Darrell Wynne Price age 69, of Waco Texas finished his race Thursday March 23, 2023 after suffering from a stroke.
Celebration of Life: 10AM Saturday, April 15 at Highland Baptist Church 3014 Maple Ave Waco, TX 76710
He was born February 27, 1954 at Hillcrest Hospital in Waco, Texas to A B and Margaret Price. He graduated high school in 1972 from Richfield/Waco High. After high school, he attended trade school at Texas State Technical Institute for TV and radio repair. In 1975, he then met the love of his life and wife of almost 46 years, Kim Price, at Magic Music on 25th Street. They were 21 and 18 years of age at the time. They wed two years later May 14, 1977 and started a family shortly after. They pursued the call on their lives and both attended Rhema Bible Training College in Broken Arrow, OK from ‘79 to ‘81 and returned back to their hometown roots following graduation plugging in and serving at New Life Christian Center of Waco in 1983 to 1986.
On July 13, 1986, Pastor Darrell pioneered Family Worship Center out of a house on N. 19th St.
Pastor Darrell started with a handful of people and soon outgrew the house and moved to a store front building on Herring Ave. He loved people and wanted to share his Jesus and the Holy Spirit with anyone that would give him an ear. In April of 1990, the church purchased and converted the Trinity Methodist building on N. 25th where he would finish the remainder of his pastoral career. Darrell became a member of Rhema Ministerial Association International (RMAI) in 1988 and later served as an RMAI regional director from 2004 to present.
His passion for learning resulted in a personal library of books, cassette tapes, CD’s and most recently, podcasts. When he wasn’t reading or studying, he was counseling and ministering to people or working on one of his many real estate projects.
He loved people to a fault and was selfless with his time for counseling, discipleship, and comforting others. In what spare time he had, he loved spending time with his kids and grand kids and playing golf with his two older brothers, Aaron and Lane Price.
Competitive was his middle name and he loved playing basketball, softball, foosball, ping-pong, and golf. In fact, he was so competitive that on his 69th birthday, he wrestled and pinned two of his grand kids in a 15 minute match.
He had several life motos, “Relationship Driven, Relationship Focused, We Love God, and We love Others”. He loved “snatching souls out of hell to populate heaven.” In the morning he would say “I am up again, and the devil is in trouble.” His most recent saying was “Today would be a great day to meet Jesus.” He never feared anything, especially death.
On March 12,2023 during his sermon he said “My Spirit will never die, one day you will read in the paper that Pastor Darrell Price has died, don’t believe it! I did die physically but I’m not dead, I am alive! The real me because my belief in Jesus Christ is living the resurrected life.”
Pastor Darrell was preceded in death by his father A B Price and his mother Margret Fritz Price; sister-in-law, Connie Price, and sister-in-law, Carolyn Kruger Craig.
Survivors include his wife, Lisa Kim Kruger Price; son, Matthew Darrell Price; daughter and son in law, Erika and Dionicio Leal; four grandchildren, Mekinnah Leal, Zane Leal, Max Leal and Zaylah Leal; brother and sister-in-law, Lane and Nancy Price; brother and sister-in-law, Aaron and Gloria Price; multiple nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews, and one great-great nephew along with an abundance of family, his church family, and friends.

Brother Darrell was my spiritual Daddy… I met them in 1997. I was raised Baptist but I heard Chuck Swindoll on the radio and he said”Ask GOD to remove everything you’ve ever been taught
… HE’LL take out what’s wrong put back what’s right and add to it TRUTH” Right after I prayed that prayer GOD orchestrated me going to FWC….Bro. Darrell was the BEST teacher/Preacher I had EVER heard… Such a kind caring loving Pastor. He taught me so MUCH… I know he is a general in HEAVEN . … I will forever love and miss you Bro Darrell…until we meet in HEAVEN so-long Sir you’ll NEVER be forgotten.
Its hard to believe that I wont get to see him physically anymore, but I carry everything he taught me about The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit. When I describe him to my family and friends, the word that comes up most is “Steady”. He was steady in his walk with God, His love for his family and for his church family. I will miss him dearly, but I know he is at home with our Lord and he definitely heard the words well done good and faithful servant enter into the kingdom. HOT DIGGITY DOG!
Missing you Pastor Darrell until then can’t wait to meet you in heaven and run those streets of Gold. Do use a favor kick some of that gold dust over our Church. Love and miss you, your Otis.
Price Family, Wow…that was the best obituary I’ve read to date. I’m sad our world lost such a Godly man. I wish I had met him before he left us. My prayers are with each of you. I normally would say “May God Bless you during this dreadful time” however, he has, he will and will continue. Each of you are so blessed to have known this man, husband, dad, and of course friend!!! Remember~his body died but his spirit will live on forever-he said so himself. Much love to all, May peace be with you. Amen
I just want to say that I am so very sorry for the pain of this incredible loss. I am so very thankful that my family and I were so blessed to have had this wonderful man in our life. Pastor Darrell had a heart of gold. He was truly a God loving, God serving man. He left a awesome Legacy. He touched mine and my families life more than anyone one knows. I am proud to say he was my Pastor. My grandsons loved his and look up to him as a role model for serving God and for being just over all a great man. Heaven definitely gained a wonderful soul. I know his family loves his so much. They have been awesome in continuing their love for the Lord. I am so blessed to know that they will continue to keep our church alive. thank you Pastor Kim for sticking with all of us. Brother Darrell and your entire family are a true example of Christ. I love you all. thanks for everything .
Bonnie and I cannot properly express our sadness for all of us who loved and respected Pastor Darrell. We do rejoice in the fact that we shall see him in our future in Glory around the throne of our God. All our love and prayers for Gods comfort and peace to surround you.
Darrell will truly be missed by so many! I loved him as a pastor, he was s great person to all! You are resting in peace wifh the lord jesus christ!
I had just recently met Darrell on a project he had been working on and I was instantly drawn to his demeanor as a person even before I knew he was a minister and when I got to know him during the brief times, we spent together he truly amazed me and my wife and continues to do so in our memories.
Kim and family,
We are praying for all of you in your time of sorrow. May you have the perfect peace that only God can give in the days ahead.
Our love and sympathy.
Sharon(Lyon) Burnett and family
I love this man and his wife so much. He taught me how to speak for healing. I remember he was playing basketball and twisted his ankle, never knew if it was broke because he would walk around and say in the name of Jesus I am healed, by his stripes I am healed and he would say it over and over until he was walking straight and healed.
Also hearing Matt’s story of him mowing the yard of the person that broke into his house, he was Jesus in the flesh – truly WWJD kind of man.
Pastor Darrell you will be forever missed, but will see you when I get my upgrade!
My sincerest Sympathies and Condolences to Darrell’s Family and closest friends. I will always fondly remember him as one of the good guys from our days together at North Jr. High and Waco High.
Pastor Darrell was a great influence in our lives. Joey and I still remember many of his teachings. We still say sometimes, “Go to Lowes, buy some lumber, build a bridge and get over it. ” I can see Darell “epipiptoing” in heaven. And many times, I still tell myself to laugh when going thru a tough situation. I’ll just start saying, ha ha ha over and over again. Those are just a few examples of things we remember him teaching. May God comfort and bless Kim, Matt, Erica and all the family.
Pastor Darrell IS the most gracious Man I’ve met , my life is Forever enriched by having the Great Honor of getting to know Him He is still loved and will only be missed a short while , I believe God is winding things up ^ and Mercifully letting us know. My Condolences to All Pastor Darrells immediate Family especially , than to ALL He adopted and birthed spiritually !!… His ripple effect will last Eternally !…
