Born November 24, 1962 in Jackson, Kentucky to the late Luther Eugene & Ruby Durihan King, he grew up working on his family’s pig farm and later did metal work at several area factories. He served as a priest for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. A big teddy bear, he had a great sense of humor, was the life of the party and a true gift to have in your life.
