Richard Allen Price's Obituary
Richard Allen Price, age 44, of Exline, passed away Monday, September 9, 2024 at his home.
Richard was born on March 10, 1980 in Stillwell, Oklahoma, the son of Carolyn Sanders. Carolyn made the selfless, but very difficult decision to have Ronald and Suzanna Price adopt him after birth. Later in life, Richard was blessed to have three moms looking after him, Suzanna, Carolyn and Eva.
Richard worked as an over-the-road truck driver throughout his life. In his free time, he was a specialist arborist which is a professional who studies, manages, and cares for trees, shrubs, vines, and other woody plants. Richard was a handyman for many things. He enjoyed trimming trees and iron work/blacksmithing. He also enjoyed time on the water, whether it was a lake or a river, driving his convertible, "Trouble" and riding motorcycles. Most importantly, Richard cherished his most precious time spent with his two children, Damon and Jasmine.
Left to honor Richard's memory are his children, Damon Price and Jasmine Price; his father, Ronald Price; his mothers, Suzanna Price, Carolyn Sanders and Eva Poindexter; his siblings, Sylvia Price, Brandi Bailey, Brandy Roberts, Teddy Roberts, Emma Poindexter and David Boswell; his best friends, Greg and Sara Fry; as well as numerous extended family and friends.
Per wishes, cremation will take place, and no services will be held at this time. Memorials may be made to Brandi Bailey, to be determined at a later date, and may be mailed to Thomas Funeral Home, ATTN: Price Family, 501 North 18th Street, Centerville, Iowa 52544.
