Michael Ellis Green, born on May 30, 1947, in San Antonio, Texas, lived a life marked by service and family. A career military man, Michael dedicated the first half of his life to serving his country as a member of the United States Army. He retired from military service in 1987, closing a significant chapter of dedication and commitment. Following his military career, Michael devoted 20 years to working at Capital Metro, continuing his commitment to service through another important chapter of his life.
Michael is survived by his beloved wife of 42 years, Irma Green, with whom he shared more than four decades of life's journey, and his twin sister, Margaret Ann Green.
Michael was preceded in death by his parents, Henrietta James and Milton Ellis Green; his bonus mother, Johnie Mae Green; and his siblings, Morgan Ellis Green, Mildred Scott, and Mandy Williams. Their memories remain a cherished part of his family's story.
Beyond his service to his country, Michael's legacy lives on through the family he leaves behind. He was the father of two children, Viena Green and Michael (Mary) Green, Jr., and a loving bonus father to Elizabeth Lugaro, Geniva (James) Bundrige, and Harold (Ruth) Edwards. Together, they represent the family bonds and connections that remain an enduring part of his life story.
Michael is survived by his grandchildren: Sydni Mayo, Valerie Monique Lee, Kayla Owens, Gregory Bundrige, Sean Bundrige, Corey, and Marcus Edwards; his four great-grandchildren; and the many nieces and nephews who were part of his life. He shared a special bond with Loretta and Curtis Eagle, and Tracy and Derek Scott, who held a special place in his heart. The love, memories, and family connections they shared will continue to be treasured for generations to come.
Michael was a quiet man who found joy in life's simple pleasures, particularly watching movies and spending time with his family. These moments, shared with the people he loved, remain a meaningful part of his life story. Though his journey has come to an end, his memory will remain with those who knew him and those who will continue to honor his life and cherish the values and memories he leaves behind.
He will be laid to rest at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery in San Antonio, Texas, a fitting tribute to a man who devoted a significant part of his life to military service.
Rest in peace, Michael Ellis Green. Your service, your life, and your legacy will not be forgotten.
