Donald L. Price

Donald Lee Price died unexpectedly on July 2, 2021, at his home in Cedarburg at the age of 71. He is survived by his wife, LaVon; children, Dawn (Chris), David (DeAnne) and Carrie (Dave); siblings, Peggy (Jim) and Ronald; grandchildren, Nathan, Elizabeth, Luke, Krista, Tanner, Collin, Alex, Katy, Kylee, Myranda, James, Mollie, Evin and Eleanor; and many friends. He was preceded in death by his brothers, Jim and Al; and his parents, Mabel and LaVerne. Don was born on Dec. 24, 1949, in Shawano to Mabel and LaVerne Price. Don graduated from Gresham High School in 1968. Shortly after graduation, he was drafted into the Army in April 1970. Upon a short leave from the Army in August of that year, he married LaVon, whom he had met in Shawano. The couple later moved to Cedarburg, where Don worked successfully as a superintendent at Mared Mechanical Contractors, Winding Roofing, and Stippich. The couple welcomed their first child (Dawn) in 1972. They later welcomed their other two children (David and Carrie) in 1974 and 1976. Don was a very caring, supportive, athletic, and hard working father, who taught his children and grandchildren the value of these skills. He also passed along his passion for fishing, hunting, gardening, carpentry, mechanics, sports, and his overall love for the outdoors, where he spent a lot of time up north in Shawano with his friends and family. Don also loved to ride his motorcycle, work on his truck, and spent countless hours in his yard maintaining an immaculate lawn and landscape. Don was a great husband, father, and grandfather to his many grandchildren, whom they affectionately called “Bapa.” Funeral Services were held on Friday, July 9, 2021, at Trinity Lutheran Church and School at 10729 W.
