Christopher King Obituary
December 6, 1970 - July 1, 2020
Macon, Georgia- Christopher "Chris" Robert King, 49, of Macon, passed away suddenly on Wednesday, July 1, 2020. Funeral Services to honor his life will be held on Monday, July 6, at 11:00 am in the Family Life Center at Lizella Baptist Church. The family will greet friends one hour prior to the service. Immediately following the service, Chris will be laid to rest in the Lizella Baptist Church Cemetery. Reverend Chris Minton and Reverend Jason Blankenship will officiate.
Chris was born on December 6, 1970 in Waukegan, Illinois, to Hoyt William King and Betty Chastain King. He was employed at Robins Air Force Base as a VPP Safety Manager and attended Lizella Baptist Church. Chris served as president of the Central Georgia Bass Club for 20 years. He also served as assistant youth director of the Georgia Bass Federation, a role that was very important to him. In his free time, Chris enjoyed fishing, Georgia Bulldog football and listening to 80's music. He had a personality that could light up a room, he kept everyone laughing, and never met a stranger. Chris was always willing to lend a helping hand. His greatest joy in life came from his family, especially spending time with his grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his father, Hoyt William King.

I am so sad to learn of Chris´s passing. He and his brother Tim were my best friends during a very difficult time in my life.
My dad was a governmental electrical engineer and was transferred to Macon´s base in 1985. I had just graduated 8th grade, and it was difficult to say the least to be uprooted from all of my friends here in the suburbs of Philadelphia.
Chris was my age and we moved to the same neighborhood where his awesome family lived. We instantly hit it off and became close friends, which was exactly what a kid, with a strange Philly accent, in a strange place with no friends needed. We spent a lot of time together and laughed a LOT.
My whole family was homesick, so we ended up moving back to PA just about 2 years later. I think we exchanged mailed letters for a bit but then lost touch.
Chris was just a great guy all around, and it broke my heart to find this page. I had been longing to reconnect with him on social media but could never locate him. Tonight I decided to try an internet search, which is how I ended up here.
My deepest condolences to his entire family. I do take comfort in seeing that he lived life to the fullest.
Rest i peace old friend.
