Ronnie Gene Price,73, of Benton, was surrounded by loved ones when he went to be with the Lord on Thursday, August 14, 2025. He was born in Little Rock, AR to Garvin and Faye Matthews Price on November 11, 1951.

Left to cherish his memory is his wife of 29 years, Linda Price, his daughter, Heather (Nelson) Chenault; his sons, Chris (Holly) Price and Russ Price; his step-daughters, Micki (Jackson) Hull and Mandy (Andy) Stricklin; step-son, Chris Chivers; grandchildren, Abby Chenault, Addison Price, Christian Chenault, Madelyn Price, Jordan Price, and Aaron Chenault; his step-grandchildren, Dalli (Sam) West, Caytan Chivers, Cash Stricklin, Hudson Hull, Whitley Stricklin, Baylor Hull, and Steele Stricklin.

He graduated from Oak Grove High School, and went on to graduate from Hendrix College where he excelled in academics and basketball. Shortly after college, he took a job in Engineering with the Arkansas Highway Department, where he spent his career until retirement.

Affectionately known as "Pops" by all of his kids and grandkids, his smile and infectious laughter could light up even the darkest room. He loved his family dearly and never missed an opportunity to see any of the kids sporting events or dance recitals. He was a jokester and always had the best pranks and halloween costumes.

He was passionate about the Razorbacks, fishing, hunting, traveling, gardening, camping, and anything he could do to spend time outdoors. He attended Holland Chapel Baptist Church where he was well loved. He was the best listener, advisor and cheerleader that any of us could have ever dreamed of. He loved us all the same and all of our lives are better because he was in it. He poured his wisdom into each one of us. Our grief is a reflection of his love. We will not mourn like those who have no hope, as we know he is in the Kingdom of Heaven. We won't say goodbye! Just see you later, Love you Pops!
