I married his 1st grandson, Gabe. I was 16 yrs old when Gabe took me to the Valley to meet Grandpa Utah and Thelma. That was 31 yrs ago. He loved me like one of his own. Our daughter, Gabrielle, is his 1st great-granddaughter. Our son, Utah, is his namesake. His second grandson is also a namesake, Utah “Jake” and Jake’s son. Utah “Hayden.” What a legacy he left! May God bless his sweet soul and comfort all those who love him.

When I first met Utah and Thelma I thought what a wonderful couple. Utah the epitamy of a Southern gentleman and Thelma so much energy and hard working raising a beautiful family. Love Lovel and Avis Ann

I remember meeting Utah and his wife when I was a little girl. They would square dance with my grandparents. Always so kind. Sending love and strength during this difficult time. Kerry Porter Lott and Janet Porter

Dickerson Family - I am so sorry to hear about Utah passing away. My mother (Yuval King) and I stayed in touch with him all these years. He was always so kind to talk with and tell us about how the "King Family Home Place" was doing. He bought the King farm and orchards there on Mile 9 in 1960 from my grandmother Tessie Ann King. I thought it was wonderful when he and Myra came to my mother's funeral there in Weslaco in October 2011. It meant so much to me that day. He was an amazing gentleman. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Much love,
Nancy Yuval Clayton (daughter of Yuval King Clayton) and granddaughter of O.B. and Tessie Ann King, pioneers of Weslaco.
