By Clay County Fire and Rescue
May 14, 2026

Assistant Chief King dedicated 40 years of service to the Town of Murphy and its citizens, answering the call whenever his community needed him. Four decades of service is a remarkable legacy, and one that reflects true dedication to the fire service and to the people he protected.

His impact continues to be felt today through his family’s continued service to the Murphy Fire Department, carrying forward the values of commitment, sacrifice, and community that he helped build over the years.

We ask that you keep the King family, as well as the members of the Murphy Fire Department, in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Rest easy, Chief. Your service and legacy will not be forgotten.
