Teddy Ray King, age 66, of Harlan, Kentucky, passed away on November 9, 2025, in Lexington, Kentucky. Born and raised in Cawood, Kentucky, Teddy attended school in Cawood and spent his life surrounded by family, faith, and hard work.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Nancy King, and his brother, Tim King.

He is also survived by his brother, Garry King, and many extended family members and friends who loved him dearly.
A retired coal miner, Teddy took great pride in his work and in providing for his family. He had a deep faith in God and was known for helping anyone who needed it. Family meant everything to him, and his kindness and laughter will always be remembered.
He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him, and his memory will live on in the hearts of his family and friends.
