William "Billy” J. Page Jr., 75, of Paducah, passed away peacefully on June 17, 2025, at Providence Pointe in Paducah. He was born on November 8, 1949, in Paducah, KY, to the late William and Josepha Post Page.
Billy proudly served his country as a reserve in the United States Army, a commitment that reflected his deep sense of patriotism and respect for the values upon which his nation was founded. After his military service, he embarked on a career managing Pizza Inn and Dairy Queen, and later retired from a career with Coca-Cola as a Service Technician.
Billy was a member of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church. His love for NASCAR and sports was more than a hobby; it was a passion that brought excitement and joy into his life. Billy was a devoted husband, a loving father, and a grandfather, whose happiest moments were making memories with those spent surrounded by his loved ones.
Billy is survived by two sons, Chris (Dawn) Page of San Antonio, TX and Justin Page of Henderson, KY; his daughter-in-law, LaKesha McEwen Page of Murfreesboro, TN; his three grandchildren, Donovan Page, Jalen Page and Victoria Page of Murfreesboro, TN, his aunt, Dorotha Page of Paducah, and several nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his aunt and uncle who raised him from an early age, Lorene and Arvis Gourley; his wife, Jennifer "Jenny" Edgar Page, a sister, Beverly Sue "Susie" Rikel, and uncles, James “Jim” Page, and Robert “Bob” Post.
