Noah Alexander King, age 12, was born on June 3, 2013, and raised with love by his mother Dominique Danielak Bennett and stepfather Peter Bennett, father Billy W. King III and stepmother Olesya Grishchuk.

It is difficult to describe our son in just a few words. He was the world’s busiest toddler, a climber, an escape artist, and more than willing to join adult discussions and share his extensive real and imaginary knowledge; both delivered with great conviction. Noah was an instinctive learner who soaked up new information like a sponge. No matter what the topic, his questions were intentional and thoughtful. He absolutely loved adventure and new experiences, and we were blessed to share many, many with him. He loved gaming and made friends as far away as Australia. Noah started fishing at a young age, was quite successful, and always wanted to have a pole with him. He was a proud member of the Royal Spring Middle School football and wrestling teams this year.

Above all else, Noah had an incredibly sensitive and kind heart. If something was in trouble, he wanted to fix it. Bugs, dragonflies, pets, friends, and adults who were ill or sad; he wanted to help all of them. He loved deeply and well in a way that cannot ever be replaced. He blessed us in ways that can never be taken from us.

In addition to his parents, Noah is survived by his grandparents Susan and Zig Danielak, Sheila and John Bottom, Anne and Ron Bennett, Yelena and Andrey Grishchuk, his dogs Rollo, Enzo, and Zeke, as well as many aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandfather Billy King Jr, and uncle Jack Lynn.

Calling hours will be held at Clark Legacy Funeral Home, 601 E Brannon Rd. Lexington, KY from 4:00PM to 7:00PM on Wednesday the 17th of December. Our family has planned a private funeral and burial service the following day.

We are humbled and grateful for the many people who have cared for us in so many ways.

In lieu of flowers we invite you to bless a charity of your choice in memory of our son.
