He was born at home in Union, Utah to Angus Byard Price and Lucy Ellen Williams Price on August 15, 1923.
He was the ninth of ten children in the Price family. He spent his youth working on the family farm of twenty acres his parents had purchased in 1919 in what is now Cottonwood Heights, Utah.
In 1944, he enlisted in the Army Air Corps. Before being sent overseas, he married Margaret Duncan in the Salt Lake Temple on June 21, 1944. He spent the duration of World War II stationed in Italy as the tail gunner on a B-24 bomber, having completed thirty-five bombing missions. He was very proud of being a veteran and of having given service to his country.
After returning home from the war, he enrolled at the University of Utah earning a degree in education. After graduation, he was employed with the Granite School District as a sixth grade teacher. He later became principal in charge of three elementary schools, Redwood, Woodrow Wilson, and Howard Driggs.
He was an active member of the LDS Church and served as a Ward and Stake Clerk, Bishopric Counselor, High Councilor, and as an ordinance worker at the Jordan River Temple.
