Obituary of Luca Brian King
"There is no foot so small that it cannot leave an imprint on this world"
Luca Brian King, 19 months, of Bennettsville, SC, died unexpectedly at home on Wednesday, June 3, 2015.
Luca was the beloved son of Devin King and Chelsea Schumacher King. He was born in Washington, D.C. on October 8, 2013, 3 months prematurely. Luca spent the first 3 months of his life in the NICU. As Luca grew, he went through much but the "Little Man" was determined and in January of 2014, he left the hospital with his parents.
He was the delight of his family. Luca was a happy child, with a determination and mind of his own who when he smiled hearts were won. He loved playing with his brothers and being with his family. All of his family and the ones he interacted with will truly miss this child who brought so much joy to our lives.
Luca was welcomed home to heaven by his paternal grandfather James M. King.
Luca leaves behind for now his parents Devin King, serving in the Navy in Washington, D.C. and Chelsea Schumacher King of Bennettsville, SC, brothers Dustin James King of Sayre, PA and Holden James King of Bennettsville, SC, paternal grandmother Cathy Bolesta of South Waverly, PA, maternal grandmother Shirley Schumacher of Bennettsville, SC, paternal great-grandmother Frances P. King Simko of Athens, PA, and several aunts, uncles, and cousins.
