It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our Dad, Billy Ralph Green Sr. He went peacefully at his home.
His love for his wife and family was the truest and most unconditional kind of love. He had a love for the mountains the good Lord above and helping others. But farming was his passion. He was loved by all that knew him.
He was preceded in death by his parents, George and Lorene Green, his wife of 59 years, Joan Harris Green, his brother Joe Green, his sister Kaye Steelmam, his grandsons Brad and Adam Green and Jonathan Pike.
Left to cherish so many wonderful memories are his kids Billy (Margeret) Green, Tim (Shannon) Green, Tony Green and Sandie Green (Joe Akins). His grandkids Brandy (Kenneth) Calton, Dustan (Carla) Green, Cody (Amy) Green, Amber Green, Carmen (Kevin) Burgess, Brandon (Jade) Green, Storm Green. His great grandkids Kolbie (Briana) Calton, Kallie(Mark)Cooper, Braden Calton (Bailee Chesser), Austin, Tanner, Landon and
Tayvin Green. Sadie Green, Gracie Farmer, Oaklee Green, Lauren (Austin) Waddel, Kolten Burgess and Carter Green. His great great grandkids Kara, Tatum and Millie Calton, Motley Cooper and Tarver and Laurel Waddel.
His siblings Marilyn Chestnut, Sue Ledford, Yvonne(Doyle) Nichols, Emily Cummings, Patsy Blankenship, Neil(Joe) Edward's and SN(Judy)Green.
