On December 26, 2024 at the age of 78 Millard Lee Green,Jr loving husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend passed away at his home surrounded by his family. Millard was known by all that knew and loved him as simply "Jr". He was born in 1946 in Omaha, Nebraska to Millard Lee Green, Sr. and Crystal Coburn Green.

Jr was a man of simple pleasures, working on cars, going fishing up in Minnesota, camping and riding motorcycles. Riding motorcycles soon became the #1 passion for both Jr. and his wife, Karen. They traveled in many states and traveled several thousands of miles on the Gold Wing Trike. His favorite time on the bike was when they passed a freshly mowed hay field....he loved that fresh smell. Everywhere they went Jr attracted butterflies, they would land on his shoulders, his arms and even on his nose once. Jr loved his grandchildren with a passion like none other and always let them know that they were loved and that he was so proud of them. Jr was known for his friendship, kindness, compassion and the desire to always help someone in need.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Millard Green, Sr, his mother Crystal Green, sisters Sabra Tilton and Corlee Nelson, brothers, Clifford and Ross.
