Rhett Douglas Messerly, cherished by many as Scott Finn, has left this world at just 27 years old. His family shared an online obituary celebrating his joyful spirit, highlighting his "kindness, big smile, and silly natured personality." Known for his role as a popular adult film content creator, Messerly touched many lives with his warmth and generosity.
The obituary painted a picture of a young man who, from his school days at Weber High, was known as the "goofball" with "nice muscles." His infectious humor and ability to make others laugh stood out, but his lasting legacy will be his incredible capacity to help those around him.
Born on February 2, 1998, in Ogden, Utah, Messerly lived a life full of adventure and acceptance. Those who knew him remember his playful side – from competing in football and baseball to climbing trees so high that the fire department sometimes had to intervene. His competitive streak extended to card games, where even his siblings could be drawn into intense matches.
In his adult life, Messerly channeled his energy into various interests such as golfing, fishing, camping, cooking, and mending broken things. As Scott Finn, he debuted in the adult film industry in 2018, producing content for sites like Active Duty and Next Door Studios. Despite the public persona, his close ones knew him as 'Doug,' a man with an "immense capacity for accepting people for who they are."
Messerly's life, though short-lived, left a significant impact on those around him. On November 23, his family found solace in the belief that "his pain here is over and he rests with his Heavenly Father again." No specific cause of death has been revealed.
Fans and friends have taken to his memorial page to share touching tributes, recalling a man whose "amazing smile" and comforting hugs "could melt the worries away." His last communication with fans was a heartfelt message on his X account in June, where he acknowledged a "hard life" but continued to spread positivity.
“He will be remembered for his ability to always look out for others and his tremendous heart,” said a family member.
As the adult film community and his loved ones remember Scott Finn, they celebrate a life filled with laughter, compassion, and a love for adventure.
