Terry Scott
Price
September 27, 2024
Terry Scott Price passed away on September 27, 2024, at home with classic rock playing, and "mini jr" and his daughter by his side. Born November 29, 1960, he was a self-described "hillbilly hippie" who embraced simplicity and believed worrying only made things worse. After years of working for others, he founded Middleburg Garage Door as owner/operator, taking pride in his work and never forgetting where a service call took him. Terry rarely met a stranger and saw many he encountered as family, with countless "adopted children" along the way. His late wife Lori may have influenced this, but as he would say, "No need to argue, she's going to do it anyway."
Terry was known for opening his door to anyone in need and ensuring there was always enough to eat. That went for human and animal life alike, especially dogs. Smiley, Goofy and Jewel were three of his best canine friends. His homes in Middleburg, NC, and Cumberland, VA, welcomed visitors for years, filled with laughter and conversation. He was a generous man, non-judgmental, and his acceptance of all left a lasting impact on generations. One of his legacies was a game he created called "That's you for the day," blending sign language, sarcasm and love, which continued to be played by many.
Terry had a passion for "good" music, often sharing the history of the bands he listened to, one of the most memorable being The Eagles. His favorite band was The Grateful Dead and had a soft spot for Jimmy Buffett. In his youth, he was a rebellious free spirit, hitchhiking across the country and collecting stories that defined him. His unconventional lifestyle ultimately took a toll on his health which led to his passing, but he stood by his choices and wasn't shy about it.
Terry is preceded in death by his wife Lori A. Price, parents Betty D. and Clinton E. Price, sister Elaine P. Nuckols (Dale), and brother Phillip E. Price (Diana). He is survived by his daughter Michele Walker (Dean Jenks), grandchildren Joshua Jenks and Lori Cooke "Abby", Justin Jenks, and Jessica Doughty (Aaron) and four great grandchildren, niece Terry Travillian (Billy), nephew Christopher Nuckols (Kim), six great-nieces and nephews, and seven great-great nieces and nephews.
We'll "talk at you later," Terry, but won't be honoring the Willie Nelson song "Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die" – because, well, that's just gross. AMF.
