Our beloved father George S. King, Jr passed away peacefully in hospice on September 26, 2024, at the age of 84. He was born in Birmingham, Alabama on December 12, 1939. He lived a life of service to his family, his country and any organization he joined.  He met his wife, Sue H.

King.  He leaves behind his children George-Ann Smith and Michael King, and grandchildren Austin Smith and Ivy Barber.
