Reverend John D. Green, Sr., of Stanwood, Washington, passed from this life to a life with his Father in Heaven on June 28, 2018. John was born January 17, 1947 in Flint, Michigan to Hubert "Bus" Green and Lois Green Watson. Shortly after his birth, Bus died as a result of brain cancer. Lois remarried Norman R. Watson. An avid organizer and tinkerer, John was known to say, "I can't believe it worked" after repairing, without formal training, anything from the family dishwasher to his computer.
John served as a pastor for the Free Methodist Church in Iowa, Kansas, and Washington for many years. After his retirement, he served to Officiate at weddings and funeral until his death.
John was preceded in death by both of his fathers, his mother, and his brother, William "Bill" H. Green. He is survived by his loving wife of 51 years, Kay M. Green; sons, JD Green and wife Alison, Russell L. Green and wife Anna; sisters, Kathryn V. Hixon and husband Don, Sally J. Metzger and Husband Roger; brother, David M. Watson.
