Don Lemmon, fitness entrepreneur and husband of Asia Carrera, died this weekend when his Jeep flipped over outside Las Vegas. He was 37.Lemmon leaves behind Carrera, 32, their daughter "Catty", 1, and Devin, a boy due to be born in August.
Lemmon was returning to his family's Utah home from a business meeting in Vegas when his car flipped. Carrera noted that a registered nurse in the following vehicle was unable to help Lemmon, though she hopes he died painlessly. "The car was strewn over 300 yards," she wrote.
Lemmon and Carrera wed in December, 2003, after she said a formal goodbye to her fans and left the adult industry.
In addition to fitness marketing, Lemmon was working on a screenplay loosely based on his shot at becoming a rock star with the band White Diamond. "Man, I was inches away," he wrote in his final blog entry.
The couple were in talks to be the subject of a reality show about Carrera's transition out of porn and their life as a couple.
Carrera is left with no life insurance, no car, and no income. Carrera and Lemmon, by all accounts a wonderful couple to know, were parents truly in love with their children ("the daughter who was the light of your life, and the son you never got to meet," Carrera wrote in her tribute).
Carrera was once married to adult director Bud Lee, who remained a friend of the family. Lee is helping Carrera with funeral arrangements. Lemmon is to be cremated.
