They dated for a few years and were united in holy matrimony on October 27, 2001.   He was a man after God’s heart, and was ordained as Reverend Kenneth King on December 9, 2001, under the leadership of Reverend Nolan Hightower.  In 2008, Ken and Regina became devoted members of New Life Fellowship Church. Continuing with his life mission, Ken served in several ministries: Man-up Ministry, Couples Life Group, NLF Choir, and teaching Life Begins – A Biblical Foundation for New Members.  He was a faithful member and attended 3 services, just to be in the presence of the Lord with his brothers and sisters in Christ. He enjoyed cooking, fishing, spending time with his family and friends.  Ken was known by his friends and family as “AJ” the stand-up comedian.  He loved sharing the Word of God, by teaching numerous bible classes and was TOTALLY SOLD OUT FOR CHRIST.  Ken had a love for football, he bled blue and silver, even through their worst defeats, and their greatest triumphs, no matter the weather, time, day or night, he was a die-hard  Dallas Cowboys fan.

2nd  HALF

Ken was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph Phillip King Sr., and Laura Mae Henry King, brothers, George and David King, and sister, Cynthia King.

Just as every football game end, so does  life here on earth.  Because Ken accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior, he is resting in his eternal home called “Heaven”.  Until we meet again, he leaves his love to cherish his memory; Proverbs 31 wife, Regina King; siblings Phillip King Jr. (Janelle), Barbara Bowden, Randy King, Debra Griffin, Larry King (Ethel), Danny King, Donald King, Ricky King, Steve Murray, and Stephanie Patrick; children Kenneth King Jr., Lashara King, Chanel King, Xavier King, Kanesha King, and Takea Hall-King; grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and a host of other relatives and friends. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
