Jeffrey Page

Jeffrey Adair Page of Ocean Springs, MS, passed away Friday, September 3, 2021, after only 43 years on this earth. Affectionally known as Jeff by most, “Frog” by his family and “PeeWee” by his friends, he leaves behind his beautiful wife, Randi, and two sons, Fisher (12) and Landry (9). He also leaves behind his mother, Teresa Ainsworth, and her husband, Virgil of Soso, MS; father, Wallace Page, Jr., and wife, Dorine, of Vancleave, MS; In-laws, Stan and Donna Fleenor of Ocean Springs; brother, Jason Page, and wife, Amanda, of Huntsville, AL; brother-in-law, Brett Fleenor, and wife, Kennie; grandmothers, Mary Ann Jernigan of Bay Springs and Louise Page of Ocean Springs; nieces and nephew, Mattie Page, Carley Page, Isaiah Page, and Hadley Fleenor.

Jeff was preceded in death by grandfathers, JC Jernigan of Bay Springs, MS and Wallace Page, Sr. of Ocean Springs, MS.

Raised on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, he graduated from St. Martin High School, Class of 1996, before achieving a Chemical Engineering degree from MSU. (Go Bulldogs!) He was employed by SUPSHIP Gulf Coast for the last 13 years.

Of all of his many accomplishments, being a husband to Randi and a father to Fish and Lan were the ones he was most proud of. He was so intentional in his parenting, and what he passed on to them spiritually will stand the test of eternity as well as their everyday lives because the best of him is interwoven into their intellect, humor, and athleticism. He loved coaching his boys and teasing his wife. He was always quick with a laugh and a smile that put everyone around him at ease. He was the definition of “the life of the party”, so it’s no surprise that he packed a lot of adventure into his life, traveling as often as he could to fun, new places. Jeff wasn’t just adventurous. He had an entrepreneurial spirit with a work ethic to match. This is something he happily shared with his boys as he worked alongside them with their neighborhood “Trash Tacklers” business and 3D Printing Etsy Shop. It’s no surprise that Randi and Jeff were meant for each other! Meeting her and Jesus changed his life. He lived out his faith so well. He walked in integrity and took Jesus into every relationship he had. Jeff and Randi shared more than love. They shared vision, dreamed big, and were always looking for the next way to grow and challenge themselves as the team they were.

Jeff was a great baseball coach to many different teams over the years, but he was an even better role model. He showed each player what it meant to be a man who valued kindness, compassion, gratitude, and so many things they’ll take with them long after they retire their mitts and bats. He volunteered faithfully leading his “rascals” with the children’s ministry at Cedar Lake Church where he was a long-time member.

Jeff Page will be missed by so many including family and friends too numerous to count. He impacted more lives than even he knew. A life well-lived isn’t one to be filled with regrets, but it is one to be grieved when it’s lost. Though we know that his return to his Savior was no surprise to the Father, those of us left behind wish we had a little more time to enjoy the man that Jeff was. We have no doubt that he is at perfect peace and that gives us comfort. We also have no doubt that come game time, Jeff will be passing out cowbells to all of the angels when MSU plays, and he will be ringing his the loudest!!!

Visitation will be held at Cedar Lake Church, 11555 Cedar Lake Road, Biloxi MS 39532 from 10:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. immediately followed by a celebration of life service on Thursday, September 9, 2021 with Dr. Murphy Matheny and Pastor John Carrano officiating.
