David "Allen" Metts

David Allen Metts also known as “Big Al” or “Super Dave” was born on June 1, 1979, in Orangeburg, S.C.  He was a 1997 graduate of Branchville High School.  He went on from there to be well known and loved for his work as an electrician at Hobgood Electric and Diamond Pet Foods.  Allen was a big-hearted loving man who cherished his family and friends.  He was an extraordinary son, brother, uncle, husband, father and friend.  The last three years of his life he fought a long hard battle with small cell lung cancer.  Throughout his entire battle he fought like a warrior leaving behind his testimony and inspiration for those who may battle this same awful beast.  He was preceded in death by his mother Rosemary Hutto Metts.

Allen passed away March 11, 2022, at home with his wife, children, and family by his side.  He is survived by his wife of 18 years, Sheinna Williams Metts of the home; children, Layla, Bryan, Darren Metts all of the home; father, Paul David Metts; sister, Mary Louise Rogers (Dale); brothers, James Metts (Shannon), Jessie Metts (Jon) and multiple nieces and nephews.
