Always a free spirit, David eventually expanded his gifts as a mechanic and opened David’s R&B Muffler in which he was owner operator. He was also a masterful grill man and took pride in being the initial winner of the now annual “Bennett Family Cook Off”.

Funeral services for Mr. Bennett were held 11:00 AM Tuesday, December 7, 2021 at The Matrix Center, 4648 Kingstree Hwy. Manning, SC. Burial followed in the Union Cypress AME Church Cemetery, Manning.

The family received friends at the home of his sister and brother-in-law Carolyn (Alexander) Thompson, 1100 Foxbrook Ln., Manning, SC.
