Joseph Cameron Price
May 3, 1982 - July 21, 2025
Cherished Son, Devoted Father, Magnetic Friend, and the Life of Every Room
Joseph Cameron Price left this world too soon at the age of 43—and if you knew him, you probably just smiled a little, because of course he’d make a dramatic exit. He never did anything halfway. Joseph was all in. All heart. All humor. All love.
Joseph lit up every room with his quick wit, dynamic brilliance, and a heart as big as his presence. He was a self-taught artist and musician, endlessly creative and impossibly charming. If you knew him, you felt seen—and probably laughed until you cried.
His children were his heart and his proudest legacy. His greatest joy was being a father. During their time together, he gave his full heart and energy—cooking, dancing, singing, making art, and being the kind of dad they’ll never forget. Joseph’s wild intelligence, humor, creativity, and vivid spirit live on in his three beautiful children.
He leaves behind his parents, Eva Allen-Cottrell (Wes) and Joseph B. Price (Kathy); his children, Brookelyn (20), Ayla (17), and Taj (14); his brother, Payton Price; the mother of his children, Brittney Price; his big, beautiful extended family; and more friends than most of us could dream of.
We will miss his voice, his infamous dance moves, and the way he made every person in the room feel like they truly mattered. Joseph loved big. He lived out loud. There truly wasn’t a person who crossed his path that didn’t love him. And he left a mark that time can’t touch.
In lieu of flowers, do something Joseph would’ve done: blast your favorite song, paint something bold, tell someone you love them, or wear something totally extra—just because.
A celebration of life will be held on Monday, August 4, 2025, from 6:00–8:00 p.m. at Starks Funeral Parlor, 3651 S 900 E, SLC, where stories, laughter, and self-expression are not just welcome—they’re required.
In Loving Memory

I knew Joe for just 2 months earlier this year. He had a way to make an entire room laugh. Witty, smart guy who was full of life. May he rest in peace.

I’ll always remember boating at Powell, him letting me use his PlayStation to play Call of Duty for the first time, and Joe teaching me how to skateboard. It was such a gift growing up with him in my life, and getting to watch Brit and his beautiful babies grow into such amazing humans. I'm sending all my love to you guys, and I’ll be there in spirit celebrating his life with you.

My condolences to everyone he left behind. I met Joe in high school and he absolutely was the life of the party. Skateboarding and freestyle rapping! I’ll never forget him. Even the Honda Civic days. He is and was loved by many. Rest In Peace my friend

Joe truly lit up every room with his charm, humor, and love. I had the privilege of seeing Joe nearly everyday for these last two months. His love for and knowledge of music and the arts was vast and impressive. We bonded over music and the joys of fatherhood. It only took a simple look from Joe to know he was thinking the same thing or “in on the joke”. There were always plenty of jokes. Most impressive though was seeing the light and love in Joe. He always, always made sure to show love when any of us walked in the room. Rest in power, my brother. We’ll keep it funky from here. •••BC•••

To Joe’s Family, I want to offer my deepest condolences to you all. I was lucky to know Joe for most of my life—we met when we were just kids in junior high choir class, and from that moment on, our friendship grew around a shared love of music and creativity. Back then, a few of us imagined starting a band. Joe and I started spending more and more time together, talking about the music we loved and making our own songs in any way we could. We were just figuring it out, having fun, and learning as we went. I still have some of those early recordings, and while they’re rough around the edges, they capture a special time in our lives. Joe had a creative spark that was all his own. He was bold, confident, and determined to stand out. That was part of the fun: creating characters, pushing boundaries, and making each other laugh. Beneath that persona, though, was the real Joe—kind-hearted, genuine, and someone who just understood you without needing many words. Even as life took us in different directions, reconnecting with Joe always felt natural. He was one of those rare people you could lose touch with for a while, then pick right back up like no time had passed. I’m heartbroken that we won’t get any more of those moments together. I’ll miss the music, the long talks, the creative chaos, and the friendship we shared. But I’m grateful for the time we did have and the memories we made. My heart is with all of you during this difficult time. I hope you find comfort in knowing how deeply Joe was loved and remembered by those whose lives he touched. He was one of my oldest friends, and I’ll never forget him. With love and sympathy, Kiki

As tough as this news may pull & tug at your heart and soul, especially family that is closest & most dear to Joe .. It can be incredibly hard on this side of things but to me it’s kind of backwards .. The real celebration should be as our loved ones pass on to the next spirit world. Regardless of the circumstances .. I just feel I should share what I’ve felt when loved ones pass on. They are all around us, if you feel like talking with them, speak & you will feel their presence. JCP is a soul that is larger than life & will live on, not only in the good times we had together but as the soul he is further & forever more .. ✌️💡💚

You are a friend I will never forget. Although we went different ways post high school, Joe was always there for me during those years and I thank him for his support. He would show up when I needed him wasn’t judgmental and loved to laugh. You will be missed friend.

Dear“Eva-Bird” ~ It’s been many years since Jordan Jr High, and crazy memories sharing laughs with Veronica, going to Denver, Vegas & Wendover together. I can remember Joseph as a young child, his beautiful brown eyes, smile and the amazing loving bond you shared with him. I can’t even begin to imagine the heartbreaking pain from losing your precious son. My deepest sympathies and prayers to you, Joey, his wife, children and family. May you find comfort in Gods Word, found at Revelation 21:4; 4 “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore….” Much love, Betty Ann McKendrick

I didn’t know Joe, but I know and love the people who loved him and how well they speak of him. May you feel him near. May you feel his influence and love. “Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die.” WRITTEN BY MARY ELIZABETH FRYE “You want a physicist to speak at your funeral. You want the physicist to talk to your grieving family about the conservation of energy, so they will understand that your energy has not died. You want the physicist to remind your sobbing mother about the first law of thermodynamics; that no energy gets created in the universe, and none is destroyed. You want your mother to know that all your energy, every vibration, every Btu of heat, every wave of every particle that was her beloved child remains with her in this world. You want the physicist to tell your weeping father that amid energies of the cosmos, you gave as good as you got. And at one point you’d hope that the physicist would step down from the pulpit and walk to your brokenhearted spouse there in the pew and tell him that all the photons that ever bounced off your face, all the particles whose paths were interrupted by your smile, by the touch of your hair, hundreds of trillions of particles, have raced off like children, their ways forever changed by you. And as your widow rocks in the arms of a loving family, may the physicist let her know that all the photons that bounced from you were gathered in the particle detectors that are her eyes, that those photons created within her constellations of electromagnetically charged neurons whose energy will go on forever. And the physicist will remind the congregation of how much of all our energy is given off as heat. There may be a few fanning themselves with their programs as he says it. And he will tell them that the warmth that flowed through you in life is still here, still part of all that we are, even as we who mourn continue the heat of our own lives. And you’ll want the physicist to explain to those who loved you that they need not have faith; indeed, they should not have faith. Let them know that they can measure, that scientists have measured precisely the conservation of energy and found it accurate, verifiable and consistent across space and time. You can hope your family will examine the evidence and satisfy themselves that the science is sound and that they’ll be comforted to know your energy’s still around. According to the law of the conservation of energy, not a bit of you is gone; you’re just less orderly. Amen.” Aaron Freeman
