Mr. Harel King
Harel King was born December 12, 1949 to the late Robert and Beatrice King. He joined Pilgrim Rest A.M.E. Zion Church under Reverend Seller. Later he moved to Clewiston, Florida, and joined First Baptist Church where Reverend Tucker was his Pastor. After moving back to Alabama in November of 1998 Harel joined 2nd Mt. Zion Baptist Church under Reverend Luzell Stallworth and was a faithful member until his health failed. He diligently performed many services at the church: He was vice-Chairman of the Trustee Board, member of the Male Choir, yardman, church bus driver and a very humble servant of God.
He received his formal education at Mixonville Community School. After his schooling Harel worked for Steven Robinson in Evergreen, Alabama for several years. Later on in life Harel started Paper Wooding until he left and went to Clewiston, Florida and began working at U.S. Sugar. After moving back to Mixonville, Alabama he began working for Conecuh County Engineering Department and remained there for 19 ½ years.
Harel dated his “soul mate” for four years in high school and later married the late Mrs. Sadie Robbins (King) on June 21, 1969. In this union God blessed Harel and Sadie with two beautiful daughters, Talson King-Ward and Kimberly King. In 1991 they adopted six other children and helped to raise many others.
In his spare time he loved to go hunting and fishing. He loved to go to the race track and he absolutely loved his Ford trucks.
On Wednesday, October 4, 2017 at 4:07 in the evening our Father called one of his soldiers Home. …Harel King answered His call. He was preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Beatrice King; one sister, and one brother, Lamar King.
He leaves to cherish his precious memories two biological daughters, Talson King-Ward (Adrian) of Evergreen, AL and Kimberly King of McKenzie, AL; one son, Victor (Wanda) Williams; ten grandchildren, William, Adrian, Tammie, Tamaren, Ashle’, D’aundre’, Prince, Princess, Syberia and Christopher; one great granddaughter, Nyla Geter; his one brother, Ivory (Cassandra) King; three sisters-in-law, Ella M. (Carl) Johnson of New York, Sherlin (Terrance) Robbins of Clewiston, FL and Shirley Robbins of Clewiston, FL; two brothers-in-law, Billy Ray George of Clewiston, FL and Robert J. Robbins of Owassa, AL and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. He also leaves cherished memories to a very dear friend, Barbara Stokes and a best friend and coworker, Septra “Sep” Powell of many years and William “Dennis” Gaskin.
So sorry to hear of your loss. May you find comfort in knowing that the bible likens death to a deep sleep (John 11:11) and promises that Jesus Christ will awaken all those in God’s memory that have fallen asleep in death (John 5:28, 29). Yes, we have the wonderful hope of seeing our loved ones again. At that time Revelation 21:3, 4 says "death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore." Until then, continue to look to Jehovah God and his word the Bible for comfort in your times of grief and sorrow (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4).
