Emory Robert King, Jr., affectionately known as "Junior," passed away on March 15, 2025, in Roanoke, Virginia. He was born on August 3, 1968, in Roanoke, where he spent his life surrounded by family, friends, and the great outdoors he loved so much.

Junior was an avid outdoorsman who found joy in hunting and fishing. He was a devoted NASCAR fan, especially of Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt, Sr. A man of strong Christian faith, Junior's gentle spirit and love for animals were especially evident in the bond he shared with his beloved dog, Frosty.

He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Bessie Lola Jenkins and Marshall Jenkins, and Nettie Maxfield and Monroe Maxfield; his mother, Doris Ann Jenkins King; his brother, Robert Eugene King; and his faithful companion, Frosty.

Those left to cherish his memory include his father, Emory King, Sr.; his siblings, Donna L. Caron and Michael Alan King; and his longtime friends, Glenda Janney Lemon and Christy Altice. Junior's kindness and friendship touched many, and his memory will be lovingly carried on by all who knew him.

Interment will take place at Montvale Baptist Cemetery in Montvale, Virginia.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that contributions be made to Good Samaritan House in Junior's honor.
