Jimmie Lee Price, Sr., age 81 of McQueeney, passed away on September 16, 2025. Jimmie was born on July 12, 1944 in Galveston, Texas to Hazel (Lindeman) and Joseph Lee Price.
Jimmie grew up on Cosgrove St. in San Antonio until his sophomore year at Highland High School. The family then moved to McQueeney in 1960 and he graduated from Seguin High School in 1962. It was here that he met the love of his life and future wife of 61 years Cassandra (Casey) Naumann. While in high school he, along with several friends, started a dance band called The Dynamics. Jimmie played the baritone saxophone and they performed for events around the area. He and Casey enjoyed traveling and dancing at these events.
After high school Jimmie attended Texas Lutheran College for a year and worked at Seguin Motor Company. After his son Jimmie Jr. was born, he took a job with the Texas Department of Highways and Transportation starting out in the maintenance department and, for the next 30 plus years, worked his way up to Engineering Inspector by the time of his retirement in 1994. After retirement, he spent his time working in his shop or on numerous other projects he always had. After the floods of 1998 and 2002 he was contracted by GBRA to supervise the clean up of Lake McQueeney. A job that he enjoyed and was close to his heart and home of Lake McQueeney. He loved being able to go to work in his jon boat. He also served on the unofficial “McQueeney City Counsel”. This was a group of friends and fellow retirees that met every weekday morning at Pica Taco for years in the early 2000’s.
Jimmie most of all cherished his time with his three grandchildren Joey, Olivia, and LeeAnn. As a member of the Mighty Matador Marching Band in his era, he especially enjoyed watching his grandchildren perform and compete with the band. Always going to their games and competitions to support them. He loved taking them to Luby’s to eat after events or any other time he could.
Jimmie was a builder, creator, and fixer of all things. He loved working with his hands. Over the course of his life he, and Jimmie Jr, built, restored, or repaired numerous cars, boats, houses, or whatever needed fixing. The family joked that he slept in the house but lived in his shop. This is where he found his peace and relaxation.
Jimmie was preceded in death by his parents.
