Jared E. King

Jared Eugene King was born to Debra G, Scaife and Robert Eugene King on November 29, 1992 in Long Beach, California. He accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior, being baptized on August 25, 2002 at Mt. Ephriam Baptist Church. Jared attended school in the Long Beach Unified School District. Later the family moved to Irving, Texas where he attended Texas Unified School District. The family then relocated to Georgia, where he attended Creekview Elementary, Webb Bridge Middle School, and Alpharetta High School, graduating in 2010 from Alpharetta High School, obtaining several awards like Student of the Month, and Ambassador. Upon graduation, he started his college career attending Georgia Perimeter College in Alpharetta, GA, he then transferred to Chattahoochee Technical College in Marietta, GA, for a degree in Cyber Security, something he was so very passionate about, and during that time he was employed at Club Corners in Alpharetta, GA. And after holding several positions there as well. And was employed until his demise. Jared also had a love for music, making beats, great food, vacations and playing his PlayStation, as well as spending time with his family, Sami and his animals, all of this brought him so much joy. He also enjoyed sports, but his favorite teams were the Lakers, and Alabama Crimson Tide. He was such a great person to be around, and when he walked into a room with that big warm smile, it made you smile too! It was so contagious! The cutest thing is that Grandma Helgesen called him “Velcro” because he became attached to you and you to him!

In 2007 Jared met the love of his life, Samantha Helgesen, they were inseparable, and loved one another unconditionally! His life plans were to obtain his degree in Cyber Security and build a life with Sami.

Jared has been a source of encouragement and support for many, with whom he has worked for or with. Always willing to be the best at what he does, never slaking. He had a great love of God, his family, Sami, her friends, his friends, his dogs Champ, Muttley, Bella and Sydney. We can’t forget his cat, Autumn, and his gecko Zeus. Oh, how he loved them, like they were human, and they loved him too!

Everyone will miss his beautiful smile, and his ability to make you feel comfortable and loved! Heaven has truly gained an angel, and you can trust that he will be looking down on us with that big beautiful, warm smile that was always posted on his face.

On the eve of January 20, 2021 the Lord quietly escorted him to the mansion He had prepared.

He leaves to cherish his precious memories, his loving Mom Debra, Stepdad Larry, his brother Corey all from Woodstock, GA. The love of his life, Samantha aka Sami, of Woodstock, GA. And a host of cousins, aunts, uncles, other relatives and friends all who loved him dearly, and of course his beloved animals.

One brother, Vernon DaShon Scaife preceded him in death on April 22, 2002. Maternal grandmother, Marie Blackey preceded him in death on January 9, 2021.
