Larry D. Mettert, Sr.

Larry D. Mettert Sr., 81, originally of Fort Wayne, Indiana, and a resident of Middletown, Maryland since 1981, passed away peacefully on Sunday, April 5.

Larry was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He is survived by his beloved wife of 64 years, Martha J. Mettert. He leaves behind his loving children: Larry D. Mettert Jr. of Martinsburg; Jennie L. Mettert-Young and her husband Ken of Middletown; and James E. Mettert and Nancy Mettert of Inwood. He was a proud grandfather to Ericka Mettert, Christopher Mettert-Young, Brittany Pakula, Brandi Carmichael, Allison (Ally) Young, Nicole Mettert, and Cora Mettert, and a cherished great-grandfather to five great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his son, Robert P. Mettert, who passed away in November 2023.

Larry dedicated his life to service, retiring after distinguished careers with the United States Army, the State of Maryland, and the federal government. After retirement, he enjoyed fishing, tinkering in his garage, woodworking, and tracing his family roots—passions that reflected his curiosity, craftsmanship, and love of family history.
