  1. I was so in love with this guy. I had the giant poster on my closet door, yes my closet door. The one I blew out of in short order. His death was a real tragedy to me. Check out his gorgeous eyes and flawless bone structure. Sigh……

  2. He was also in “The Making of A Male Model” and he played Phineas Bogg in a TV show called Voyagers…I was so jealous of the kid who co-starred with him. I didn’t understand until after he died that I was interested in him as a different kind of “daddy.”
    How could I have forgotten how handsome he was? This is one memory that’s a little bittersweet.

  3. I still have the last issue that had just come out about his new hit…and while working in Toronto..I heard he was dead that very week…I thought dam he had it made, and now he’s gone…I was sad for 3 weeks. He was Handsome, and a Really Nice guy.

  4. I remember him well…such a promising career. Who knows where it would have gone. After he died the thing I remember the most was all the tributes that said what a nice person he was. So sad.

  5. Such a gorgeous Norwegian Hunk…yes I remember him well. In fact I was googling for some of his photos last week. Thanks for posting these great shots. What was his sexuality?

  6. Holy shit! He’s so handsome.. So heartbreaking to know he’s no more. Loved the pics 🙂

  7. Thanks for the memories. He was one of my favourite fantasies when I was a teen “boy” just aching for some “man” to love me. In reply to some of the posts, yes that is Joan Collins in the pic and I don’t recall reading or hearing anything to suggest he was gay. Dam, what a waste.

  8. FUCK!!! Do I remember him!!!??! I used to drool every week @ the start of his show..when he walked out of the water in that skimpy bathing suit…He was totally gorgeous…those lips…those eyes!!! Geeeezus….

  9. I had the honor and privilege of knowing Jon Erik, as we had mutual friends. He was all of the wonderful things everyone says about him — handsome, friendly, intelligent, funny, loyal, confident, sensitive, genuine, more than a little macho (hey, it was the ’80s) — everything you could ever want or need in a man and more. His death was such a needless, senseless tragedy. He was so much more than a “male model” or “vintage beefcake.” He was a devil and gentleman, a gorgeous man in every respect – inside and out. He will always be how I define the epitome of what a “real man” is. It was wonderful seeing these pictures again (His favorite? The one of him standing in front of the tree in the dark golf shirt.) I haven’t had the courage to look at photos of him since he died. Way too painful then. I’d forgotten how truly amazing he looked — and how his appearance was just a tiny fraction of who he was as a man. Made me cry. God, I miss him. Such a loss. Please don’t ever forget him. I know I won’t.
