Anthony King, age 62, of Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, passed away on December 31, 2025. He was born on November 15, 1963, to Franklin Delano and Betty Sue Bivins King. Anthony was a devoted father, grandfather, and successful businessman. He dedicated many years to Jones Home Furnishings, where his commitment to customer service earned him the respect and loyalty of his customers.
Anthony’s love for his family was unparalleled. He is survived by his two daughters, Mallory Oldham (Drew) and Tessa King, both of Lawrenceburg, TN; his son, Clay King of Murfreesboro, TN; and his seven adored grandchildren, Jack Oldham, Henry Oldham, Duncan Oldham, Winnie Oldham, Mela Smith, Vayda Smith, and Scout Smith. He cherished every moment spent with them, whether it was at a family gathering or just a quiet afternoon at home.
Anthony was an avid fan of UT Football and the Chicago Bears, and his love for music and talent for woodworking were evident to anyone who knew him. He was also a Corvette enthusiast through and through.
His memory will be treasured by all who had the pleasure of knowing him, and his spirit will continue to inspire those he has left behind. Anthony’s life was a testament to the beauty of embracing one’s passions and the importance of family and community. He will be deeply missed, but his warmth and kindness will never be forgotten.
Arrangements are being handled by Neal Funeral Home, and a memorial service will be conducted at Ethridge Church of Christ. Condolences may be sent by way of their website at www.nealfuneralhome.net.
