Melvin led a distinguished life of service. He served in the United States Army during the Vietnam Era and was a Disabled American Veteran. He retired as a Lieutenant after 25 years of service with the Gadsden Police Department; then completed an additional 12 years of service to our country with Homeland Security. He also served on the HOPE Home Board of Directors. A friend to everyone; his character, integrity, and courage were an inspiration to many youths who followed in his career path. He was very generous and kind to everyone—especially his family. An excellent husband, father, father-in-law, and grandfather...he lit our paths and had our backs.
Melvin was preceded in death by Parents Melvin Alton Green, Audrey Humphrey Green; Sisters Illadean Conley and Monnie Jean Walker; Brother-in-Laws David Vaughn, Travis Johnson and Seven (7) Green Uncles. He is survived by adoring wife of 48 years, Sharon Maske Green; loving son, Michael S. Green (Wanda Warren Green) loving grandsons Blake Green (Lauren) and Dax Green; brother Rickie Green (Donna); sisters Dot Johnson (John Sullivan) and Barbara “Penny” Vaughn; several nieces and nephews and uncountable friends.
