Daniel Keith King- born August 13, 1986- moved from this mortal life into eternal life with his Savior Jesus and loved ones gone before him. He passed after months of illness at his home in Nicholasville, Kentucky on May 12, 2025. He was the cherished son of Robert Michael and Sheila (née Keith) King of Nicholasville and the beloved big brother of Kayla (née King) Leimer and her husband Adam Leimer of Louisiana.
Daniel faced down many obstacles and challenges throughout life with courage and grace. He was a compassionate friend to all and a better man than most. He will always be missed by his family, his beagle Boone and many, many friends left behind.
No services are planned at this time. The family will hold a family gathering later this year in August.
