He was born December 30, 1963, in Blue Island, Illinois, and from an early age Jeff possessed an uncanny aptitude for making friends. Always a “people person”, Jeff truly never met a stranger. His innate abilities to put others at ease and garner their trust served him well throughout his lengthy management career in the food service industry. Jeff spent the last several years at Wilson Auto Group, helping people with anything they needed.
In his free time Jeff could most often be found outdoors. Fishing and hunting were life-long passions, and he loved nothing more than spending time with his son and friends in the woods or on the lake.
He was preceded in death by his father, Larry Price; and father-in-law, Bill Stillwell.
Survivors include his wife of 22 years, Julie Price; son, Josh Price and girlfriend Hannah Phillips; mother, Jerri Price; brothers, Tim Price and wife Sharon, and Shawn Price and wife Kelly; mother-in-law, Susan Stillwell; nieces, Haley Mixon and husband Clifton, Tabitha Braswell and husband John, Ashley Meinert and husband Daniel, and Casey Price; and several great-nephews.
