A landscape architecture graduate from Texas A&M instrumental in the development of a San Antonio-area community died May 31 in his hometown of Seguin.
“Without Don King, I doubt things would have turned out as successfully as they have,” said Bob Herring, the sole surviving major founder of the city of Fair Oaks Ranch, 25 miles northwest of San Antonio. King received his degree in 1952.
Before there was the city of Fair Oaks Ranch, wrote Edmund Tijerina in the San Antonio Express-News, there were actually two incorporated entities, Fair Oaks Ranch North and South.
“Landscape architect Don King served as mayor of the northern municipality and helped it merge into the city it is today,” wrote Tijerina.
The obituary of King is available at www.mysanantonio.com.
