Kenneth King Obituary
MIDDLEPORT — Kenneth King, of Middleport, passed away on Sunday, Feb. 14, 2021, at the Arbors of Pomeroy. He was born on Feb. 26, 1935, in Pomeroy, to the late Edward and Leona (Hart) King. Mr. King graduated from Pomeroy High School and went to work for the GM Chevrolet Garage as a grease boy and finished years later at the Mason County Motor Company in Point Pleasant. He went to school in Cincinnati 36 times to further his education as a certified master mechanic. He was a member of the Gold Ridge Gun Club. He helped younger boys shoot and learn all the safety laws and good sportsmanship. He also helped the kids every year at the Isaac Walton hunting and fishing day. He was a member of the Carleton Church, where he was the song leader. He was always willing to do anything the Church needed. He was also also a big Chet Atkins fan. Ken always put 100% into everything he done. Anything from driving race cars or shooting trap in many states. He was loved and he will be missed.
He is survived by the love of his life, his wife of 44 years Marcia King; children, Lisa and Eddie; step-children who he treated as his own, Debbie and Kay; several grandchildren, several nieces and nephews and two Brittany dogs, which he hunted and loved dearly.
He is preceded in death by his parents; sister, Earlene; brothers Gene Paul and Marvin.
Funeral services will be held on Friday, Feb. 19, 2021, at 1 p.m. at the Anderson McDaniel Funeral Home in Pomeroy with Pastor Jimmy Evans officiating. Burial will follow at the Carleton Cemetery. Visitation for family and friends will be held one hour prior to the service.

#14, Sky King! I remember his race car that he kept at his Mom and Dad's house on Rt 7. When we'd come down to visit, from Columbus to visit with Grandma and Grandpa King, that race car would be sitting there with no cover over the engine. One time when I was real young, 4 or 5 years he started that engine up and scared me. Now I'd love to hear the sound of a racing engine. Uncle Ken was a stickler for details. Precision and Quality, pride in his workmanship. After I got my Associate Degree in Chemical Engineering he's asked me questions about the gas used in car air conditioning systems, called R-12. He's asked "Gary, what is Dichlorodifluoromethane?" and I would draw the chemical structure for him. I enjoyed listen to Uncle Ken and his brothers tell hunting stories, and building projects on the 5 acre "Ponderosa" property of my grandparents. He was the last member of my Mom's family to go home to be with Jesus. I believe we will all meet in the very near future.
