Rev. Roy L. King Obituary

Greentown, IN - Rev. Roy L. King, 93, of Greentown, faithfully finished his earthly race and entered the presence of his Lord and Savior at 9:28 p.m. on Sunday, February 1, 2026, at Century Villa Health Care. A devoted servant of God, Roy's life was a living testimony of obedience, perseverance, and faith passed from one generation to the next.

He was born on January 4, 1933, in Arkansas to Leslie and Iva (Love) King. On December 24, 1952, he married his lifelong partner in faith and ministry, June Ann (Riley) King, in Greentown, Indiana. Together, they shared more than 72 years of marriage serving the Lord side by side until June Ann went home to be with the Lord on January 1, 2025.

A 1952 graduate of Eastern High School, Roy answered the call to serve both his country and his God. He served in the United States Army, attaining the rank of Technical Sergeant, and later devoted his life to ministry and farming. Roy founded Community Bible Church and Christian School in Greentown, as well as Southview Assembly of God Church. With June Ann's help, he organized and led numerous mission trips to Haiti, where their hands-on faith helped establish churches, schools, and an orphanage. Their ministry extended far beyond borders, touching many lives. Later, Roy and June Ann owned and operated R & J Auto Sales in Madison, Florida, before returning to Indiana to be near family. No matter where life placed him, Roy and June Ann remained committed to God's calling. He enjoyed golfing with family and friends and played in his 90's. He also enjoyed working outdoors, and supporting his children in 4-H, often traveling out West to purchase cattle so his children could learn responsibility and stewardship. In his later years, he loved caring for his property, mowing his lawn, and spending time outdoors.

Roy's greatest legacy lives on through those he loved and led. He is survived by his children, Brian (Debbie) King, Cheryl (Brent) Marner, Matthew (Gina) King, and Jeremy (Summer) King; grandchildren, Holly (Chris) Collins, Colin Marner, Brean King, Mason King, Carson King, and Grayson King; great-grandchildren, Ryan and Camille Collins; siblings, Darlene Fitch and Frank (Shirley) King; and many nieces and nephews.

He was joyfully reunited in heaven with his beloved wife, June Ann; his parents, Leslie and Iva King; his daughter, Cynthia King; brother-in-law, Jim Riley; and siblings Donnie King, Loeta Frawley, Ellen Singleton, Florence Singleton, Geraldine Gibson, Ray King, and lone Lyon.


The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate caregivers at Paradigm Hospice and Century Villa Health Care for their faithful service and kindness during Roy's final days.

A celebration of life and homegoing service will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, at Christian Life Fellowship, 1009 Holiday Drive, Greentown, Indiana, with Pastor Gary Hoover and Pastor Logan Sparling officiating. Burial will follow at Greenlawn Cemetery, with military honors provided by the United States Army and the Greentown American Legion. Friends may visit with the family from 12:00 p.m. until the time of service at the church.
