Our favorite youngest son- Paul Thomas King of Chesterfield, left the physical world after only 21 years on this Earth. On Wednesday October 27, 2021, Paul went on his final ride with his best friend. Though his death has created a void for those who loved and knew him his final days were beautiful and filled with the things he loved the most. He leaves to honor and cherish his memory his parents, Richard (Bugsy) and Susan King; his brother, Ritchie and fiancé Caitlin Whitt; his sister, Holly and her husband Jude Cochran; and his brother, Harrison. He was loved and will be missed by many including grandparents, PePaw (Richard) and MeMaw (Liz) King of Hot Springs, Va. Grandmothers, Dolores Mergenthaler and Marcia Hargis of Gloucester, Va. Numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. As well as his brothers Joshua Bland and Jeremy Parrish. Plus, many friends and colleagues in the automotive industry.
In Paul's 21 years he lived larger than most people do when given longer. Many of us meander through life searching for something to be passionate about. However, Paul was the exception to the rule as he found his passion at the age of 12 and honored that by pursing it with everything he had. At 16 he had the self-realization that he wanted to get his GED and promptly began working full time in the automotive industry, turning his dreams into reality.
Paul was gifted in many ways. Put simply, he was an automotive body tech, artist, surfer, skater, snowboarder, avid rider, and devoted dog dad. Paul lived for the moment and lived life to the fullest. He was a loyal friend who was always there when needed. In July of 2020 he took to social media through Tik Tok, teaching others how to make automotive body repairs. Due to his passion, personality, and energy his followers grew to over 23k #kingbuilt. He had a hard work ethic, incredible strong will and dreamed of having his own business, King Built Custom Auto. We will miss his quick wit, sense of humor, amazing smile, seeing that mischievous gleam in his eye and huge hugs. To honor Paul's legacy memorial contributions may be made to the JSRCC Educational Foundation, c/o the Paul T. King Memorial Scholarship for Automotive Technology, P.O. Box 26924, Richmond, Va. 23261-6924. Or by visiting www.reynolds.edu/givenow. A Celebration Of Life Service will be held Friday, November 5, from 5-8 pm in the chapel at Blileys Funeral Home 6900 Hull Street Road, Richmond, Va.
