D. McKinley Price

    ORDER REPRINT →

August 22, 2015 12:00 AM

Durwood McKinley Price, 74, well-known Wayne County agri-businessman, passed away unexpectedly on the morning of Wednesday, August 19, 2015.

A native of the Grady’s Crossroads area of Wayne County, it was there that he spent most of his life. He graduated in 1959 from Seven Springs High School and furthered his education at N. C. State University, and was among the first graduating class of State’s Agricultural Institute. He had served in the N. C. National Guard, was a life-long member of the Methodist Church, and recently had been worshipping at Daniels Memorial United Methodist Church in Goldsboro. He was a past member of the board of directors of Tri County Electric Membership Corporation.

McKinley, for many years, operated D. M. Price and Sons, Inc. He enjoyed raising livestock, particularly his cattle, and held vast farming interests in Wayne, Duplin, Lenoir, Sampson, and Greene Counties. A well-respected Wayne County citizen, he was one who gave more than he ever received, was a great friend to all--people, animals, and the world.

Visitation with the Price family will take place at Tyndall Funeral Home in Mount Olive between the hours of 7 and 9 Saturday evening, August 22, and at other times, at the residence in the village of Walnut Creek. Services to celebrate his life will be at the funeral home Sunday, August 23, at 5 p.m., officiated by Pastor Colby Leonard, with interment following at Seven Springs United Methodist Church Cemetery, the “church on the hill.”
