Hurth Price

With deep love and profound sadness, we announce the passing of Charles Hurth Price, who left this world far too soon on April 19, 2025, at the age of 49. Known to his family and friends simply as "Hurth," he was a vibrant spirit—fun-loving, adventurous, and deeply cherished by all who knew him.

Hurth was born on August 30, 1975, and grew up in a close-knit family that treasured time spent together. He was preceded in death by his father, Richard F. Price Jr., and his brother, Richard F. Price III, affectionately known as “Ricky.” He is survived by his loving mother, Susan Hurth Price; his devoted sisters, Ashley Price and Skye Price Krogstad (Kenneth); and his beloved nieces, Susan Rayne Swanson and Summer Rickey Frances Krogstad, who adored their uncle, Hurthie. He is also survived by his uncles, aunts, cousins, and many friends.

Hurth attended Metairie Park Country Day School and was a graduate of De La Salle High School, Hurth went on to attend the University of Mississippi, where his boundless energy and charm forged lifelong friendships. His passion for the outdoors and sports was more than a hobby—it was a way of life. Hurth lived for the thrill of adventure. He spent winters hunting at his family’s camp, and summers skiing and wakeboarding on the Wolf River in Pass Christian, Mississippi. Hurth spent a summer in Innsbruck, Austria and visited England, France, Italy, Germany, and Switzerland where he climbed mountains, bungee jumped and went repelling. He took yearly trips to Colorado with his family skiing and snowboarding. His love for snowboarding led him to a chapter of life in Durango, Colorado, where he found joy carving down the mountainside.

Hurth worked for many years as a Landman in the Oil and Gas Business. In New Orleans, he could often be seen biking along the levee or in City Park. He had recently returned from a camping trip in Big Bend and was eagerly planning more travels and adventures.

Hurth was a loyal and loving brother, son, and uncle, and a lifelong friend to many. His laughter was contagious, and his heart was generous. Those who knew him will forever carry his memory in the stories shared, adventures, and the love that lives on.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you honor his memory by spending time in nature, sharing a laugh with a friend, or planning your next adventure—just as Hurth would have wanted. Maybe a trip to Philadelphia to try a Philly cheese steak.
