Ronnie Wayne King

Ronnie Wayne King was born in Sweetwater, Tx. On January 7, 1948, to Ruth and Howard King. It was so cold that day that all the pipes in his parents’ home froze.

In 1959 he moved with his family to San Angelo where his father and uncle opened King Bros. Chevron on the corner of Bell and Pulliam.

Ronnie met his future wife, Janet Richmond when they were teenagers making the drag on Beauregard. In 1966, they married, then moved to Texas City in 1967. In 1969 their son Kevin, his dad’s pride and Joy, was born.

Ronnie worked in service stations and truck driving until 1973 when he went to work for Arco Chemical Company in Bayport, Tx. In 1985 he transferred to Arco Alaska for 9 years. He eventually moved back to San Angelo to be around his family.
