John Allen Bryant, 62, husband of Susan Marie Helton Bryant for 35 years, went to be with the Lord on Saturday, August 23, 2025.

Mr. Bryant was born in Fountain Inn to the late Billy Ray Bryant and Wilma Irene Lawson Bryant.  His career with Stainless Fittings Group expanded over 35 years of service.  Allen was a hard worker that was blessed with a kind spirit.  Helping others came naturally to him.  Allen was a gifted athlete in his youth and stood out in many sports during his high school years.  He was a huge USC Gamecock fan.  He enjoyed travel - particularly trips to the mountains and the lake – and collected magnets and bumper stickers from the locales he visited.  He loved being Papa to his grandkids, but without question, Susan was his everything.  He loved and cherished her throughout their time together.

Surviving, in addition to his wife, are a son, Jeff Key, Jr.; a daughter, Tiffany Kinne; a brother, Edward Bryant with wife Annette; a sister, Jane Coleman with husband Allen; a sister-in-law, Wanda Bryant; five grandchildren, Hunter Key with fiancé Taylor, Jeffery Key III, Makenzie Kinne with fiancé Ethan, Makaylie Kinne, and Zac Key; and a great-granddaughter, Briar Key.  He was predeceased by a brother, Steve Bryant; and his beloved Pomchi “Autumn”.

A celebration of Allen’s life will begin at 2 o’clock Friday in the chapel of Fletcher Funeral Service.  The family will receive friends for one hour prior to the service.  Burial will be in Graceland East Memorial Park.

Memorials in Allen’s honor may be made to Shriners Hospital for Children, 950 W. Faris Road, Greenville, SC 29605.
