Thomas M. Price

October 8, 1948 – November 1, 2020

Age 72

Thomas Michael Price was born October 8, 1948, to Benjamin Sr. and Ruth Price in Wiesbaden, Germany. With his Dad being a prominent figure in the Air Force, the family traveled and lived in many unique places, and Tom was raised alongside his older sister, Barbara, and younger brother, Benjamin Jr.

Tom graduated from high school in Africa and went on to enlist in the Air Force in 1968, where his lifelong passion for teaching began. He served in the military for nearly eight years, and it was during this time that he would meet the love of his life, Mary June, who would become his wife and partner in life for 50 years.

Tom and Mary spent time living in Iceland, where they made many memories, enjoying their youth and living life to the fullest before having their three daughters, Melissa, Suzanne and Shelley. The family moved and settled in Bellevue where Tom’s parents and brother also lived.

Tom was known for his vast knowledge of EVERYTHING. He was a brilliant jack of all trades, could fix anything and enjoyed spending time on his favorite hobbies, which included building guitars, camping, playing and listening to music, just to name a few. Tom was an amazing auto body technician and mechanic, and taught these skills to countless students at the local community college. He loved to spend time with Mary, his family and his eight grandchildren: Jared, Arianna, Rebekah, Caleb, Aidan, Blake, Nole, and Ella.

Tom died peacefully at his home on November 1, surrounded by his beloved family. He is preceded in death by his parents and is survived by his wife Mary; daughters Melissa (Jason), Suzanne (Ron), and Shelley (Scott); sister Barbara (Jerry); brother Ben Jr. (Lonnie); grandchildren Jared, Arianna, Rebekah, Caleb, Aidan, Blake, Nole, and Ella; and many family members and friends.
