Carl Edward Green

Carl Edward Green, of Houston, Texas went home to be with the Lord, his Savior, on January 22, 2022. Carl was born in Galveston, Texas on October 16, 1936 to Colonel Carl Edward Green and Lillian Watts Green. Carl is survived by the love of his life of 64 years, Jimmye Frances Hubbell Green, his daughter Kathe Green Baker and her husband Matt, his daughter Melissa Green Smith and her husband Stacy Smith; 6 Grand-children; Austin Baker and his wife Lauren Baker, Barbara Baker Jones and her husband Nathan Jones, David Baker, Sophia Smith, Carlton Smith and Winston Smith; seven Great grand-children; Tucker, Madeline and Liam Jones, and Brooklyn, Teddy, Boone, and Houston Baker. His brother Van Watts Green and his wife Marcy, and many extended family cousins and dear friends.

Carl was a graduate of the University of Texas in 1959 earning a BBA in Industrial Management. Carl's principle businesses were in the sales of process equipment to USA Engineering and Construction Companies and Oil Companies. He facilitated agreements and and joint ventures made with partners in local and international construction services. Carl's ability to cultivate meaningful relationships combined with his ability to apply Biblical principles in business dealings and in all of life gave him a reputation "of being a man after God's own heart." (1 Samuel 13:14) It is this heart, a heart that was called by God to know Him at the age of 48, when he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior that radically changed his life to follow after Christ. Carl began in earnest to share the Hope of salvation through Jesus to all who would listen. Carl traveled to family, friends and would share this Good News as well as prayed daily for opportunities to talk with anyone that God placed in his path. Carl had a passion for all to come to Christ-the number of those who did pray with him to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior are too numerous to count.

Carl, aka "Big Bear", was the best husband, father, father-n-law, grand-father, great grand-father and friend - our hearts are overflowing with thanksgiving for his life and the legacy he leaves us. His unconditional love for his family has been such a beautiful example of God's unconditional love poured out to all of us. We thank god for blessing us with "this lion of a man' who was unashamed of the Gospel-The Good News of Jesus!Romans 1:16 "For I am unashamed of the Gospel for it is the power of God salvation for everyone who believes," To God be the glory!
