Richard Andrew Price (ANDY) 46, passed away on Monday, November 14,
2016 at 10:02 AM as he lost his battle with end-stage liver disease. He passed in the
loving arms of his soul-mate, Christy. He lived on Casey’s Ridge and was a longtime
resident of the Huffman-New Caney area. He was an Ironworker by trade and a
member of the Ironworkers Union Local 135. Andy was a quick-witted joker with bright
green eyes and a deep, loud laugh.
Andy was born in Channelview, TX to J.R. and Linda Price on February 2, 1970. He
attended elementary school in Huffman. He then moved to Houston where he attended
C.E. King Middle and High School. Andy left school to join the workforce when he
learned he was to be a father. Three boys soon followed, Zachary, Justin and Chase.
The family was living in New Mexico at that time. He returned to Texas soon afterward.
He worked several welding and odd jobs and time flew by quickly, It was in 2005 that
he started dating Christina Landrum and they became inseparable. This added three
more children to the count, Joe, Martha and Joanna Renae Price. He began school to
become an ironworker and successfully completed it in 2012. He joined the Local 135
and remained there until his death.
He is preceded in death by his beloved father, J.R. Price, his fraternal grandparents,
Prater and Fannie Mae Price and his maternal grandfather, Hugh Jordan. Richard Price
is survived by his mother Linda Hugh Jordan and his maternal grandmother Marie
Peacock, as well as his three brothers, Kyle Matthew, James Ray and Phillip L. Price.
He also leaves behind four children, Zach, Justin, Chase and Joanna Price, as well as
two stepchildren, Joe Hammond and Martha Landrum. He is also survived by one
granddaughter as well as one nephew, numerous nieces, great-nephews, loved ones,
friends and co-workers.
Andy was an intelligent and loving man with a good joke, a warm smile and a cold
beer for everyone he came into contact with. He loved to play the guitar and was a very
talented artist. He was a true inspiration to his family and will be sorely missed and
faithfully mourned forever.
