Obituary: Richard H. Page

Richard H. Page, age 57, went to be with the Lord, whom he served so faithfully, on Sunday, June 26, 2016. He was surrounded by his loving family and friends as he entered his eternal reward.
He was born on Nov. 11, 1958, in Goldsboro, North Carolina, a son of the late Cornelius M. and Minnie Lee Page. He graduated from Maynard Evans High School in 1976 and married Lora Meadows on Dec. 31, 1977.
How can you sum up the life of one who touched so many lives in just a few words? Rick, as he was known to his family and friends, had a passion for serving God that led him to "birth" Faith Family Community Church almost 25 years ago. He served as their pastor/friend for most of those years until illness required that he step down as leader. The lives he touched throughout his ministry are too numerous to count. His loving and gentle spirit was an encouragement and comfort to all who knew him.
From high school sweethearts to lifelong partners, Rick's love and commitment to Lora has never waivered! Oh what a love! He considered Grant, his son, his hero, and it was a privilege to be his father. Concern for their well-being was his priority. Having experienced the loss of most of his immediate family, he and his sister Terri became even closer. Rick was loved and respected by his entire extended family and friends. He loved his family well.
Another of Rick's passions was building and restoring motorcycles, and he became the owner of Ascension Cycle Works, where he worked closely with his nephews Jason and Justin.
Rick is survived by his wife, Lora M. Page; son, Grant Page; his sister, Terri Mastin (David); and many loving nieces, nephews and friends. Rick is preceded in death by his sister, Connie Mitchell, and C.M. Page.
Rick will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him. "Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of the Lord" where there will be all unclouded days!

Rick’s arrangements are in the caring guidance of Winter Oak Funeral Home & Cremations.
