Mark Daniel Price succumbed to brain cancer (Glioblastoma) on July 20, 2025, at his home in Crystal Lake, Illinois with his family by his side.

Mark was born to his parents, Craig and Anita Price, on August 7, 1963, in Billings, Montana. He lived with his parents in Absarokee, MT, then Havre, MT, before settling in Sidney, MT, where Mark graduated from Sidney High School in 1982. Mark attended college at Southern Idaho with a baseball scholarship then finished his business degree at MSU Billings. He then became a successful CPA. He practiced in Minnesota and Illinois.

An outstanding athlete, he played football, basketball, track, baseball and golf. Mark received many awards including 2 holes in 1 at Bull Valley Golf Club and Sidney Country Club.

Raising his daughter, Lauren Elizabeth and son, Ryan Daniel, was Mark's greatest accomplishment. He was very involved in their activities, coaching baseball and softball.

Mark loved his extended family- his cousins called him the “Golden Son” because of the love he received from his grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Mark’s best friend was his brother, Matt. They had a relationship of great brotherly love. Matt was always there and especially supportive of Mark’s cancer fight.

Mark was a member of Lonsdale Methodist Church in Sidney. He was an active member of the church and his faith was very important to him.

After a whirlwind of meeting, working together, dating and falling in love, Mark and Kelly Vito married on October 28. 2023. Kelly sealed her love for Mark by lovingly taking care of him in his journey. Our family is blessed by having Kelly in our lives. Kelly’s children- Christopher Vito, Angela Cox (Evan), Abby Vito, and Ang Johnson fit well into the family. Mark’s longtime friends, Mitch Melby and Brian Paladuchuk also stayed close by his side.
