Beloved industry photographer Julius F. Kedvessy (JFK) has passed away, according to a message shared by his family on Facebook.

It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing of Julius F Kedvessy on Sept 30, 2021. Husband, father, and all-around stubborn asshole, his personality was larger than life and nothing could slow him down. Julius was forever on the run with various projects and businesses to occupy his time, constantly filled with new ideas of what new adventure he could partake in.

He was forever quietly doing things to help others without ever wanting any credit for himself. Even if he was incredibly opinionated he was always his most authentic self.
There is so much more and not enough words to describe the man that Julius was.

He is survived by his wife of over 46 years Sandra Kane and his three children Alex Kedvessy, Diana Cerovich, and Nicole Kedvessy as well as their partners. He will also be greatly missed by his brother Laszlo, his sister Eniko and his grandchildren, nieces, and nephews as well as so many friends and family all over the world.

He is leaving every single one of us telling him to “Fuck off” one last time.

JFK as he was known in the industry, was truly a legend that was the mastermind behind FUBAR Webmasters. F.U.B.A.R. is an acronym for Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition, which was “The Adult Webmaster Resource Site” for party, conference, convention, and event pictures.

JFK was a fixture at industry tradeshows and red carpets for years. He was what the industry knew as our very own paparazzi. He had been covering adult industry events as far back as 1999.

He was well known and loved by many in the adult industry.
