepy
An important part of the official story was left out of the comments above. Nick and another stripper's bodies were found in a rock quarry after being missing for several days. The Montreal Police said that Nick and the other guy skipped out on a cab fare. Then the guys climbed over a fence. The fence had a sign on it warning about the quarry. Either the guys didn't see the sign in the dark at 3 am, or they couldn't read the sign which was in French. Montreal is in French-speaking Quebec. The police concluded the 2 deaths were tragic accidents.
How the fuck is this going to stop or prevent gay related suicide? Way to try and cover YOUR bad QC.
