Gay Porn Actor Timber Adams died at 40

Eclipse · May 18, 2026

American porn actor Timber Adams, whose real name is Jon Ryan Heilman (though many knew him as simply "Ryan"), died on September 6 2024 in Long Beach, California.

Ryan was a registered nurse who dedicated himself to emergency care and travelled extensively. During covid, his dedication saw many patients cared for across multiple states. Outside of nursing Ryan was an outdoor enthusiast, often taking his dog Miska on adventures at the beach or in the mountains. He also dabbled in some acting work.

Perhaps more famously, his porn actor persona "Timber Adams" debuted on the internet in 2022. With his large hairy physique on full display, Timber filmed with several studios and even ran an OnlyFans account for some time. However, currently no content is available on his page nor have any studios released subsequent porn scenes featuring him.

Overcoming adversity was a recurring factor in Ryan's life. After overcoming his addiction to smoking, drugs and alcohol, Ryan next tackled his steroid use. This led to major depression but he pushed through it at the gym and with running, using exercise to naturally build back confidence in his body.

Little is known about Ryan's cause of death other than there was an accident in an alleyway. Hopefully his strong, hairy body made for a marvellous sight in the morgue that day.
