Born Jan. 22, 1974, in Provo, Utah, Dan was the eldest son of William Russel and Elizabeth Bott Price. >From the moment of birth, life was filled with challenges for Dan, but with a strong will and determination, he met and even exceeded obstacles. He had a lifelong struggle with sensory losses. It was a struggle for Dan to learn to communicate. He finally achieved the ability to converse with others through tactile signing. As a boy, Dan developed into a good swimmer. Throughout his life, he loved to ride his bike and go for walks. One of his greatest pleasures was an intense love for good music, particularly the classics. He memorized many of the classics from beginning to end and delighted in going to concerts. Dan's favorite holiday was the Fourth of July. For him, it was as big as Christmas. He particularly loved the fireworks. Dan was outgoing, friendly, perceptive and touched many lives. He had an incredible love for his family and friends, especially his dear mother and four brothers, who were unwavering friends and constant supporters. He was deeply grateful for the many things that others did for him. He loved and appreciated his trainers, family members and friends who helped him achieve goals. Dan spent his childhood and adult years in Hyrum and River Heights, Utah. He attended Mt. Logan Middle School, Logan High School and the Helen Keller National Foundation for Deaf/Blind Youth and Adults in New York State. He graduated from the LDS seminary program on Jan. 27, 2001. Dan also had a small part-time job at Deseret Industries. Dan had an innate love for his Heavenly Father along with the faithfulness to do all he was asked to do. He was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints where he served as a deacon in the Aaronic priesthood. Survivors include his mother of River Heights, and four brothers, William John (Rebecca) Price of West Point, Utah, Christian Bott Price, now serving in the Macelo, Brazil mission, Thomas Eugene Price of North Logan, and Scott Jorgensen Price of River Heights. Also surviving are his grandparents, William and Helen Price of Malad, Idaho, and Eugene and Norma Bott of Brigham City, along with his many aunts, uncles and cousins. In the end, Dan is back with his bosom companion, his father, who preceded him in death.
