Please don’t tell my kids that Oogie Boogie has passed away

“He sat down in his chair and went to sleep and that was it,” the representative told USA TODAY. “He was a beautiful, talented man who was larger than life. Ken was loved and adored by so so many and will be missed so much.”

Since 2015, Page has also done more than 45 musicals and has created many beloved characters. He will be missed by all that had the opportunity to work with him.

Danny Elman, who composed The Nightmare Before Christmas released a statement on Page’s death

“I’m still stunned by last night’s terrible news. Ken Page died suddenly. He was the one and only Oogie 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.”
