Nicholas Ryan King, 35, of Charlotte, NC, died unexpectedly at his home on Ferbuary 3, 2025.
Nick was born in Charlotte on February 7, 1989, the son of Dale "Chipper" King and Katherine Tavenner Whitley. He attended Independence and Butler High Schools. Nick had a passion for cooking and food, and he was a chef at Outback Steakhouse.
When not working, Nick enjoyed fishing and time with his dogs, Maggie and Pluto. But when it came to it, he loved and enjoyed most the time he spent with his daughter, Sophie.
Nick is survived by his parents: Chipper (wife Shannon) King and Katherine (husband Johnny) Whitley; his daughter, Sophie and her mother, Chelsea; a brother, Joey; and his "bonus siblings": Wyatt, Cody, Kailyn, Vincent and Zoey. Nick is further survived by numerous other relatives and friends.
