Daniel Williams, the former drummer of the metal band The Devil Wears Prada, was tragically killed in a plane crash in San Diego, and his fiancée has shared a touching tribute in his memory.
Hannah Ray posted on Instagram following the heartbreaking news that six individuals, including Williams and talent agent Dave Shapiro, lost their lives when a private Cessna aircraft crashed around 4 am PST on Thursday.
“My entire world is in shambles. The hole you’ve left in all of our lives and hearts can not be measured,” she wrote.
“One thing is beyond clear – How loved you are and how much you loved others, showed up and gave so much to everyone in your life.
“I can’t wrap my head around never getting to see you or touch you again.
“My heart has never felt this level of pain and I truly don’t know how to carry on without you.
“You are my best friend, partner, fiancé, my biggest fan in every way, the most supportive and positive soul I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing and truly showed me the kind of love people might only ever experience once in a lifetime, if at all,” she wrote in her moving tribute.
She revealed that Williams tragically died on their 14th anniversary.
The heartbroken fiancée added that the pair met on May 22, 2011 and that exactly 14 years later “on May 22nd 2025, you left us way too soon”.
“I love you and miss you with every fiber of my being and will do my best to be the best I can for you every day still,” she added.
“I love you I love you I love you I love you.”
