Alma P King

Alma Paul King was born April 14, 1936 in Garland, Utah. Paul is the name he was known by everyone. Hepassed away from this life peacefully early in the morning of June 27, 2021. The afternoon and evening prior, several close family members visited Paul holding his hands, expressing their love, talking aboutcherished memories, and reading him scriptures. He is preceded in death by the love of his life, MarJeanAndreason King. Paul is survived by his older sister, Marlene King Nelson, younger brother, Larry, andfour children: Kathy Linn (Dan Bradshaw), Kevin Paul (Marjorie Church), Jill Renee’ (Marshall Murdock),and Jason Hardman (Caressa Thrift). He is the proud grandfather of 19 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren.

Paul was a very humble person and sought only to do the will of God in his life. He loved God with all his heart, mind, and strength, and Jesus Christ as his Savior and Redeemer. He loved people as Jesus did,worked and served tirelessly in bringing to pass Gods work, and touched many lives for good.

Paul served a mission to Hawaii, and with his wife MarJean, they served together in Africa, Florida, andSweden. He did his best in his various callings in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saintsthroughout his life. Paul enjoyed being in nature among Gods creations, whether on a walk, staying in acabin, or camping outdoors. He loved eating big salads, sandwiches, homemade chocolate chip cookies,and of course, lots of ice cream.

In his final years, Paul loved to say, Carry on! Carry on! Along with the Apostle Paul, our Pauls legacylives on, and we can imagine him modestly saying,

I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course. I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness; which the Lord, the righteous judge shall give me at that day: andnot to me only, but unto them also that love his appearing. (2 Timothy 4:7-8)
