John is survived by his mother, N. Beulah King, of Sebastian, Florida; his wife of forty-five years, Janice Bash King, of Sebastian, Florida; and their children, Jaime Tyler (Nate), of Chesapeake, Virginia, and John King (Aida), of Sebastian, Florida.

John was born on October 13, 1951, in Spangler, Pennsylvania. John graduated from Harmony High School in 1969. John served in the Marine Corps before embarking on his entrepreneurial career. He founded several successful businesses, including ReMax Crown Realty, demonstrating the power of hard work, dedication, and perseverance. He was a member and Past Master of Sebastian Masonic Lodge Number 232.
John was an avid outdoorsman. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, and traveling. He had a big heart, a big personality, and a big smile. He had a great sense of humor and lit up every room he entered. John hated political correctness (but loved a good debate), lawyers (yet ended up with three in the immediate family), instant mashed potatoes (no exceptions), and long pants. John was an active and dedicated member of the community, supporting numerous causes and helping those in need. John was well loved and well respected. He worked hard, played hard, and took care of those he loved. He was truly a King.

Dear Brother there isn't a day in the past two years that you haven't crossed my mind. I know you are with Mom and Dad having a great time but you were taken from us to soon. Your kindness and caring for others never went unnoticed and your family and friends miss you. You are a King among men. Love always your sister.

I knew John as a positive influence in the Sebastian community. As a Marine, he always displayed a trustworthy honorable presence and lived the virtue of Semper Fidelis. His legacy will carry on.
