JEFFERY EUGENE KING

Jeffery Eugene King (February 18, 1963 - November 2, 2017), a loving father, husband, and son from Hueytown, Alabama has gone to be with his Heavenly Father at his home surrounded by his loved ones. He was a successful local business owner for nearly 30 years. He will be lovingly remembered by his beloved wife, June; daughters Brook (and Jess), Nicole (and Mike, Aaron, and Emma), Autumn, and Evynn; son, Adam; mother, Deana; father, Fred; siblings, Karen (and Chris, Kaci, and Cody) and Joel (and Angela); as well as a multitude of other family members and friends. Born and raised in Fairfield Highlands, Jeff began working at a young age for his father at King’s Boat Repair. Learning the trade, he was able to open his own business, Jeff’s Fiberglass Works. If you own a boat in central Alabama, you surely have heard of his work. He took pride in his profession and always strived to treat his customers fairly and as friends. In fact, he never met a stranger. If you stood in line with Jeff, he would know your name and someone you were related to. He had a big, kind, personality that filled up every room he entered. Jeff was a man of great faith. He loved The Lord with his whole heart and was saved and baptized in His name. In his adult life, he attended several baptist churches in the Hueytown Area over the years, but found that nothing compared to sharing the gospel with those around him through his great kindness. He was always the man to stop what he was doing when he saw someone else in need. He was always the man you could count on in a moment of crisis without asking anything in return. He did this all while telling you who the real power came from, God. His devotion to helping others lasted even until the end. More importantly than his business or a church, Jeff held his family closest to his heart. Taking care of his family was his greatest honor. Spending time and making memories with them was what he enjoyed most. He and his wife fell madly in love 18 years ago. They described their love as a fairy tale. Their love poured out onto the world around them. You could even feel it when you walked in their home; a place of affection, caring, and utter and complete devotion. June cared for him all through his long, strenuous, 3 year battle with cancer. Her unwillingness to lose faith and determination to keep her husband was what kept him going. Jeff was a strong person and so is his wife. His family would like to thank all of those who contributed to his two trips to MD Anderson in Houston, Tx. The amount of generosity shown by Jeff’s friends and also strangers was astonishing. A service will be held Monday, November 6, 2017, at 2:00 PM, at Peoples Chapel Funeral Home. Memorial contributions to the King family are suggested instead of flowers. Please allow the family privacy immediately after the service, as they would like to grieve together in peace.
