DAVIS FAMILY
FUNERAL HOME
DEWEY, WASHINGTON CO, OK
(permission granted)
Johnny Harrell Price Jr., 66, of Copan, died Wednesday in Copan.
Johnny was born the son of Harrell Sr. and Melbalene (Evans) Price on
October 30, 1954, in Holdenville, OK. During his childhood, his family
lived in town but also leased land where Johnny and his brother Robbie
kept their horses and raised cows. Johnny enjoyed playing baseball and
hanging with friends. He graduated from Holdenville High School in 1972
and then attended Okmulgee Tech, completing a degree in drafting, which
brought him to Bartlesville with Phillips. Johnny soon realized he
wanted to pursue a degree in chemical engineering and moved to Norman,
where he attended the University of Oklahoma.
Johnny met Sheila at Phillips through mutual friends. Even though they
were meant for each other, they dated for many years before tying the
love knot on April 25, 1987. The couple made their home in Copan.
After graduating from OU, Johnny worked in law enforcement a short while
before taking a position at the Coffeyville Hazardous Waste incinerator,
until the business shut down. He then landed at Siemens in Bartlesville
for the next 25 years until retiring in 2020.
Johnny’s passions in life revolved around his family, golfing with the
kids, attending all of their sporting events and target shooting.
Together with Sheila they were customizing their 1940 Ford coupe. They
also enjoyed taking cruises to the Caribbean and Mexico with family and
friends. Johnny could be found smoking his “ceegars” as he called them
on the smoking deck. Dear to his heart were his two cats, Stripes and
Star, who miss him dearly. Johnny did nothing for just himself but loved
doing for others.
Johnny is survived by his loving wife of 34 years, Sheila; parents,
Harrell Sr. and Melbalene Price; two children, Taylor Blackburn and
husband Tyler, and Jacob Price and partner Brittany Bodi; grandson,
Zaidin Anderson; brother; Robbie Price and Michelle; cousins, Donna
Leewright and Mike, Ronnie Langdon and Susie and Tootie Langdon; and a
host of other family and friends.
Johnny’s family will receive friends at the Davis Family Funeral Home –
Dewey Chapel, 918-534-3030, 113 S. Osage (Hwy. 75), Dewey, on Sunday,
from 3-5 p.m.

direction of Carter Davis and the Davis Family Funeral Home – Dewey
Chapel.
