Lucky Ray King Funeral Fund

Lucky King was only 13 years old when he passed away in a car accident near Bell, TN. It was Dec. 20 — just five days before Christmas — when another driver sideswiped the car in which he was riding. The impact killed both Lucky and his best friend's grandmother, who was driving.

Lucky, who went by "Lucky Ducky" and "Lucky Bear" in our family, liked to play video games and loved animals — especially lizards and frogs. He was known for having a "good heart" and never hesitated to help others in need.

Now, our family is in need.

Lucky leaves behind a little sister and an older brother, both of whom are heartbroken. His mother, Neta — a talented musician and single, working parent — is left to care for her remaining children while working through her own grief.

Family has stepped in to help with what we can, but our resources are very limited.  We're asking for assistance to help cover funeral costs and provide some ongoing support to Neta and her children while they process this horrible tragedy. No mother should have to choose between grieving for a lost child and feeding her family.

We are so grateful for any help you can offer during this difficult time. If you can't give, please consider sharing Lucky's story with your friends. Every bit helps. Finally, and most importantly, please keep Neta, her children and our entire family in your prayers this Christmas. It means the world to us.

With Grateful Hearts, 

The Family of Lucky King
