Ryan Michael Page

CHINA – Ryan Michael Page, 48, a dedicated serviceman, loving family man, and cherished friend to many, passed away unexpectedly on Feb. 2, 2026.

Ryan was a long-time resident of Maine, growing up in Windsor and graduating in 1995 from Erskine Academy, before enlisting. Ryan served with distinction for four years active duty in the United States Air Force and 21 years in the Georgia Air National Guard, where his commitment to excellence helped keep aircraft mission-ready and his fellow service members safe. During his Guard service, he also had the honor of working at the Pentagon as Executive Assistant to the Chief of the Air National Guard, supporting high-level leadership with his positive attitude and sharp insight. He was most recently employed at Togus V.A. Medical Center where he continued to serve veterans.

A true sports enthusiast, Ryan was a fan of the Boston Red Sox and the New England Patriots and spent countless hours cheering them on. He loved to be surrounded by nature, whether that be through fishing, hunting, snowmobiling or just relaxing at “Our Time” in the beautiful forests of Maine. Most importantly, Ryan loved sharing all of those moments with his friends, family, and beloved dogs Avery and Asher.

Ryan will forever be remembered as someone who illuminated each room he stepped into with his laughter, kindness, and unwavering ability to turn anyone he talked to into his friend. Ryan was known far and wide for his incredible hugs, infectious smile, and his uncanny talent to turn any two-minute story into hours of humor and heart. As a mentor, he was always striving to lift those around him to be their best selves. Ryan’s legacy lives on in the lives he improved, the laughter he shared, the stories he told, and the love he gave so freely.

Ryan is survived by his children, Reece Page and Peyton Page; his devoted fiancée, Kayla Welch and her son Myles Nored; his mother, Rachel Lombard, and stepfather, Darrel Lombard; his sister, Regan Tyler; stepbrother, Chris Lombard, stepsister, Leslie Wagner; nieces, nephews; and a wide circle of extended family, friends, and colleagues.

A celebration of life will take place on Friday, Feb. 20, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Winslow VFW, 175 Veteran Drive, in Winslow. All whose hearts he touched are welcomed to attend.
