Terrell Whiteman King III, a former Denton city council member and partner in local insurance agency Ramey & King for nearly 30 years, passed away at 83 Thursday from cancer complications.

He attended North Texas State College, now the University of North Texas, but never finished a degree â though that didnât stop him from becoming a business partner in local insurance agency Ramey & White in 1962.

The firm changed its name two years later to Ramey & King Insurance, its current name, and King himself was involved in the business until he retired in the early â90s. Years before his retirement, he brought his twin sons James and Jeff into the business, which is now owned entirely by the King family.
