Brawley Mitchell King
Brawley Mitchell King joined his wife in heaven April 19, 2012. Graveside service with military honors will be 10 a.m. Tuesday, April 24, at College Station Cemetery.
Born June 6, 1916, in Pecos, Texas, he was the oldest son of James Irvin King and Ludie Walden. His loving wife, Anna Frances King, preceded him in death Oct. 31, 2004. They were married Feb. 13, 1943, in Macomb, Miss.
After graduation from Pecos High School, Brawley attended Tarleton College and Texas A&M University in the department of architecture. He was a member of the class of 1942. He proudly served his country as a Captain in the United States Army during WWII in the European Theater.
He was an instructor in the College of Architecture at Texas A&M before he moved from Bryan to Houston with CRS. He was an Associate Partner with Caudill, Rowlett, Scott, specializing in the application of current materials, construction technology, and the development of plans and specifications. During his career as an architect, he was a member of CSI (Construction Specifications Institute) and served on the board and as president of the Houston chapter. He was a Corporate Member of the American Institute of Architects.
Brawley was a member of the First Presbyterian Church in Bryan and Spring Branch Presbyterian Church in Houston. He enjoyed teaching Sunday school, singing in the choir, and reading the Bible. He served on the Board of Elders.
Of the many things Brawley enjoyed, the most special were flying his Cessna, helping with homework, reading and conversation, spending time with his grandchildren, and eating pineapple cream pie. He will be missed by his family and those whom he befriended.
He was also preceded in death by his brother, Thomas James King.
He is survived by his sister, Lela King Carter of Denton; sister-in-law, Nell Bowden King of San Antonio; his two daughters and sons-in-law, Kathy and Byron Chandler of Waco, and Carolyn and Ronald Davey of McAllen; his grandchildren, Steven Davey and wife, Frencesca, of Moody, Ala., Kristina Lopez of McAllen, Ursula Woessner and Brin Chandler, both of Waco.
