David Curtis King

David Curtis King, 58, of Stephens City, VA, passed away Friday, January 9, 2026, at Winchester Medical Center.

David was born March 23, 1967, in Downers Grove, IL, son of the late George Curtis King Sr. and Maryln Sue (Greer) King.

He was a graduate of Park View High School in Sterling, VA and attended Abundant Life Church in Stephens City. Since 201,9 David was a Lead Inspector for Patriot Fire and Security, prior to that he was an Assistant Manager at Food Lion for 19 years. When he was younger David loved playing tennis and always had a passion for Civil War history and visiting historical sites. He enjoyed golfing with his family and friends, especially each year in Caledonia for Father's Day weekend, playing softball alongside his son, coworkers, and friends, watching NASCAR, and rooting for his draft picks, and was an avid Miami Dolphins and North Carolina Tarheels fan, which he enjoyed talking about and watching with his grandson. David loved going to the beach with his family, especially Holden Beach in North Carolina. Lifelong memories were made while sitting on the beach deck beside his wife and family, playing silly games, eating chocolate ice cream, and enjoying the sunset while drinking a nice cold Pepsi. David loved game nights with his family, spontaneous day trips with his wife, golfing alongside his brothers and son, and playing poker with longtime friends. He tried never to miss his grandson's basketball and football games where he would put on his referee hat and discuss "questionable" calls with his son.

He married Andrea Dowdy on April 21, 1990, in Sterling, VA.
