Scott William Page

Scott William Page

SEATTLE, Wash. — Scott William Page, 51, passed away Sunday, November 24, 2024, at his home in Seattle, Washington, after an extended illness.

 

Page was raised since birth in Hoboken, Ga., and Decatur, Ga., and established his home later in life in West Seattle, Washington.

He was the son of Rita Meralyn Fain and the late Robert Franklin Page.

Page was valedictorian and STAR Student of the 1992 Class of Brantley County High School. He furthered his education at Emory University with a degree in English and Creative Writing.

Page maintained a love of language and poetry throughout his life, even though his children teased him as “only an adequate limerist.” His interest in poetry, music and community led to a varied career that included English and Latin teacher, amateur sound assistant, Library assistant, advanced studies in Library Science and Information technology, and pursuit of Cicerone certification.

Page was active in social justice, worked in voter registration, and protested at least 10 times in support for a world that reflected the ideals of equality and love for all people.

His favorite dessert was his mother-in-law’s rum cake - even though she told him the recipe came from a bakery in Folkston.

Page wanted to “wish love and peace to all, and offer my sincere gratitude for your caring, friendship, and love.”

He is survived by Jessamine and Levi Page (his children with Karin Scott) of Seattle, Wash.; his mother, Rita Meralyn Fain of Waycross; his step-sister, Jennifer (Jeffrey) Riggins of Hoboken; and numerous other family and friends.

A memorial service will be held Saturday, January 4, 2025 at Return Home in Auburn, Wash.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Scott’s honor to a charity or cause of your choice.
