Kyle King was born on April, 21, 1958 to Earl Kenneth and Donna Rae (Thompson)
King in Perry, OK. He attended schools in Perry, graduating from Perry High
School in 1976. After graduation, Kyle went to work for Ditch Witch and was
employed there for more than 15 years. During his last 3 years at Ditch Witch,
he joined the Perry Fire Department as a volunteer firefighter. He quickly
realized that being a firefighter was his calling. In 1991, Kyle joined the
Perry Fire Department. He has bravely served the community as a firefighter and
E.M.T. for more than 20 years, attaining the rank of Captain. On June 16, 2010
Kyle married his best friend, Teresa Taylor, in Perry, OK. Although their years
together were shorter than they had planned, there was a lifetime of love fit
into those years.
When he was not working, Kyle enjoyed several hobbies. He loved taking daytrips
with Teresa to see the countryside, traveling, wood working, teaching fire
prevention to local students, welding, and being outdoors. He was a member of
the St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church, Knights of Columbus, Oklahoma Fire
Fighters Association, and the International Association of Professional
Firefighters.
Kyle was a selfless and generous man who is described by those who knew him as a
goofball. He enjoyed life to the fullest and loved spending time with his
family. Kyle King was a brave firefighter, an amazing husband, a loving father,
an adoring grandfather, and a faithful and loyal friend. He will truly be missed
by his family, friends, and the entire community of Perry.
He is survived by his wife Teresa, of the home. One son: Jason Edgar and wife
Amy, of Inwood, WV. Three daughters: Falon King, of Sand Springs, OK, Angel Mast
of Cainsville, MO, and Leslie Hagelberg and husband Terry, of Berryhill, OK. A
