This truly saddened me to hear about this. King will always be remembered by our family. We all just adored him, he always made us laugh. King worked with my husband and he always talked very highly of King. He had and always will have such a kind soul. I ask that God may comfort his family and in this difficult time.

King was my best friend. Even when things were at there worst (like on midnights) he was there to hear my problems and I his. I will miss his calls "hey bobcat". I will miss not walking in to work with him anymore He was more like a brother than a friend. I used to joke with him that he would never retire.
But God must have a better plan for him. I know he will be put to great use in Heaven.
