He leaves to cherish his memory a mother, Minnie King of Camilla, Georgia; a father, Lenwood King, Sr. of Camilla, Georgia; a son, Shederick King (Slynthia Quimby) of Camilla, Georgia; a daughter, Tawanna (Anthony) Jones of Camilla, Georgia; three grandsons, Khalil King, Iyen Butler, Messiah King of Camilla, Georgia; one granddaughter, Ravenon Robinson of Camilla, Georgia; five sisters, Mattie (Fernardo) Brown of Jonesboro, Georgia, Patricia (Gregory) Davis of Ellenwood, Georgia, Brenda Frazier of Baconton, Georgia, Teresa (Obie) Simmons, Allison (Dave) Whiteside of Stone Mountain, Georgia; four brothers, Lenwood King, Jr. of Camilla, Georgia, Harry (Allene) King of Albany, Georgia, Gregory (Paula) King of Bonaire, Georgia, Michael King of Atlanta, Georgia; two uncles, Johnny Lewis King, Sr., Wilbur Mack Williams of Camilla, Georgia; two aunts, Alice Jackson of Quitman, Georgia, Daisy Robinson of Savannah, Georgia; several nieces and nephews; a host of cousins and friends.
God looked around His garden and He found an empty place
He then looked down upon this earth, and saw "Marvin's" tired face.
He put his arms around him and lifted him to rest
God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best.
He knew that "Marvin" was suffering; He knew he was in pain
He knew that he would never get well on earth again.
He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb
So He closed "Marvin's" weary eyelids, and whispered, Peace be thine.
It broke our hearts to lose him but he didn't go alone,
For part of us went with him the day God called him home.
Humbly Submitted,
Your Family
