At Age 58, he cashed in his chips on Monday, December 14, 2020 in Lubbock, Texas.
He was a loving and devoted father and grandfather. His family was the most important thing in his life. He loved life and people, and could easily make a connection with anyone.
He was raised in Plainview, Texas. Bill was a dedicated logistics manager at Sunstar Electric, Inc for 6 years. Bill had a love for music and playing guitar. He made sure to teach his children how to play, and that tradition continues through his grandchildren. He enjoyed poker, bowling and golf; "Not bad for a white guy," as he would say.
Bill was an avid bowler at South Plains Lanes throwing a perfect game with his teams and competed weekly. His personal goal was to score 300, but his highest he ever got was 280. He loved going to dinner with his family and friends, but was especially smitten with his granddaughter, Eliana.
Bill King was preceded in death by his mother, Shirley Ann King; grandmother, Nadine McMillion, and uncle, Jimmy McMillion.
Survived by his sister, Robbie Hembree; brother, Erik King; His legacy is continued by his two sons, Ryan Paul Moody and Billy Roy King II; one and only precious daughter, Rheanna Ashley King; nephew, Ryan Hembree, who saw him as a father and he as his son; 6 grandchildren: Samantha Hope (16), Trinity Grace (14), Jordan Scott (12), Iris Kathleen (7) by Ryan and Carla Moody, and Eliana Grace (2) by Billy and Kyley King.
