King, who also served Kanawha County Prosecutor, died December 28.
King had been a circuit judge since 1988. He was Chief Circuit Judge several times, including most of 2020. Before that, he served as a prosecutor from 1973 until he was elected County Prosecutor in 1984.
“Today, Kanawha County has lost one of its best and brightest,” Kanawha County Commission President Kent Carper said. “Judge King served the citizens of Kanawha County for more than 47 years. Through his lifelong dedication to the justice system – both during his time on the bench and as a prosecuting attorney – Charlie King impacted thousands of lives.”
Carper, who also is an attorney, said King was one of his best friends.
