It is with a heavy heart that we have to say, we have lost own original Christmas man! Richard King! He has unfortunately been called home. We are planning to make this year the best it has ever been to honor his memory! He was the glue to our family and it has made us all realize just how short life really is. Please remember to hold your loved ones close and love them a little extra! “Dark thirty” (as the old man would say) on Thanksgiving day (6:30ish 11/26/2026), we will be turning on our lights with the best show ever! Please feel free to come by and see all the lights that this man hand designed and worked tireless hours to perfect! Come celebrate and share your support for the Kingaroza Annual Christmas Light Show by giving a honk for Richard as we share his memories this year! If anyone would like to make a donation, we will have a bin this year to accept any and all donations for an undetermined charity of the family choice (yet to be determined). We have been so grateful to this community and everything that you have all given over the years. And please keep our family in your prayers as we navigate throughout what is undoubtedly the most roughest time in our lives! Thank you for everything more news to come.
