Thomas Carl King

Obituary

It is with heavy hearts we announce that Thomas Carl King , 55, of Lexington entered Heaven on Sunday January 2, 2022 after an unexpected and short sickness. 

Born September 15, 1966, in Guilford County, he was the son of Ernest Carl King (Barbara) of Trinity and Doris Frazier Higgins of Thomasville. 

Thomas worked many years with his dad building and remodeling houses. Later he worked for M&M Builders of High Point. For the past 15 years Thomas was best known for his work in the church. He was instrumental in several churches around the area, calling WhirlWind Ministries home. You could find Thomas running sound, cleaning, teaching, and anything that was needed. Thomas loved to vacation with his loving wife at the beach or on a cruise ship.

In addition to his parents, he is survived by his loving wife of 37 years, Marilyn Atkinson King of the home; son Joshua Carl King and wife Amanda of Lexington; sister Lea Phillips and husband Garrett of Stokesdale; grandchildren, Carlee Faith King and Levi Carl King who was his pride and joy; and nephew Jacob Phillips. 

Celebration of Life Service will be announced at a later date.
