Ronald Green Obituary

Published by Legacy on Sep. 19, 2025.
Ronald Paul Green entered the arms of his Savior on May 13, 2025, at the age of 72. He is now joyfully reunited in eternity with his beloved wife, Paula, and their son, Paul.
Ron lived a life marked by quiet strength, deep compassion, and unshakable faith. He never knew a stranger-his kindness and generosity extended to everyone he met. Whether it was offering a helping hand, a listening ear, or a place to belong, Ron made people feel seen, valued, and loved. He was a father to the fatherless, a friend to many, and a servant-leader who led by example.

Ron's greatest joy came from his family, and his legacy continues through his sons and their families: Nathan and Jenilee, and their children Mia, Elliot, Lucas, Eila, and Olivia; Jeremy and Jennifer, and their daughters Kate and Ava; Josh and Amy, and their children Harper, Marshall, and Eleanor; Mark and Leah, and their children Linus, Logan, Lucy, and Genevieve; Jonathan and fiancée Darby Barton. Ron is also survived by his brother, Tom Green, and sister-in-law Verna.

His life's work and ministry were devoted to reaching those in prison with the hope and love of Jesus. Through countless hours of service, Ron built relationships, restored dignity, and pointed people toward redemption. His prison ministry touched the lives of thousands, many of whom found new life because of his faithfulness.

A memorial service to celebrate Ron's life and legacy will be held at Graceway Church, 5460 Blue Ridge Cutoff, Kansas City, MO 64133, on Saturday, May 31st. Visitation begins at 10:00 AM, followed by the service at 11:00 AM.

To honor his heart for ministry, the family asks that in lieu of flowers or plants, donations be made to The Keys at the Cross, continuing the mission that Ron held so dear. Donations can be sent to P.O. Box 18445 Raytown, MO 64133.
