Greenville- Michael J. King, 67, of Fenwick, formerly of Belding, passed away 
Monday morning, Sept. 16, 2013, at his home under the loving care of his family 
and Spectrum Health Hospice.

The son of Eddie Vern and Sylvia Gertie (Davis) King, he was born on Aug. 3, 
1946, in Jackson. Following high school, Mike served in the U.S. Army and was a 
decorated veteran of the Vietnam War. On March 22, 1969, in Greenville, he 
married the former Joan Eva Johnson and together they enjoyed 25 years of 
marriage until Joan passed away on May 13, 1993.

Mike enlisted in the Michigan National guard in 1973, serving almost 19 years 
and attaining the rank of sergeant. A veteran of the first Gulf War, he was 
called back to active duty in support of Operation Desert Shield and Operation 
Desert Strom and he retired from the former Extruded Metals in Belding after 34 
years. 

On Sept. 18, 2004, he married Christine (Hanna) Kennedy and they would have 
celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary this Wednesday. His greatest joy in 
life was time spent with his grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his first wife, Joan King; and a step-
son, Charles William "Charlie" Kennedy on May 18, 2004.

Survivors include his wife, Chris Kennedy-King of Fenwick; a daughter, Shelly
