Sherman Price, 81, passed away in his sleep Tuesday evening, December 27th, 2016, at the Ozark Community Hospital in Gravette. A lifelong salesman, developer, contractor, visionary, and entrepreneur, he was born May 11, 1935 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to Annah Ragsdale Price and John Arch Price. He began his career as a successful salesman in Texas, West Virginia, and California. While in California, he became involved in real estate developing, becoming quite successful while earning multiple architectural awards. He later returned to Oklahoma City where he designed and built residential subdivisions. In the 1980's, he relocated to northwest Arkansas and became the owner and proprietor of USAX, a real estate development and rental business in Rogers. Upon his retirement in 2006, he moved to the Bella Vista community, continuing to live with his local family. He worshiped at the Bentonville Church of Christ until Alzheimer's prevented his attendance. He was preceded in death by his parents and one brother, Ralph Wayne Price. Survivors include his sister Annette Bishop and husband Stephen of the Oklahoma City area, three nephews and two nieces. He remained at home with family until his recent hospitalization. Local family members include John and Debbie McGee of the home, Chris and Lora Little of Bella Vista along with their children Ava, Collin, and Henry and Wesley and Bailey McGee of Decatur and their children Josiah, Anna, Noah, Isaiah, Elijah, Silas, Lydia, and Grace.
