AUBURN — David Lee Price, 62, of Fryeburg, passed away at the Androscoggin Hospice House in Auburn, on Saturday, Dec. 28, 2019, surrounded by his family following declining health over the past five years.

He was born on July 23, 1957, in Lubec to Leroy and Viola Price.

David graduated from Portland High School in 1976. In 1978, he met Stephanie and married her on July 4, 1981. He worked at Green Thumb Farms before moving on to Bailey Manufacturing for 25 years. He also worked at Saunders Brothers in the early 2000s. He then worked at Clyde Watson Inc., the Fryeburg Fair and Shawnee Peak for many years in off-seasons before he was forced to retire due to his health in 2012.

David was a devoted husband and father who loved spending time with his family. He enjoyed taking his sons hunting, fishing, having bonfires, cookouts and most of all helping anyone he could when he could. We surely miss his smile, laughter, jokes and his endless caring love.

He is survived by his wife of 38 years, Stephanie Price, two sons, Joshua Price and Jonathan Price, all of Fryeburg; three sisters, Linda Nieves of Gorham, Marlene Giles of Gilford and Cathy Berthiaume of Dexter; a brother, Seymour (Lee) Price of Bangor; an uncle; and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.

David was predeceased by his parents, Leroy and Viola Price.

Funeral services were held on Saturday, Jan. 4, 2020, at 1 p.m., at the Fryeburg New Church, 12 Oxford Street, Fryeburg. Visitation was held on Friday evening, Jan. 3, from 6 to 8 p.m., at Wood Funeral Home, 9 Warren Street, Fryeburg. Online condolences may be shared with his family at www.woodfuneralhome.org
