Jon Wayne King, age 76, of Swayzee, passed away Tuesday, September 4, 2018 at I.U. Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis. Jon was surrounded by his loving family during his transition from this world to heaven. He died of the West Nile Encephalitis Virus.
Jon was born on August 5, 1942 in Elwood to Norman and Aileen King. He married Sharon Dianne Knopp on June 27, 1964.
Jon was a 1966 graduate of Ball State University. He taught at Jones Jr. High School, and from there worked at Sear Roebuck, Co., and was a manager in the food business for more than 20 years. Jon loved to go fishing, golfing, working on odds and ends projects, and working on cars. He had a passion for music and could name artists and songs that no one else could think of.
