Richard McDonald Page passed away December 23, 2025 at the age of 57. He was born February 27, 1968 in Honolulu, Hawaii.

For many years, Richard owned a successful automotive detailing business in Florida, where his talent and meticulous attention to detail truly shone. A jack-of-all-trades, he possessed a keen intellect and was often the go-to person for those around him to solve problems and share laughter. His personality was vibrant and full of warmth; he was a character who brought humor and love into every interaction.

Richard was not only an accomplished businessman but also a devoted family man. He took pride in being a wonderful husband, father, grandfather, son, brother and uncle, always putting the needs of his loved ones above his own. Through thick and thin, he was there to lend a hand or offer a kind word, embodying a selflessness that left a profound impact on everyone who knew him.

A God-fearing and God-loving Christian, Richard found joy in nurturing his faith and sharing it with others. He was a dedicated member of Joy Baptist Temple, where he served as their sound technician and actively engaged in the life of the church. Richard’s love for the Bible and his desire to uplift others created connections that inspired many and left an indelible mark on their hearts.

Beyond his devotion to work and faith, Richard had a passion for all things hands-on. He relished tinkering with various projects and had a deep affection for animals, especially his cherished dogs. Richard's love for life was infectious, and his ability to bless others was unparalleled. No need went unnoticed by him; he would go to great lengths to help anyone in need, all while praising God for the opportunity to serve.

Throughout his life, Richard embodied the essence of generosity, showcasing what it truly means to live out one's faith. He went beyond helping; he blessed others in profound ways, often without seeking recognition—a pure reflection of being the hands and feet of Christ.

He was preceded in death by his grandfathers, Robert Lloyd Page and Carey McDonald Hanks; grandmothers, Nina Eileen Riley Page and LillieFair Goodman Hanks.

He is survived by his wife, Julia Page; children, Jessica (Brandon) Amos and Kimberly (Justin) Foster; granddaughter, Sophia Guinevere Foster; parents, Richard Wayne Page and Dottie Lenora Page; sister, Christine (Odis) Baggett; nieces, Casey (Chad) Dunaway, Camryn (Christian) Allday; nephew, Christian Baggett and a host of extended family.

A Celebration of Life will be Tuesday, December 30, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. in the chapel of Lawrence Brown-Service Funeral Home of Selma with Pastor Mike Beard officiating. Interment will follow at Pineview Memory Gardens in Valley Grande. Visitation will begin at the funeral home at 9:00 a.m., prior to the service.
