Robert Wayne Price

Robert (Bob) Wayne Price, 78, of Longmont, Colorado, went to be with the Lord on February 27, 2026. Born January 16, 1948, in Mesa, Arizona, Bob was a faithful, brave, and hard-working man whose life reflected steady devotion to family, service, and community.

Bob was the son of Sterling Price and Merlene Holley. At age nine, he moved to Colbran, CO to the cattle ranch, an experience that helped shape his enduring work ethic and grounded character. He graduated from Central High School in Grand Junction, CO in 1966, earned an associate’s degree from Mesa Jr College, and later completed his bachelor’s degree at the University of Northern Colorado, in Greeley, CO.

In 1969, Bob joined the United States Navy and turned 21 while in boot camp. He served four years and was discharged on July 12, 1973. His duties included serving as a hospital corpsman and pharmacy tech. He worked at Balboa Navy Hospital in San Diego and served 1 year aboard the USS Iwo Jima (LPH2). After his military service, Bob built a long and respected career at IBM, where he worked from 1977 to 2013 as a systems programmer.

Bob married Patricia Sorensen in 1974, together they had 1 child, Jennifer in 1978. They later divorced in 1982.

Bob married Linda Hollis in May 1998. They first met in 1985 at First Christian Church during a Bible study, and their shared faith remained a meaningful foundation in their life together. Bob is survived by his wife, Linda; daughter Jennifer; step-daughter Lisa; son-in-law Aron; grandson Kentlee (Carolyn); grandson Seth; sister-in-law Nell Marie; siblings Radonna (William) Bondurant, Jerry (Jeanine)Price, Beth (John) Price, Randy (Phyllis) Price, Bonnie (Brett) McFarland; and many nephews and nieces.

Bob found joy in simple, steady pursuits and the people he loved most. He enjoyed leather work, reading western novels, and watching western movies. He especially valued travel—particularly road trips—along with target practice, leading small group Bible studies, and the fellowship that came with them. He also loved horses and 4H and was happy to volunteer at the National Western Stock Show. Above all, Bob cherished spending time with his grandkids and sharing in Bible study fellowship.

Memorial service will take place at Grace Evangelical Free Church 2415 Lake Park Drive, Longmont, CO. Monday March 16th at 10:00 am.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Bob’s name to Grace Evangelical Free Church, Longmont or Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
