Dyersburg, TN (Former resident of Racine, WI – Hi, My name is Derwin O’Keith King. I was born October 13, 1966, in Racine, Wisconsin to the union of Martin and Wilma (nee: Hardin) King.

I received my formal education in the Racine Unified School District. I accepted Christ at an early age in which I was baptised and became a member of Greater Mount Eagle Baptist Church, under the leadership of the late Rev. Charles E. Thornhill.

In my leisure I loved to cook not only for myself, but for others also.

I departed this life on September 22, 2021, in Jackson, Tennessee. I was preceded in death by my father Martin King and a few other loved ones (too many to name).

I leave to cherish my memories: My loving mother Wilma King. My siblings Kaundlen Anderson, Byron Riley, April Puryear, Taylor-Jordan Puryear, Linda Mullens, Lisa (Gregg) Mckenzie, Constance (Robert) Cook, Sylvester Gladney, Roberta Robertson, Charles Robertson and Ronald Robertson. My former wife Markeeta Pickett King and a host of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and many, many friends.

Derwin O’Keith King, age 54, passed away on Wednesday, September 22, 2021 at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital in Jackson, Tennessee. A Celebration of His Life will be held on Friday, October 1, 2021 6:00pm in the chapel of Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home, 4600 County Line Rd., Racine, Wisconsin. Visitation will be in the chapel 4:00pm – 6:00pm.

Please wear a facial covering while in the funeral home.

Testimonials

December 18, 2024

Words cannot even begin to express the tremendous gratitude our family has for a team like the one at Draeger-Langendorf Funeral Home & Crematory. Thank you for the gentle lovely care over our mother Delia (Rosa) Balderas. Never having had a direct experience with a funeral home to this extent we didn’t know what to expect. We didn’t have a clue that they would step right in and have the most comforting team surrounding us that thought of ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING for anyone in our position. It was very evident from the first discussion on the phone that they were already well prepared to handle every little detail for us that we weren’t even aware would be required. Mark and his team truly eased so much of the unknown worries right out of our path, and left room for us to just focus on the small personal details we wanted for our mom. It was nice to know that all cost involved was in black and white on their site as well as on paper at our first meeting. Leaving no room for question or doubt what so ever with any fee involved. It was truly a blessing to have everything written out so well and simplified with various price range options in a time that we needed crystal clear direction. Its been beautiful to see that their care and service didn’t stop after our mom’s service came to an end. They continue to be in communication with immediate responses as questions arise along the way. God bless Mark, and the entire compassionate team, to be around to guide many many more for generations to come through life’s most difficult times. You are all truly amazing.
