Rory Price Obituary
Rory PRICE The life of Rory Dardin Price came to a tragic end on Friday, March 31st in an accident at Evergreen Speedway. Rory was known for his passion and enthusiasm for everything in his life; from racing and the Sonics to his job, but most importantly for his family and his friends. He touched everyone he met, and no one will forget his sense of humor, his silly nicknames, or his colorful shirts. He was a warm and loving husband, father, son, brother and friend. He leaves behind his wife, Kerry, one year old daughter, Taylor, parents, Dard and Terry Price of Blaine, WA; sister and brother-in-law, Cindy and Emilio Fabico of Orlando, FL; nephews, Evan and Garrett Fabico, and grandmother, Helen Parsons of Mountlake Terrace. In addition, Rory had an incredible group of friends and in-laws who share in this loss. Rory was preceded in death by his brother, Joel Adam Price. A Memorial Service will be held on Sunday, April 9, 2:00 p.m. at Saint Andrew's Lutheran Church, 2650 148th Ave SE, Bellevue, WA. A fund has been established at Washington Mutual Bank for the care of his daughter. Donations may be made at any branch to the "Family of Rory Price."To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Kerry & Taylor,
Chad and I will forever remember Rory as someone who brought life, light and laughter into any room he entered. By the many stories that have been shared and those who remember him, it is obvious what a special man he was and how many lives his touched and made wonderful. May these qualities continue to touch all of our lives through remembrance of him. Living each day to the fullest and sharing our love with everyone we meet are some of the gifts he left behind:-) We love you so much and continue to pray for God's grace and comfort for you and Taylor.

Kerri and Taylor,
I was so lucky to have meet Rory and babysit for Taylor. In the few times that I spoke with Rory it was clear that he was a loving and adoring husband and father. My thoughts are with you both. He will live forever in your memories and Taylor will know how much her daddy loved her.

I have known Rory for a log time, we grew up together delivering news papers and racing bmx bikes. His smile and talent where aparent then. We would see each other now and then at the race trac and he never forgot his old friends. He is racing with all the great drivers now and we can only hope we will join him some day. Our thoughts and praqyers are with his family and friends!!!

To Rory's family, Sharon and I just want to express our deep sympathy to you and let you know that you have been in our thoughts and prayers. Rory was an employee at our company in the early 90's. As you might imagine we were sorry to see him move on, but not just because we were losing a great employee, but also because his personality and humor could not be replaced. He will always hold a special place in our memory.
I cannot think of Rory without remembering his unsinkable enthusiasm for every facet of living. I have resolved to try to be more like him in that way from now on.
May the God of all Comfort be with you today and always.
Russ and Sharon Roberts

I didn't know Rory but both of my brothers, Mike & Pat , have been sharing stories about Rory and saying what a great guy he was. I am so sad for your loss and I wish for you all strength and peace at this difficult time.

Our deepest sympathy to all of Rory's family at this difficult time. He was an all-around great guy and will sorely be missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him.
My wife and I were in a state of shock to hear the news and still can't believe it. I have known RP since '92 when he and I worked together. Even after we both moved on, we always kept in touch, not a lot, but enough to always know what the other was doing and it always felt like it was no more than a matter of weeks, even if it was many months or even a year. I would always throw work at whatever sign company he landed at because I trusted him and he was always so pleasant and fun to be around. I was fortunate enough to see him about a month ago and engage in our usual banter of nickname calling and general Tom-foolery.
He will not be forgotten.

Kerry & Taylor,
My prayers are with you and your family's. I went to school with Rory and knew him as a fun loving guy with a smile and joke and never a bad thing to say about anybody. We are all better people to have known him.

I would go months at a time without seeing Rory, yet when we met up he would make it seem as if we had been hanging just yesterday. I look forward to that next meeting! God speed my friend.

There are smiles which cannot be contained by the face's limiting vessel.
They explode exhiliratingly
Beyond the body's boundaries
And dare us to resist.
There is Humor
Which signals its eruption
With teasing,sparkling eyes
And we willingly succumb
To laughter's abandon
There are Lives
That enter ours, not quietly
But spectacularly
With a super-nova's energy
And we wonder,how did we live
Prior to such Brilliance?
Son, Brother,Friend, Husband, Father
Life Force....
Thy Name is Rory.
Thank you for bursting upon
Our lives.

I am so sorry for your loss. I've known Rory since we were very young. I've known him as 'Cindy's little brother', as well as a man in love with his new wife, my company's 'sign guy', an eager-to-be dad, and then a proud dad who sent his daughter's photo to me via email. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. I will miss him, too.
