MSG Charles Edward Green Jr.

Charles E. Green lived a life defined by quiet strength, honor, and unwavering purpose. Born on November 23, 1964 in Vidalia, Ga. Charles was a man of deep character whose impact far exceeded the short 60 years he was given. A college graduate, a proud veteran, a devoted husband, loving father, supportive brother, and loyal friend. — Charles carried each title with grace and dedication.

From his early days, Charles stood out as a natural leader and talented athlete. After graduating from high school, Charles chose a path of service, enlisting in the Army, where he served his country with distinction and honor. His military service included deployments to the Middle East, where he took part in both Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom. His time in uniform reflected who he truly was: selfless, courageous, and committed to something greater than himself.

Following his military service, he pursued higher education and earned a degree in Business Management from Summit University, a testament to his dedication and perseverance.

Though retired from military service, Charles never stopped serving others. Whether mentoring young men, volunteering in the community, or simply being a reliable presence for his loved ones, he lived his life with purpose and compassion. He was the kind of person who would show up — for a friend in need, for a challenge worth facing, or for a cause worth defending.

Charles will be remembered for his bright smile, warm laughter, his integrity, and the quiet confidence that made people feel safe around him. His legacy lives on in the hearts of those he touched, the family who loved him dearly, and the many who called him a friend.
