BRUNSWICK — Carroll J. King, 81, passed on to be with the Lord Wednesday, December 10, 2025, surrounded by his family.
Born November 30, 1944 in Dixie Union, Ga., King was the son of Ed and Eva Mae Rowell King. He was the Maintenance Supervisor/Director of the Brunswick Housing Authority until his retirement in 2006, after nearly 20 years of service.
Before going to work for the housing authority, King was a tinter at Fuller O’Brien Paint Company for several years.
King was a man of few words who would do anything he could to help someone else. He was a good man and a devoted husband.
