D. David Allman

D. David Allman, 86, Camby, passed away peacefully at home January 3, 2025. David was born in Morgan County on July 11, 1938, to the late James Eugene and Frances Rosaline (Wilber) Allman. David was united in marriage to Sharon (Hord) Allman on July 11, 1964, and she survives. 

He graduated from Monrovia High School in 1957 and proudly served in the United States Navy. He was employed as a machinist at Chevrolet for ten years. His mechanical talents were utilized through a 42-year career as a lead mechanic at the Indianapolis International Airport, retiring in 2013.  Exceptionally gifted with a mind that could fix or build anything, he was also a talented woodworker.  He made the Easter cross in 2008 for the Mooresville First Baptist Church. David was a member of Mooresville Masonic Lodge #78 and the Order of the Eastern Star #260, having served as past patron five times. An avid outdoorsman, David especially enjoyed boating and camping. One of his favorite pastimes was sitting in his favorite chair on his front porch. He was also an avid bicyclist.  He and Sharon rode the Hilly Hundred in Brown County for many years.  

It is nearly impossible to think of David Allman without thinking of Bassett Hounds. He raised them for 25 years; one year two Bassetts gave birth at the same time resulting in 14 pups. His current dog, Peanut, has been a constant and loyal companion through the years. David will be fondly remembered by a loving family and many friends. 

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, Robert Allman. 

 Survivors include his wife of 60 years, Sharon; son, Toney Allman; bonus son, Chris (Monica) Runion ; siblings, Tommy (Jane) Allman, Bill Allman, Virginia (the late Jack) Perry, and Susan Harris; one grandchild, Cierra Rose Adair.
