Lowell Velva Page, Jr.
(February 13, 1939 - July 10, 2013)
Lowell V. Page, JR was born in San Angelo, Texas, Feb 13, 1939 to Sally B Sparks and Lowell Velva Page, Sr.
He lost his battle with COPD congestive heart failure July 10, 2013.
Lowell was raised in San Angelo and Crowell, Texas, experiencing the carefree lifestyle of a boy of the 1940-50's. He began scouting and earned his Eagle Scout Award at the age of 13. That Scouting experience carried over to him becoming the Scout Master of Flagstaff Troop 33, a position he held for over 10 years, receiving Scout Master of the Year in 1996. He was so proud of the skills the boys learned and especially to see those achieve the highest rank of Eagle Scout, including his own sons Pete and Will Page. He asked at their award ceremony that they "give back to Scouting or the community."
Lowell loved sports. He learned to play tennis from the principal of the segregated black school in his home town. He played football at 6 feet tall and 120 lbs in high school. He learned how to coach soccer as his sons became interested in the sport. He went on to become head AYSO coach for several years, retiring from that position so others would be encouraged to "step up and take their turn."
Lowell loved the Flagstaff High School Eagle sports programs, especially wrestling, football, basketball and girls volleyball. It was said he had the loudest voice in the stands. He was a faithful NAU Lumberjack football and basketball fan for nearly 40 years. When the teams were losing he would be one of the few in the stands because he wanted to "support the kids."
Lowell attended North Texas State University and completed his BS in biology at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. In 1967 Lowell and his wife Janis and their two young daughters, Tammye and Linda, moved to Flagstaff just before the 7 foot snow storm.
After completing his degree and graduate classes he decided to continue working in construction with his mentor Wayne Bonner, eventually becoming a partner and then later becoming the owner of the company. They specialized in insurance reconstruction for over 45 years.
Lowell enjoyed helping people rebuild their lives after catastrophic loss of home or business. He got the most satisfaction working alongside his son, Pete designing new homes, and additions for clients. He encouraged many young men who worked for him to earn their college degrees and let them work around their class schedules.
He met Sallie Hayes in 1972 and they began to build a house and life together. They used bunks of hog lumber from the mill making their own 2X4s and using scrap for cabinet stock in their first home. They felt if they could build a house together they could probably live through about anything. They married August 22, 1973 and went on to build successful construction and rental property businesses.
Lowell and Sallie shared the love of camping, hunting and exploring the Southwest. They both loved classic cars; at last count they had 8 "old cars not show cars." They joined the Route 66 Car Club and went on many cruises and car shows with the group. He was able to drive his beloved 1973 Mustang coupe in the 4th of July parades in both Flagstaff and Parks, AZ just before his death.
Lowell is survived by his wife of nearly 40 years, Sallie Hayes Page, of Flagstaff; his daughter, Tammye Lynn Page Erb and her husband Steve and Lowell's grandson, Haven, of Crowell, Texas; his son Peter Lowell Page of Flagstaff; and his sister, Nora Ann Page Stonecipher, of Cedar Hill, Texas. He leaves behind many nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and associates whose lives he touched, and his beloved black Lab, Maggie Mae.
He was preceded in death by his parents; by his daughter, Linda Beth Page; and by his son, William Thomas Page.
Funeral service will be held July 20, 2013 at the Flagstaff Elks Lodge at 2PM; internment at Citizens Cemetery in Flagstaff; with reception to follow at the Elks Lodge.
Calling hours will be Friday, July 19 from 6-8 PM at Norvel Owens Mortuary, 914 E. Route 66, Flagstaff, AZ.
Those wishing to make a donation in Lowell's memory may do so to Flagstaff High School sports program with notation for wrestling, choir or auto shop (400 W. Elm St, Flagstaff, Arizona 86001) or a charity of your choice.
