Mr. Mark Allen King, of Tiptonville, passed away Sunday March 8, 2026 at his home. He was born September 26, 1963 in Livonia Michigan to the late Jim and Jonnie Sue King.

Mark was proud to work as an over-the-road truck driver for Tyson Foods. He was a talented artist, always sketching and coloring things of interest to him. He was a Harley-Davidson Motorcycle enthusiast at heart. He enjoyed spending time with his family, friends and his dog, Boss. He is remembered as a jack-of-all trades, able to fix most anything. Long drives in his classic yellow Pontiac Grand Prix brought him much joy.
