Melvin was a one of a kind man, that never met a stranger. He would’ve given the shirt off his back to anyone at the drop of a hat. You never seen this man out and about without a smile on his face. He was loved by his family tremendously, and many others who became like family. Melvin LOVED playing pool with his friends and was an honored member of a pool league for many years where he brought home multiple championships. Of all the great things he has seen and done in his life, his biggest accomplishment was that he was the epitome of a “family” man, his family was the apple of his eye, and he would never hesitate to let anyone know that. Melvin was a husband and a father who loved with all he had and his family felt that love through his sacrifices he willingyly made for them daily, at the end of the day he went to bed feeling blessed knowing that he did all he could to provide, love, nourish, and guide his family. He was a man of many talents, but his most precious talent by far was the ability to love his people unconditionally. Melvin never missed a chance to be there for his wife/kids/grandkids through any endeavour they chose in life, cheering them on and being their biggest supporter. His favorite thing to do was watch his son, Jeremy Price race at the Huntsville Speedway, or spending time with any of his grandbabies. Melvin was the best paw paw to his grandchildren, and they all adored him and felt that same unconditional love that he gave his wife and children over the years. Melvin will be missed by many, no doubt, but he will leave behind such a huge legacy of love. His heart was gold, and his family will rest in comfort knowing that their “big guy” is no longer suffering, and he is rejoicing with Jesus and watching over them proudly.
