Daniel King was a visionary civil engineer, entrepreneur, and devoted family man whose unwavering
dedication to his profession and loved ones left an indelible mark on all who knew him. After earning his degree in civil engineering from Oregon Tech, Daniel embarked on his career with a commitment to excellence that would define his legacy. Shortly after graduating, he moved to Nampa, Idaho where he met his wife Karie. The two were a perfect match and got married in 2005. Together, they built a life centered around their family, raising two sons, Zachary and Jacob.
Daniel’s entrepreneurial spirit came to life when he began working at MTI, a local material testing

His leadership and expertise were instrumental in growing the Idaho Falls branch into a respected industry leader, and his exceptional business acumen led him to become part owner of the company. His ability to forge meaningful relationships, drive business growth, and cultivate a culture of excellence earned him the trust of colleagues and clients alike.
Beyond his professional achievements, Daniel was defined by his compassion for others, his
integrity, and his unwavering devotion to his family. Those who knew him admired his ability to uplift and inspire, always offering guidance and support to those around him. His resilience was profoundly demonstrated when he faced a rare cancer diagnosis in 2021. Despite the challenges, he fought courageously for three years, passing away on his 55th birthday.
