October 9, 1965 — October 12, 2026

Timothy Grogan King, a beloved husband, father, brother, and friend, peacefully passed away on October 12, 2026, in the loving company of his family. Born on October 9, 1965, in New Braunfels, Texas, Tim lived a life defined by love, hard work, and an unwavering dedication to those he cherished. Tim was the cherished son of Roskoe and Bridget King, who preceded him in death. He was also predeceased by his siblings Pat, Steve, John, Peggy, Edi, and Noni King. He is survived by his devoted wife of 34 years, Kelley Christina Monaghan King, and their three children: Kaleigh of Overbrook, Oklahoma; Ryan of Austin, Texas; and Allison of Madisonville, Texas. Tim is also survived by his siblings Kathie of Austin, Mike of Austin, Kevin of Austin, Gladie of New Braunfels, David of Huntsville, Brian of Borger, and Robert of Canyon Lake. After graduating from Borger High School in Borger, Texas, Tim honed his skills and earned a Master’s License in HVAC and Refrigeration. This expertise led him to create King Kitchen Repair in 2002, a business renowned for its exceptional service to local restaurants. Tim's professional life was marked by integrity and a dedication to quality, traits that earned him the respect and admiration of colleagues and clients alike. Married to Kelley on August 29, 1993, Tim was a dedicated family man who built their home, horse barn, and shop with his own hands. His love for his family was evident in every action, from sending flowers to his wife to ensuring the safety of his children's vehicles. Known for his quick wit, warm smile and Irish sparkling eyes, Tim had an extraordinary ability to make everyone feel welcome and valued. His kindness and generosity left an indelible, unforgettable mark on all who knew him. Tim's passions extended beyond his work and family. He enjoyed countless fishing trips with his brothers and friends. He also loved RVing with his family in Port Aransas and skiing the black diamond slopes with fearless enthusiasm. These hobbies brought joy to Tim and those who shared in these adventures. A service to celebrate Tim's life will be held on October 30, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. at St. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, located at 386 N. Castell, New Braunfels, Texas 78132. Family and friends are invited to join in honoring the life of a remarkable man whose spirit and legacy will continue to inspire and uplift those he leaves behind. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in memory of Tim. The family expresses sincere gratitude to everyone who played a part in Tim's life, extending their deepest thanks for the support and friendship shown during this heartfelt time. As we remember Tim, let us celebrate the warmth, humor, and love he shared so generously. His memory will forever be a guiding light and a testament to a life well-lived.
