David Edward King, 69, of Sweet Home passed away Saturday. He was born in Oakland, California to John and Sue Ann (Rohrman) King.

After school he served in the United States Army. While serving, he met one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, who helped him to answer many questions he had from the Bible. Dave’s love for what he was learning, led to him dedicating his life to Jehovah and being baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses shortly after obtaining his discharge.

Dave met the love of his life when he was introduced to Connie and the two married on February 9, 2002. Dave’s love for exploring and travel led to many adventures, and their mutual love of animals led to a houseful of rambunctious and well-loved Labrador Retrievers, Newfoundlands, and one patient kitty.

Tragically, Dave fell asleep in death on October 8, 2022 after a fall.

Dave was loved by many – a loving husband, a faithful friend and confidant, and a dedicated worshipper of his God, Jehovah. Dave will be deeply missed by all who knew him and his loved ones anxiously await being reunited with him in Paradise.

He is survived by his beloved wife Connie King of Sweet Home; sisters: Linda McCord and Cheryl King; stepdaughters: Kristen Sanders and her husband Mike of Portland and Clarissa Schaper of Moscow, Idaho.

Memorial service will be 2:00 pm, Saturday, October 22nd at The Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Sweet Home.
