James Benjamin King Jr.

Survivors include his beloved wife Allene Ellis King and their loving dog, Jillie; sisters Margaret Davis of Calhoun, Georgia and Jean D’Amour of Tucson, Arizona; daughter Michelle Herring of Jacksonville, Florida; son James B.

Jim’s proudest accomplishments were graduating from The University of the South School of Theology on May 29, 2011 and being a founding member of St. Teresa’s.

He enjoyed traveling in his R.V. with his wife and landscaping their yard at home in Marietta.

Jim owned several businesses over the years and was quite the salesman. A dear friend once stated, “When you started talking to Jim, if you weren’t happy, you would be laughing when you left.”
