James King Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
James is survived by his loving wife of 31 years, Tammy King; his children Phillip and Michelle King, Amy Eaton, and Michael Miller; his siblings Mildred and Ray Hodges, Marjorie Martin, and Wade "Buddy" and Shirley King; seven grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, James Henery King and Vela S. King; his sisters, Peggy Baldwin and Dorothy King; and brother-in-law, B.V. Martin.
James worked as a high-frequency technician, but he was truly a jack of all trades. Whether it was your car, your A/C, an electrical issue-or even if you just needed directions before the days of GPS and MapQuest-James was the one to call.
He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
A Celebration of Life service will be held at 2 pm on July 26, 2025 at 535 Lakeshore Drive in Trinity Texas.
