Rodger Page

Rodger "Curt" Page, a Son, Father, Uncle, Brother, and Friend, passed away peacefully on October 31, 2025, at home in Columbus, Ohio, having lived just 52 years.

Curt was a brilliant man, having been recognized as gifted early in school, a trait both of his children share. He was a critical thinker like his mother and could spar with anyone in a battle of wits. For all who knew him and loved him, and who even fought for him, knew he suffered from the effects of illness. But despite these debilitating effects, his life shone bright, and he managed to impact others in a real way. No one had a better friend if he could help. This is seen in the work he did and in the lives he touched.

Curt was a man of warmth, generosity, and deep love for his family and friends. He found joy in barbecuing, shooting pool, and completing puzzles with his beloved daughter, Courtney. His most recent work at the Wexner Jewish Center was a testament to his compassionate spirit, as seniors cherished every moment spent with him.

Curt is survived by his loving mother, Beverly Page, his wife, Andrea Page, and his children: Rodger Curtis Dexter Page Jr., James Givens, and Courtney Elmore Page. He also leaves behind his mother-in-law Mary M Anderson, uncle James E Wood III, siblings: Ken Cherry, Rhonda (Michelle) Cherry, Lisa (Sam) Vance, Anthony (Amaya Page), Gwendolyn (Keith) Berkley, Willie G. (Pauline) Page, Debra Tatum, and Christopher Page. He will be deeply missed by his special cousins, Steve (Erin) Samuels, and Kena (Robbie) Stith, and by his lifelong friend Frankie Wilson, and close friend Steve Thomas.

There are a host of friends, coworkers, and "incorporated" family members who were essential to Curt and are a blessing to his life and to us, and must be mentioned, but would be too long a list to include here. We thank you for caring about Curt.

He was preceded in death by his maternal and paternal grandparents, his father Willie J. Page, his sister Darlene Page, aunt and uncle Saundra (Steve) Samuels, and father-in-law William J. Anderson.

Our beloved "Curt, Cheezy” has gone on to be with the Lord. Though gone from our sight, he will remain forever in our hearts. We find comfort in the words of Psalm 34:18: "Gone from our sight, but forever in our hearts."
