faithfully.
Stephen was a veteran in the US Army, serving from 1985-1990. He resigned from The State of Ohio after working there over 2 decades. He met and worked with such a wonderful group of people, of which 1 was his mother and his 2 first cousins.
The holy union to Angela (King) Allen brought three children Charles Jr., Amber, and Angel.
Stephen was proceeded in death by his father Charles King and daughter Amber Jean-Nichole King.

To the family and friends of Charles Stephen King Sr.,
Steve and I worked together for a number of years with the state of Ohio. Steve was always fun to be around. I was truly shocked when I heard of his passing. I offer my sincere condolences to the family and all those who came to know Steve. May the peace of God bring comfort to each one of you today and in the days to come. Cherish the memories, that they might overshadow the emptiness you may feel from time to time. Take your rest Bro. Steve. Grace and peace to all.
Dear CJ and Angel,
Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us everyday unseen, unheard, your dad will always be near. It is very difficult to say good bye to the person we love. Your father and memory of the times you spent together will always be in your heart. Your dad is resting peaceful with our Lord. My deepest condolences, and I will be here if you need me.
