Barney E. King, Jr. passed away on Tuesday, October 22, 2013 at his home in 
Covington, LA. 
He was born on Sunday, February 18, 1923 in Birmingham, AL to Barney E. and 
Sadie Williams King but moved back to Covington at an early age.

The beloved husband of Marie Sharp King for 55 years, he is survived by four 
daughters: Wynona K. McNeil (the late Bill), Joan K. McKinley (Mike), Jacquelyn 
K. Nettles (Ben) and Tammy K. Brewer (Brian); two sisters, Geri K. Grant and 
Cheryl K. Harris (Clem); 17 grandchildren and 27 great grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents (his mother before the age of 2 years); 
his step mother, Jesse Christy King was the mother he knew and loved; two sons, 
Andrew and Lonnie King; and six siblings: Cora Lee Core, Wallace W. King, Ruth 
K. Turner, Lawrence R. King, Evelyn K. Liecher and Sidney Carroll King.

As a young man, he apprenticed with his father and later became a full partner 
with his dad and his brothers for B.E. King and Sons Plastering, Drywall, and 
Fireproofing. He later began his own company, New Orleans Plastering. With both 
companies, he contracted for jobs in many large commercial buildings in New 
Orleans. He began a second career closer to home and family when he opened King 
Real Estate where he was able to successfully support his family while helping 
many newcomers relocate to his beautiful Northshore.
