Thomas King Obituary
Funeral services will be 2:00 p.m. Wednesday, October 16, 2024 at Hughart, Beard & Giles Funeral Home with Revs. Paul and Rachel Ganther officiating. Burial will follow in Riverside Cemetery. Visitation will be Wednesday from 12:00 p.m. until the funeral hour. Hughart, Beard & Giles Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements.
He was born on September 12, 1949, the son of the late Thomas E. and Mildred Morse King. Tommy had been a Vet Tech for several years at Westuck Veterinary Clinic, and in later years, worked at Tractor Supply Company.
Tommy received a lung transplant on New Year's Eve in 2013, and afterward, was given only one year to live. Tommy had a passion for life and for all animals, especially beagle dogs and horses, and could often be seen riding his horse around town. He also had a love for dancing, and in his younger years, taught "Disco Dancing" classes.
Tommy is survived by his sister, Carolyn Anne (Ray) Cobb of Hopkinsville, KY.
Memorial contributions, may be made, in his memory to Max's Hope or Liberty Christian Church.
