Kenneth Green

December 27, 1938 - January 24, 2022

Kenneth "Ken" Green, faithful husband, loving father, grand and great-grandfather, and loyal friend passed into eternity on Monday, January 24, 2022. Ken met the love of his life, Karen, in 1984. They dated 7 years and married in May of 1991. Together they created a beautiful and welcoming home for their combined children, grandchildren and eventually great-grandchildren. Ken was a master electrician by trade, but his fun was had while searching for a bargain at flea markets and estate sales all over the South. He's famous among his family for buying a hammer at a yard sale for $10, and selling it less that 5 minutes later for $20. He was practical and some could almost say frugal, but his "always be prepared for anything" attitude was respected by all who knew him. He was known to share his stock of emergency supplies with neighbors and friends during whatever crises came along. His grandchildren and great-grandchildren will never forget riding on skis or tubes behind his boat all over Lake Weiss, fishing off the dock in the evenings, or playing pool while eating one of Karen's delicious pies or cakes. Ken's legacy of hard work, attention to detail, do it right the first time, and don't be dumb will live forever in the hearts of those who knew and loved him. There is no doubt this world is a better place because Ken Green was in it. Ken is survived by his wife of 30 years, Karen Johnson Green; Son Douglas Green; Daughters Sheila (Keith) Nichols and Judy (Doug) Hollandsworth; Step-son Don (Paige) Stoddard; Step-Daughter Kelle (Randal) Keller; 12 grandchildren and 13 great- grandchildren; and many dear friends and neighbors. He was preceded in death by his brother, Hollis Green. Kenneth L. Green was a native of Norcross, GA and the son of the late Claude and Adelia Green.
