Jeremy King was born on November 29th, 1982 and joined his brothers Billy and Bobby in keeping parents Bob and Judy very busy for the next 20 years. For what one didn’t think of, the other did. When he was only 16 he met the love of his life, Yulonda Crawford and predicted to his buddies “That’s the girl I’m going to marry!”
And he did, four years later, shortly after enlisting in the Army. Jeremy was on his second tour in Iraq at the time of his death. Jeremy was home in May for the birth of his daughter, Kaidyn. When she was only a week old he returned to Iraq and was due home again the first of December.
His mothers description of Tall, slender, clean cut, handsome; a clown‟ fits him perfectly. He lived life to the fullest and approached everything with vigor, zest and a big smile of anticipation.
In addition to his loving wife and daughter, he is survived by his parents, brothers, and other extended family, as well as countless friends who love and will miss him deeply.
