Jerry King a lifelong Bracken supporter
Jerry Dean King never lived more than five miles away from the Bracken County home where he was born.
A former county magistrate and co-chairman of the Bracken County Democratic Party, he immersed himself in local politics.
"He was very devoted to talking to people about their concerns for the county," said his daughter, Anna Cummins, of Brooksville.
Mr. King, 59, died Thursday at his home in Neave. He was an assistant manager at Brooksville Farm and Supply, a farmer and landowner. He was a member of Brooksville Masonic Lodge No. 154 F&AM.
Mr. King, a farmer for most of his life, would set down what he was doing, no matter what, to help somebody else, Mrs. Cummins said.
He was a religious man, who served as a deacon and song leader at Willow Baptist Church. Besides farming, singing was his favorite hobby, Mrs. Cummins said.
Mr. King was part of a family singing group called King's Heirs, which included Mrs. Cummins and his wife. They sang for other churches and revivals.
Her father liked to make people smile, Mrs. Cummins said.
"He had a wonderful sense of humor," she said. "He always had something positive to say and would take a situation and make the best out of it."
