Jim F. King

Jim King, aged 65, passed away at home after putting up a fierce battle with cancer. Jim graduated from Soquel High School in 1977, and then graduated from Cal Poly SLO in 1985. He loved the outdoors, had a passion for horses and competitive team roping. He learned how to rope from Tod Brown, who took Jim under his wing spending many good days roping at the Brown's Arena where the Capitola Mall stands now in Santa Cruz County. Jim is survived by his wife, Kati King; son, Leland King; and loving Canadian cousins. A celebration of life will be held at a later date in Hollister.
