Doile Alton King, age 98, of Lilburn, GA passed away on Monday, January 17, 2022.

Doile is survived by his wife, Liberty, his children, Al (& Joyce) Kendall, Dawn King, Iris (& Barry) Ray, Joyce (& Brian) Little, and Jimmy (& Rosa) King. Ten grandchildren and fifteen great-grandchildren, five nephews and one niece also survive.

Doile was a member of Life Church International, formerly known as Pleasantdale Church of God and Doraville Church of God before that. He was a missionary for the Church of God to the Island of Utila in the Bay Islands of Honduras from 1958 to 1961. There he met his wife, Libby. He built the Church of God on the Utila Cays and pastored the church on the main island. Many ministries were birthed out of his time as a missionary. He also taught at and was the principal of the private Church of God school in Utila.

After moving back to the United States, Doile worked full-time for Southern Railway until his early 60’s. He also had a prison ministry that was his passion for 66 years. He didn’t give that up until he was 92 years old.

  1. I don’t know if everyone can see this, but they forgot to enter the last paragraph on Daddy’s obituary. (It can’t get corrected until Monday.) It says that donations are requested in lieu of flowers, to be sent to the pastor who pastors the same small church that Doile built when he was a missionary to Honduras. Please send contributions to Attn: Joyce Williams, Church Of God State Office, 962 Parkside Walk Lane, Lawrenceville, Georgia 30043. Please put on the memo line that it is in memory of Rev. Doile A. King.

  2. CandleImageBrother Doile was one of my very special personal friends as well as a friend in ministry; he led several revivals where we pastored. I knew his beautiful Mother and several of his siblings. I followed his ministry over the many years; he had a special sermon delivery coupled with a special anointing of solo singing; his sermons imprinted my soul and are in my memory bank. I am unable to attend his celebration but our love is extended to Libby and this entire colony of believers.

    • CandleImageHe was very steadfast and unshakeable man of God. He spoke of God as if he knew him and he was not just repeating what someone told him. He truly knew who and what he was talking about. He was a great exhorter. One of I remember him singing at one of his daughters weddings and he did a terrific job. Rest In Peace my brother, by God’s grace, I will see you in heaven. To the family, I will be praying for you, and hold on to God’s unchanging hand!

  3. CandleImageI’m so sorry for your loss. I pray that you and your family get through this difficult time, through prayers and comfort of the Lord Jesus Christ, family, and friends.

  4. Doile was a great servant of God. We ministered together for manny years at the federal prison in Atlanta. We watched as many lives were changed. Doile’s music ministry blessed me as he sang and I followed with my preaching. He is happy and rejoicing right now in heaven
