Farewell - Page Funeral ChapelCharles Green Obituary
October 14,1943 – January 31, 2026
Charles was born to Bedie D and Classie Mae Green in Ada, Oklahoma on October 14, 1943.
Charles was one of ten children. "Charlie" traveled the world during his Navy service and throughout the US, starting at a very young age when his family left Oklahoma – working hard alongside his mother and siblings, all the way to California. Charlie spent more than 50 years in the Fresno area, the last 20 here in Selma, CA near his children. Charles was adored by his grandchildren and great- grandchildren, who enjoyed visiting, discovering new things and spending time with him.
Charlie is survived by siblings Dianne Martin, Richard Green, Danny and Joanne Green, of Oklahoma. His children, Melody Berlinski, Robert Berlinski, Michele & Robert Garza II. His grandchildren, Nicole Starling, Kristen and Anthony RW Garza III, Michael and Raquel Mathison,
Kayla Broadway. His great grandchildren, Elizabeth "Bettie" Hutson, Michael ARW Garza IV, Aria Garza, Marilyn & Nevaeh Mathison.
Our Patriarch, our Beloved Papa, and the Legendary Charlie Green left his earthly body behind and was welcomed by the angels on January 31, 2026. The world will not be the same.
A proud Navy sailor who quietly enlisted one month after seventeenth birthday, and again a few years later for a second commitment enjoyed two full term enlistments with honorable discharge and a commendation resulting in the awarding of a bronze star. He spent the rest of his life moving the Earth with his honesty, integrity, loyalty and a John Deere backhoe as an owner/operator for 50+ years. Some would say he was an Angel on our planet, his family would agree. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Papa writing this is the hardest thing I've ever done, but I need you to know the depth of my gratitude before I say goodbye. Thank you for loving me as your daughter my whole life you gave me the love and attention I needed growing up and you were the foundation I built my world upon. Thank you for all your kindness and rational advice. Thank you for helping me to be the best version of me loving me until I could love myself and being so patient with me. Thank you for being my hero from the way you probably served our country to the way you lived your daily life you showed me what true strength and integrity looks like. Thank you for being so kind to my family and always being there for my mom. Your influence is truly a gift that will live on through me forever. You have been my father my protector and my best friend, I promise that I will take care of your hat and John Deere speaker for the rest of my life. It will stay with me as a piece of you that I will never let go. I love you more than words can ever express I just know you're up in heaven on a backhoe digging trenches for all of God's mansions. Please continue to watch over me and Michael and baby Nevaeh. Rest in peace Papa until we meet again and with all my love
love Melody
