Gary Custis Green, 71, of Salisbury, Maryland, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by his family, on September 26, 2025. He had battled Myelodysplastic Syndrome, a blood cancer, for over 5 years.

Gary was born on April 13, 1954, in Nassawadox, VA. He was the son of Winnie T. Green and the late Mitchel Green. He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Judy Tillison Green, and two children, Jennifer (Shawn) Wolfe and Brandon (Brandy) Green, as well as six grandchildren ~ Malorie, Michael, and Madeline Wolfe, and Owen, Paxton, and Savannah Green. He is also survived by his two brothers, Michael (Darlene) Green and Drew (Susan) Green, as well as his brother-in-law Richard Tillison and his sister-in-law Jan (Joe) Berger, and numerous nieces and nephews.

Gary is a 1976 graduate of Virginia Tech, a Certified Public Accountant, and he received his MBA from Wilmington University in 1995. Upon his move to Salisbury 36 years ago, Gary was the Comptroller at UMES. He retired in 2017 after serving as the Accounting Manager for the Wicomico County Board of Education.

Gary will be remembered for his love of the piano, VT sports, spending time with his cherished family, and his perpetually positive and optimistic outlook on life.

A visitation will be held at Holloway Funeral Home at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 4th, followed by a service at 10:00 a.m. Interment will be at John W. Taylor Cemetery in Temperanceville, VA.
