Sgt. Maj. (Ret.) Price D. Barden

With our full hearts of sadness, we honor and celebrate the remarkable life of Sgt. Maj. (Ret.) Price David Barden, who gained his heavenly wings on December 3, 2025, after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. Though he left this world, the joy, love, and light he shared will continue to shine in the lives of all who knew him. Price Barden lived a life of purpose and bravery as he served in the United States Army for 30 years. He retired honorably as a Sergeant Major. Price was an affectionate and loving husband of 25 years to his wife Kim and a dedicated father to his children Tyrone (deceased), Bernice (deceased), Simone, Desmond, and Shae. Above all, he was a man of faith and lived out his beliefs not just in words, but in action. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.

Well done, good and faithful servant...Enter into the joy of the Lord.  Matthew 25:23.
