Christian Nathaniel King, 29, of Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin passed on May 6, 2026. He was born on October 10, 1996 at Fort Campbell, KY to Heather (Lemley) Martin and Walter King.

Christian graduated from Sand Creek High School in Colorado Springs, CO. He spent his younger years in Amarillo, TX being a happy, laid-back kid, he was the "easy one", quiet and shy, sweet and always smiling. His aunt nicknamed him "Smiley" the 8th dwarf. His teachers would say they wished they had a "room full of Christians" to his mom he will always be her "sweet boy" no matter his age.

He loved video games and would spend his time playing online with friends and family. He was goofy, often joking with his family, mostly his siblings. He loved his dog Shiloh and would spend most of his days with her by his side. He always had a love of trains and wolves. Christian enjoyed Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, football (the Broncos were his team), WWE, and K-Pop. He could be found watching Doctor Who or Star Trek and spending time with his young niece and nephew. He always had a Dr. Pepper in hand or nearby and would be found in a hoodie no matter the weather. He would get excited over the little things, and share his excitement with others, even a new body wash he had just gotten. Christian was a hard worker who was planning for his future, he was looking into buying a new car and saving to buy his first house. He was thoughtful of others and would often bring small treats to his mom and help others when he could. Christian is loved beyond measure and his family and friends will always remember his sweet, kind nature.
