The board of advisors of the Lenoir County Community Foundation was heartbroken to hear of the passing of Adrian King.

King was a tremendous contributor to the local community. He served on the board of the Lenoir County Community Foundation for a number of years and consistently championed the nonprofit community.

The Rotary Club of Kinston released the following statement: "It is with great sadness that I report the death of Rotarian Adrian King due to COVID-19. We will miss his big smile. He was a tremendous contributor to the Rotary Club of Kinston and a tremendous contributor to the community. Just this spring even as the pandemic grew, he continued in his role as chairman of the grants committee of the Rotary Club. His leadership as Chairman of the Pride of Kinston and the Kinston Area Recovery Effort (KARE) has changed lives, changed the community, and will endure in its impact. Adrian, we will miss you!" - Bob Griffin, president, Rotary Club of Kinston

All are encouraged to read more about his life in the Kinston Free Press, especially when he was named Citizen of the Year.
