In loving memory of Kenneth Cardel Page, a beloved father, brother, and grandfather, we celebrate his life with gratitude and fond remembrance. Born on December 1, 1955, in Youngstown, OH, to the union of William Page and Grace Page, Kenny passed away on July 10, 2024, surrounded by loved ones, leaving behind a legacy of love and kindness.

A graduate of South High School, he furthered his academic pursuits at Youngstown State University in the area of social work. His professional service at Second Harvest Food Bank echoed his commitment to serving others, leaving an enduring mark in the hearts of many.

Known for his infectious smile and magnetic personality, Kenny embodied a zest for life that touched all who knew him. As a loyal Dallas Cowboys fan and aficionado of classic cars, especially Cadillacs, he embraced each day with flair and enthusiasm. His love for dance and music resonated deeply, connecting him with others in shared joy and harmony.

A devoted patriarch and eldest brother, Kenneth bestowed his wisdom upon his family and established lifelong bonds with his grandsons. His loving relationship with his grandsons, who he adored, was no secret, especially as they exchanged special handshakes which they created. Through life's twists and turns, Kenny stood as a steady beacon of guidance and support, embodying the mantra "My family got me."

Kenneth’s legacy will remain vibrant among his daughters Kenisha Kellie and Tamika Kellie, grandsons Kristopher Helms and Kabrien Williams, siblings Wanda (Roger) Taylor, Elflicia Miller, Keith Page, and Ronald Page, along with an expansive score of family and friends. Their hearts are heavy with loss, but full of the love Kenneth shared with them throughout his life.

Never alone in life or death, as Kenneth crossed the sands into eternity, he was greeted by his parents and brother William “PeeWee” Page who preceded him. Now among the ancestors Kenneth is at peace knowing his presence remains in the hearts of those who love him dearly.

Kenneth opted for a private farewell; however a memorial service is set to take place in his honor on Friday, July 19, 2024, at 3:00 PM at the Jaylex Event Center, 2110 Glenwood Ave in Youngstown, OH., where Rev.
