James King Obituary

James "Frankie" Franklin King, age 58, died Saturday, February 25, surrounded by his family at Martha Jefferson Hospital in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Frankie was born in Louisa County, Virginia, to Julia King and the late James King.
He is survived by his wife of 35 years, Lisa; children, Caroline Headley, Matthew King and Seth King; grandchildren, Louisa and August Headley; brothers, Richard King and Ike King; sisters, Wanda Bailey and Mariann Rigsby; and many loving in-laws, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
Frankie lived and worked his entire life in Louisa County, Virginia. In 1984, he started his own cabinetmaking business, King Furniture & Cabinet Shop, and worked there until his passing.
