September 19, 1932 - November 24, 2024

Our beloved Chester E. King passed away peacefully in his home on November 24, 2024 at the age of 92. A testimony to his family and community, a legend in the outdoors and farm, he loved all and touched so many in his life.
He was born in Cooter, Missouri on Sept 19, 1932. His childhood in Heafer and later life in Cabot, Arkansas, instilled a lifelong passion for family, farming and the outdoors and he loved to speak about it with anyone who would listen. Chester and Anne, who passed away in 2006, first met and bonded over their mutual appreciation for family and continued to share this throughout their long and happy marriage.

As a member of the Mt. Pleasant Community, he was a patriarch and spiritual leader in the church with the biggest heart for all to see. His love for Christ was a witness for all to follow.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Anne; son, Lewis Chester King (Sonny); daughter, Melba V. Roe; parents, Dolphus and Prediuth King; brothers, Edward, Melvin, Wayne and D.J. King and sisters, Roxy King, Pearl Raymond, Raymell Nottenkamper, Edith King and granddaughter, Crystal King.

He leaves behind his surviving sons, Stephen, Phillip, Timmy and his wife, Miki King; a sister, Marie Ivy; brothers, Buddy, Charles, Donold and Harold King; sisters-in-law, Laura Alexander, Bettye Thompson, Ida, Pat, Peggy and Shirley King and daughter-in-law, Judy. Other survivors include his grandchildren, Sean, Kosha, Kara, Nikki, Srdjan and Noah; great-grandchildren, Keegan, Kimber, Keiley, Kaydance, Chazon, Dailen and Skylar; a great-great grandchild, Sylvia and a multitude of nieces, nephews, extended family, friends and in-laws.
