Mr. Fred Jackson King Jr.

Fred Jackson King, Jr. 63, joined his father Fred Jackson King, Sr. and grandparents in Heaven on April 3, 2020. His devotion and support to his family was evident on a daily basis. He was blessed with a family who loved him through some difficult years of personal struggles. However, he never failed to let people know that God turned all that around for him. God was the one who done the work in his life. He loved the Lord and his church family, Dotson Memorial Baptist Church. He especially loved working with the Sonshine Class. Fred was born on May 11, 1956 in Knoxville, TN. Fred attended Doyle High School. He was a retired auto mechanic, who enjoyed racing with a passion, especially dirt track racing. He coached baseball for several years at Eagleton Little League and his face would light up when he saw his children and grandchildren play.
