J. Price Obituary

Fred Price 1924 ~ 2007 J. Fred Price, age 82, was born May 28, 1924 in Charleston, Utah to H. Fred and Ruby Bagley Price. He passed away, surrounded by his family in Heber City, Utah April 7, 2007. Dad spent his life as a caretaker. He lovingly looked after the needs of his family, his animals, and his land. Through his occupation as a successful dairyman, he was able to combine those things that he loved most as he worked side by side with his children and grandchildren. Dad was a simple man who enjoyed serving others. After serving his country in World War II, he served his church by completing an LDS mission to the New England States. Dad enjoyed the many friendships he made as he served in two bishoprics, on the high council, and on the board and as the president of the Midway Irrigation Company. He magnified whatever church calling he was given, and he spent many hours fulfilling his duties on numerous agriculture boards and committees. In honor of his service and accomplishments, Dad received several recognitions including the Master M-Men Award and the Utah Dairyman's Old Timers Award. Dad will be remembered for his integrity, his wisdom, his sense of humor, and his hearty laugh. We will miss him greatly and look forward to the time when we will see him again. Family members surviving J. Fred include Nadine Giles, his eternal sweetheart of 56 years; his three children, John (Brenda), Laurel (Joe) Rail, and Jay (Becky); 16 grandchildren; and 23 great-grandchildren.

He is preceded in death by his parents; parents-in-law, Henry A. and Flossie Giles; brother, Russell; numerous brothers and sisters-in-law; and one great-granddaughter, Kennedy Jay.
