Christopher King

Christopher Chad James William King was a Decatur young man whose life, though far too brief, was rooted in his hometown and family ties. Public records associate him with Macon County and list his resting place at Greenwood Cemetery in Decatur, reflecting local roots and community connections. He was 19 at the time of his passing in 2014.

Details available in public memorial and burial records about Christopher’s everyday life are limited in the public record. What can be said with certainty is that he was a real person from Decatur whose life mattered to people who knew him — family members, friends, and neighbors who remember him beyond the few facts recorded in archives. While specific personal interests, school or work history, and private relationships are not documented in the sources consulted, the presence of a formal burial record indicates family and community gathered to mark his life.

In remembering Christopher, the focus is on dignity: that a young life was lived in a place and among people who cared. Where public information is sparse, respect and restraint guide how we speak of him — acknowledging the limits of what is known while honoring the fact that he had a life, a name, and people who mourned his loss. This page preserves his full name and verified details so that Christopher is remembered as a person, not only as a date in a record. Friends or relatives who wish to share memories, photos, or further biographical details can help this remembrance grow into a fuller portrait of the life he led and the people who loved him.
