Richard Douglas Price, age 86, of Woodland Hills, Utah, passed away peacefully at his home on Friday, July 11, 2025.
Richard was born on October 10, 1938, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Douglas and Vera Price. He was the second of six children in a close-knit family. In 1957, he married Janice Fletcher, and together they had five children: David, Susie, Tim, Jon, and Danny. Though they later divorced in 1985, they shared many years of family life. In 1989, Richard married Cindy Marriott, who brought four children into the family: Cynthia, Michael, Jennifer, and Rebecca.
Richard had a passion for baseball and excelled at the sport from a young age. After graduating from high school, he attended LDS Business College. He also served in the Utah Air National Guard as a reservist for four years followed by two more years in the U.S. Air Force Reserve, demonstrating his commitment to service and country.
A devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Richard found great joy in serving others. He especially cherished temple service alongside his beloved wife Cindy, and found fulfillment in his work as a Church Service Missionary in Springville, where he helped many find employment and renewed purpose.
Richard is survived by his children David Price and Susie Price, his daughter-in-law Kelly (Richard) Scott, his siblings Cal (Linda) Price, Connie (Rodger) Fry, and Sandy Knight. He leaves behind a legacy of love through his 47 grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Douglas and Vera Price; his first wife, Janice Fletcher; his second wife, Cindy Marriott Price; his children Jon and Danny; his stepdaughter Jennifer; and his sisters Jeri and Jo Ann.
