Branson Michael King, 23, of Windsor Twp., passed away Saturday, December 11, 2021 in J.W. Ruby Memorial Hospital, Morgantown, WV.
Born in Allentown, he was the son of David M. and Kathy C. (Cook) King, Windsor Twp. He graduated from Kutztown Area High School in 2016, and was currently in his junior year at California University of Pennsylvania, studying secondary education with a focus on history. Branson was an amazing person. He loved to play ice hockey and was probably the best definition of the word teammate, from top to bottom, on or off the ice. Branson was the person who needed nothing but gave everything. He loved to dance, and he made every moment more fun. He was an avid storyteller and was always ready with a joke. If fun was to be had, Branson was there. Spending time with his girlfriend Lyndsey, Fishing, the British Virgin Islands, parties, and listening to music were a few of his favorite activities. Branson had the smile to light up a stadium and the laugh to fill it.
In addition to his parents, Branson is survived by a brother: Austin D. King, Scottsdale, AZ; a sister: Olivia K. King, Hamburg; paternal grandfather: Jay H. King, Jr., husband of Nadine (Heiter), Kempton, paternal grandmother: Linda R. (Mengle) King, Shomakersville; and maternal grandmother: Mary Jo (Turner) Boswell, Zebulon, GA, widow of James R. Boswell (predeceased by his maternal grandfather, Calvin E. Cook). He is also survived by his many aunts, uncles, and cousins.
A viewing will be held Sunday, December 19, 2021 from 3:00 to 6:00 pm in The Bridge Church, 3561 Old 22, Hamburg, PA 19526, followed by the service at 6:00 pm. Burial will be private at the convenience of the family in Friedens Lutheran Cemetery, Stony Run.
