The Story

I didn’t know Daniel, except to straighten his tie, ask him to look up at Adriane, etc. during a shoot in February. They were frequent models for the Tampa Bay Strobists and it was my first shoot.
This was so shocking and sad. I saw the posts when she was looking for him. No one could believe it was him.
Every time I think about it I start to cry. I can’t imagine how she and their families are coping.

The following article is from the Tampa Bay Times.


”TAMPA — Adriane Falcon knew something was wrong.

The last she knew, her fiance Dan Allmond was headed to her parents’ house in Spring Hill. But he never arrived, and he stopped answering calls and texts.

That was Oct. 2. As days passed, a dreadful realization began to dawn on Allmond’s friends and family.

About the time he went missing, news broke of a horrific crash in Tampa. A semitrailer truck had plunged off the Interstate 75 overpass, and the truck’s cab landed on a sedan heading east on Fowler Avenue. The wreckage caught fire, burning the car beyond recognition.

By Oct. 5, Allmond’s family and Falcon knew what the Florida Highway Patrol would confirm to the public days later: Allmond, 31, was driving his Nissan Sentra when it was crushed and caught fire. He died at the scene.

The sudden loss is compounded by the freak randomness of the crash. Car accidents are a grim fact of life, but this one felt especially cruel.

"I try not to think about it," Falcon, 30, said through tears. "It just makes it harder."

Friends say the crash claimed a man in the prime of his life, a budding actor with big dreams and plans to start a family. Allmond’s death leaves a void at the Carrollwood Players Theatre, where he performed and helped with production.

"Dan was more than a just an actor," said Victoria Richards, president of the theater board. "He was part of the Carrollwood Players family, the familiar face, the person that everyone got to know."

One of two siblings, Allmond was born and raised in Inverness and graduated from Citrus High School. He was working as a salesman and service rep at First Place Fitness Equipment in Tampa, but he wanted to make acting a career, Falcon said. He dreamed of landing on a sitcom.

They met on Tinder about three years ago. He was tall and leading-man handsome, but he made her laugh and they shared a passion for acting. She was already acting with the Carrollwood Players at the time. Soon, they were working on productions together there.
