He was so handsome; just like his father!❤ This is such heartbreaking news💔, but as Al Sharpton said he was, “heartbroken to hear that Dexter King left us this morning, but I was comforted by the knowledge he is reunited with his parents and sister.”💖💖 I was overcome with emotion😢, but when when I read that it was comforting to me, and the fact that he is no longer suffering!👍🥰

May God surround the King family with his loving arms of solace as they begin to mourn the passing of the son of a revered and BELOVED civil rights ICON.❤❤🙏🙏

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

Another sad death and far too young.

May he join his father Martin and his mother Coretta in everlasting peace.

I never really noticed how much he looked like his father. He is now at peace. He came from a family of dedicated people who worked hard for truth and justice. May the legacy of the King family continue. RIP.
