Terrence King Obituary (1955 - 2023) - East Brunswick, New Jersey

Terrence C. King 11/8/55 - 9/16/23 We will carry you with us all our days, remembering love does not end simply because you are gone. Terry was a fiercely devoted, generous, hilarious, and loving husband, stepfather, son, brother, uncle, and friend who bravely battled cancer the last two years. He is survived by his wife of 37 years, Joan Bennett-King, of Oakhurst; his stepdaughter, Brooke Bennett-Thomas, and her husband, Joe, of Howell. Terry has three surviving siblings: Michael King and his wife Maltu of River Plaza; Patricia Benesta and her spouse Mike of Long Branch; and Deborah Blache and her spouse Jeffrey of Pittsburgh, PA. Terry is also survived by six nieces and nephews, and three grandnieces and a grandnephew (and a grandpup). He loved spending time with his family, traveling to beautiful beaches, and a glass of pinot noir. Instead of expressing “I am sad,” the Irish would say “sadness is on me.” A great sadness is upon us all. Tá brón orm. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, 10/7 at 11am at The Reformed Church of Tinton Falls, 62 Hance Ave Tinton Falls, NJ 07724. Please reach out to family to be included in plans for a celebration of Terry in spring/summer 2024. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society: 1-888-557-7177 or www.lls.org
