It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Garry Michael Green, who left us on March 21, 2025, at the age of 71. Garry was born on July 6, 1953, to Alpha James and Monta Lois Green in Sayre, Oklahoma. He graduated from Roswell High School in 1971. He married the love of his life, Patricia Lee Reynolds, on April 6, 1973, in Roswell, New Mexico.
Garry’s life was marked by his unwavering dedication to his family and his work. He had a long and distinguished career in the oil fields, working for numerous companies over the years. He retired in 2017 from Basic Energy Resources, leaving behind a legacy of hard work and commitment.
Those who knew Garry will remember him as a quiet but fun-loving man with a heart full of warmth and kindness. He found great joy in the simple pleasures of life, especially fishing, a pastime that brought him peace and contentment. His love for his family was immeasurable, and his gentle presence will be deeply missed by all who were fortunate to know him.
Garry leaves behind his beloved wife of 52 years, Patricia (Patty) Green; his son, Robyn Green; his daughter-in-law, Kim Green; and his grandchildren, Alison, Phoebe, and Chloe. He is also survived by his brother, Larry Mitchell, and wife Cheryl; his brother, Gilbert Dale Green; his sister-in-law Donna Reynolds; and his nephews, Sean Reynolds, Steven Reynolds, Keegan Green, Keeden Green, and Tristan Green.
A service to celebrate Garry’s life will be held at 10:00 am on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, at Terpening & Son Chapel with a burial to immediately follow at Woodbine Cemetery. Officiating will be Jack Ferguson.
