KING, David M., CPA,
P.A., 50, of Lutz, died Sunday, March 18, 2012, of natural causes. A
dedicated husband to wife Sharon, whom he affectionately called Doll, an
adoring father to sons David and Taylor, and a successful Lutz businessman,
his loss comes tragically and unexpectedly, leaving his family and a vast
network of devoted friends with profound sadness and heavy hearts. Born in
Tampa to David and Ginger King, David attended Jesuit, where he was a State
finalist on the swim relay team. From there he went to FSU, where he
lettered in swimming, was in the Kappa Alpha fraternity, earned an
accounting degree, and belonged to FSU's Varsity Club. In 1986, he married
Sharon and moved to Lutz, where they raised two athletically gifted sons,
David, who attends FSU, and Taylor, a starting quarterback and pitcher at
Freedom High. In business as in life, David's formula for success was a
hilarious, friendly personality, with which he built a fiercely loyal
clientele that considered Dave more than a skillful advisor, but a best
friend. In addition to Sharon, David, and Taylor, he is survived by his
parents, his siblings and their spouses Dan (Deenna), Carol Lynn Marino
(Mark), Christopher (Silvia), and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces
and nephews.
