Mr. King was born September 4, 1960, in Martinsville, Indiana, the son of Melville Ross King and Marialice L. Sexton King.
Mark was an electronic technician at Cummins Inc, where he worked for over 30 years. When he was younger, he enjoyed riding motorcycles, hiking, and other outdoor activities.

Survivors include his siblings, Dennis King of Bloomington and Pamela (Thomas) Baker of NC; two nieces, one nephew, three great-nieces and five great-nephews.
He was preceded in death by his father, Melville Ross King and mother, Marialice L. Meyers.
