D. Kent King, a longtime superintendent who was Missouri's education commissioner for the past eight years, died Jan. 7. He was 65 and had been diagnosed with a brain tumor in October 2006.

Mr. King became the commissioner in September 2000 and was just the fourth person to hold that position since its creation in 1945.
