Scott Bonne Price was born on March 12, 1958 to Charles “Bud” and Bev (Bonne) Price in Kansas City, Missouri. He graduated from Sidney High School, Sidney, Iowa in 1976.  He earned a mechanical technology degree from Iowa Western Community College and attended Northwest Missouri State University for a time.

After high school, Scott married Linda Moyer and to this union were born Kimberly and Kyle.  He later married Elizabeth Judkins and enjoyed being step father to her three children.

Scott and his younger brother, Stuart owned S&S Service station in Sidney for a few years. In March of 1993, Scott began working for Pella Corporation in Shenandoah, Iowa.  He enjoyed that job, and became a team leader over various departments.  Lean manufacturing and Kaisan methods were things he learned in his fourteen years there, and applied them wherever he could the rest of his life. After leaving Pella, Scott worked for O’Reilly’s parts store, Magnolia Metals, Ariens, Fast Global, and finally Delta 3.  He retired at age 62.

Scott met Kristine while working at Pella and they married on December 29, 2006.  They went to the courthouse to pay taxes and after meeting with the judge, got married that very afternoon.  It was the last marriage that judge performed on her final day before retirement. They made their home in Tarkio, Missouri and both became very active in the Tarkio Presbyterian Church. He made sure she had everything she thought she needed and supported her in her hobbies and endeavors.

Everyone who met Scott, soon heard of his love for cars (mostly Ford) and especially Ford Cougars. He never got tired of watching NHRA and got to attend several races in Topeka, Kansas. He even got Kristine to like being at the races and meeting the drivers. He enjoyed rebuilding a ’37 Ford flathead belonging to a friend and had fun taking it to local car shows. Scott repaired a variety of motors and vehicles including a boat, a bull dozer, and always Kristine’s lawn mower. Each one presented a challenge that had to be beat, and he did,… eventually. If you had sensitive ears you did not want to be nearby because something ALWAYS went wrong or broke when he worked on a vehicle. “Typical Scott luck,” he’d say.

A jack of all trades, Scott was known to help friends with just about any project they needed done from setting clothes line poles, to making kitchen cabinet doors, painting walls, installing flooring, trimming shrubs, you name it.  Sometimes he’d accept money as payment, but he’d grumble about it saying, “It’s what friends do for each other.”

Grandkids were a joy in his life. When they were little, he’d let them climb all over him and he’d carry them on his shoulders so they could touch the ceiling light. Scott lit up and loved it when they would see Memaw and smile, but turn to look for Popsie and run to him the second they saw him. He treasured the times he got to watch his older granddaughters play sports and was so very proud of them.

Scott was loved and appreciated by his step children and helped them with vehicles and anything he could. He was there when son-in-law Jake made a castle shelving unit for Ashlyn. He was like an uncle for many years to Katie and Lizzy Jane Morris who fondly call him “Scott Bonnie.”

A late diagnosis of prostate cancer was his final challenge. But he kept working on projects and things around the house for as long as he could. However, he never got to rebuild either of his ’67 Cougars or build his body building shop.

Scott was patient with nearly everyone. He was kind and gentle, only allowing his frustrations to show in private, or when trying to do something on the computer. Always looking for an easier way, he was quick to share his idea of the best way to do something. Scott made many friends over the years and is loved by more than he realized.  In truth, his “typical Scott luck” meant that in spite of all the struggles, he will remain in the hearts of many who will miss him more than Scott could have imagined.

Scott B. Price took his final drive in his favorite Ford pickup on September 14, 2021, outside Rockport, Missouri.
