Homer was born to Homer and Lois King on July 27, 1971 in Claremore, Oklahoma.

He was the oldest of four sons. He made his home in Kenwood, Oklahoma where he lived all his life. Shy but a very loving person he helped people whenever possible and was dedicated to his family. He loved watching wrestling with his dad and brothers, fishing and just spending time with his friends and family.

As an infant his Aunt Linda Kay made a comment about him being mushy and the nickname Mush followed him throughout his life. When he grew older he attended Kenwood School where he participated in choir, t-ball and Special Olympics.

Homer was a hard worker starting with the summer youth program, Simmons, Cherokee Nation Head Start and the A.M.O. Clinic in Salina until he became disabled. Home examined his life and received the Lord as his personal savior on March 8, 2010. We will miss our son and brother very much but we have the confidence we will meet again in our Father's house.
