Words from a loving friend to remain anonymous

Ian Price. An incredibly popular and well liked resident of Stonnall.

A loving husband, doting father, son, brother and friend to all who knew him.

Ian was a prominent and successful business owner, travelling the length and breadth of the country providing his professional services to many other businesses and clients alike.

Ian would often post on social media, images of his travels and meetings, many taken in scenic and beautiful surroundings. Ian was also a very early riser. His early morning walks around Stonnall were a huge part of his relaxation routine, where he would walk his two dogs along the many country footpaths surrounding our village, then later posting his rural adventures on Facebook whilst many of us were still in bed.

Ian was an avid Aston Villa fan, enjoying both the beautiful game and also the banter that ensued.

Darnford Moors Golf Club in Lichfield was certainly his go to course for a round of golf when Ian had free time to play. He maintained a steady round of golf and was great company around the course.

Yet it is of no surprise to all who knew Ian that his first love was his family. He was devoted to wife, and his two wonderful children.

He would often talk of their achievements and how incredibly proud he was of them.

A pillar of the community, Ian will be sadly missed by all who knew him. He would have done anything for anyone, he was a patriot, a gentleman, a tradesman and a scholar.

Godspeed our wonderful friend 🙏
