Dear brothers sisters and friends,
On December 24th at 10:30 am Michael A. Price of Huntington, New York took his last breath at age 60 and went home to be with the Lord. Born September 24th 1958 to Charles and Margaret Price. Beloved brother to Neil, Charles, Ann, Meg, Donna and Mary. An amazing husband to Elizabeth and loving father to Justin and Alicia.
Michael was a Master Carpenter by trade but more importantly a servant to the Lord in any way he could or was asked. No task was to small or big; cleaning the church, missionary work in third world countries, mentoring many generations of teens and to leading the people of God as a Pastor for many years.
Michael loved fiercely and put the safety and well being of others before himself, no matter the cost to him physically, mentally or socially. He knew God always had his back and knew his heart. God is love and Michael was a true vessel of Gods unconditional love and protection. A void will be felt by all who had the great fortune of meeting him and becoming part of hs life.
If nothing else is to be remebered about this great man let it be that his heart was fully the Lords, as you can tell by the life he lead and the children he raised. Micheal wanted all to know the good news that Jesus died for our sins, that we might live a life worth living and have eternal life if we believe. Through Michael's long fight he never lost faith even after all the trials and hardships thrown at him and his family. Michael always said it made his faith stronger because he could do nothing else but just trust God and that God gave him such a supernatural peace through it all. His trials were rough but they were also such a beautiful, unbelievable testimony to everyone he was able to share it with.
Heaven did not gain another angel but rather it gained a mighty warrior!
I have the great honor and privilege to be able to call Michael my father. He requested that we not mourn him but rejoice in the life he lived and that he is no longer in pain. That he is with the Lord Jesus Christ and all that believe that Jesus' sacrifice on the cross for our sins is the only way we get into heaven and accept him as their Lord and Saviour, he looks forward to seeing you again like the Bible has promised us.
I look forward to the day i get to see those big beautiful Irish eyes again and that smile to match greeting me at those pearly gates. Love ya Pappa Bear
Funeral will be held on Thursday December 27th from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 at Connell funeral home located at 934 New York Ave, Huntington Station NY 11746
