I’m still stunned by last night’s terrible news. Ken Page died suddenly. He was the one and only Oggie Boogie Man. He was simply one of the best, most generous souls I know. Full of life and overflowing with joy. Talented and then some. Ken, my friend, you will be deeply missed. pic.twitter.com/LMfnMQaju9

I worked the #D23 event just last month and I was his handler for the convention.
In my interactions with him, I could tell that he was a kind and gentle soul, with immense talent. Rest in Peace. pic.twitter.com/C6LVpplKSO
