Kevin King

Kevin King, a beloved and memorable figure, was born on January 15, 1963, in Memphis, Tennessee, and he left this world unexpectedly, of natural causes, on October 4, 2025, also in Memphis. Kevin lived a life that was defined by devotion, laughter, and an unwavering commitment to his family and work. His legacy as a successful businessperson was marked by his unparalleled work ethic, never missing a day in the field and earning accolades as the best salesperson. Kevin had a natural talent for building long-term relationships, notably David Lee, his childhood best friend, which endeared him to colleagues and clients alike.

Those who knew Kevin will forever cherish his humor and the way he could weave captivating stories about life. He had a disarming nature and infectious laugh that made everyone feel comfortable and welcome. His gift for making friends, even with in-laws, showcased his open heart and charming spirit. He was intelligent—always knowing something about everything—and demonstrated an extraordinary memory for details, whether it was about his favorite subjects like the history of U.S. history or obscure Notre Dame achievements.

Kevin's personality sparkled with warmth; he was the best at awkward jokes, and his ability to make anyone belly-laugh will be sorely missed. His home was always immaculate, reflecting his charmingly OCD tendencies, and it was not just his house that he kept pristine, but his car as well. He was a sharp dresser, taking pride in his appearance, which complemented his beautiful green eyes and infectious smile. He was a true loyalist, not only to his family but also to his passions, such as his beloved Notre Dame team. The outcome of a game often set the mood for his day, and he took great pleasure in discussing and sharing his insights about his children, who brought him immense pride.

Kevin adored spending time with his spouse of the last 14 years, Sally Adams, and sharing his pride in his two girls, Crystal (Mary) O'Guin and Tyler King. He found immense joy in cherished moments shared with his sister and closest friend, Celina (Scott) Roseberry, and her children, Brande (Larry) Immel and Cubbins (Ashley) Roseberry. He also leaves his brother Kelly King and sister Tara (Keith) Fray, alongside a host of nieces, nephews, and other loving family and friends.

As we remember Kevin, we celebrate his proudest accomplishments, which included raising his children with love, maintaining a pristine home and car, exhibiting an unwavering work ethic, and caring for his parents, sister, and extended family. He had a knack for always paying it forward with his whole heart, positively impacting everyone around him.

A celebration of Kevin's life will be held on October 11, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM at the Ainstree Club House in Germantown, Tennessee. All who knew and loved him are invited to come together and honor a man who brought joy, laughter, and unwavering loyalty into our lives.

Kevin's sudden departure leaves a void that will not easily be filled, but his spirit will live on in the memories of his loved ones. The laughter, the stories, and the love he shared will remain etched in our hearts forever.
