Morris Alan Price

Morris Alan Price, 67, of Cumby, passed away on December 5, 2025 in Dallas, Texas. A memorial service will be held at 11:00 A.M., Saturday, December 20, 2025 at Coker-Mathews Funeral Home Chapel with Rev. Norman Carson officiating. Visitation will be from 10:00 A.M. until service time.

Morris was born in Dallas, Texas on September 9, 1958 to William Coleman Price and Kathryn Adell Powell. He married the love of his life, the former Lou Ann Higginbotham, on December 18, 2016 in Cumby, Texas at the Billboard House.

Aside from being a star athlete in his younger years, Morris was an institution in the DFW music scene. He was known to be a tireless worker and a problem-solver, all the while with a smile on his face and a kind word to share. He was a mentor to so many folks in the industry, and made an indelible mark on countless lives. He was one of the best front men to ever command a stage, with his bands ''Ouch'' and ''The Morris Price Band.'' To quote more than one of his followers, he was a ''force to be reckoned with."

Morris put his belief and hope in Jesus Christ, and was happy to share his testimony. He would pray with and for people he didn't even know. He had a way of gravitating toward those who needed a kind word and a sense of hope. He was a humble servant.

Now, to steal a few lines from the TV show, The Office, this sums up Morris pretty well:

The dictionary defines superlative as ''of the highest kind, quality or order, surpassing all else or others, supreme.'' I define it as Morris Price. As a husband, father, brother, grandpa, uncle, coworker, band mate, leader, and as a man and as a friend, he was of the highest kind, quality and order, supreme.

He is survived by his wife, Lou Ann Price; children Cole Price and Chance Price; Shannon Oswalt and husband, Mike; Zach Emmons and wife, Taylor and Karli Roberts and husband, Seth; brother, Dennis Price and wife, Nancy, along with a multitude of family members and cherished friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, brother, Danny Price, and sister, Kimberly McGee.
