Patrick B. Page, MD

Patrick B. Page, M.D. of Bluffton, SC was called to his heavenly home by his Lord and Savior on July 16, 2023, at the age of 80.   He was born in Fort Scott, Kansas on August 24, 1942.  He was born to John Ellis Page and Ava Brown Page and he is survived by his wife of 51 years, Christine Ponce Page.

He is preceded in death by a sister, Joan Page Rodman, a brother, John Irwin Page, and a kindred brother, Rodney Page.  He leaves behind a daughter Amy Page Mobley (Stephen) of Bluffton, SC, and two sons, Jay Page (Nikki) of St Joseph, MO, and Jeff Page (Jessica) of Midlothian, TX.  He is survived by 8 grandchildren, Stephanie, Stetson, Gideon, and Simeon Mobley; Samuel, Jaycee, and Silas Page; and Josie Page.  In addition, he is survived by a brother, Paul Page (Jeanne) of Kentucky, a sister Sue Collins (Gene) of Georgia, a kindred sister-in-law, Pauline Page of Missouri, and many nephews and nieces.

He was raised on a dairy farm in Bronson, Kansas.  He attended high school at Ft. Scott Christian Heights, college at Ft. Scott Junior College and Pittsburg State University, and completed his Doctor of Medicine at the University of Kansas.  After his internship in Phoenix, Arizona, he joined the Army and served a tour of duty as a doctor in the Vietnam War.  Following his military service, he completed his surgical residency at St. Francis Hospital in Wichita, KS.  He made his home in that area before he and his family moved to Acornhoek, South Africa, and then Manzini, Swaziland as a missionary doctor (General Surgeon) for 13 years with the Church of the Nazarene.  Upon returning from the mission field, he worked in emergency rooms in and around Wichita, KS.

He was gloriously saved as a child and felt the call of God to become a medical missionary when he was in college.  His love for God and others was a driving force in his life.  He never forgot that "we love, because He first loved us."

Pat loved the Lord, his church, his family (especially his 8 grandchildren), and sports.  In Kansas, he played fast-pitch softball and was well-known in that area for his pitching ability.

He will be missed for his lovingkindness and his willingness to help anyone in any way that he could.  His favorite Bible verse was "The joy of the Lord is my strength."  He lived the truth of that verse throughout his life and the prolonged illness that took his life.  His steadfast faith was an encouragement to everyone around him. 

A memorial service will be held at 12:00 pm, on Saturday, July 22, 2023, at Vaigneur Funeral Home, 6802 Tillman Road, Ridgeland, SC. The family will receive friends beginning at 11:00 am until the hour of the service at the funeral home.

A reception will follow the service at Great Swamp Baptist Church, 9009 Tarboro Road, Ridgeland, SC 29936.
