Jack Leon Green

Jack Leon Green, 87, born on August 25, 1938, in Gaston County, NC, passed away peacefully at his residence on January 1, 2026, surrounded by his loving family. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and a proud member of his community. Jack's tenure in sales in the machine parts industry was marked by dedication and commitment, a career he cherished until his retirement.

As a Godly man, Jack deeply loved the Lord. He found joy in preaching and singing the gospel, fervently sharing his faith and witnessing to others about God. His passion for his beliefs was evident not only in his words but also in the way he lived his life. Jack was a proud member of the Dallas Church of the Living God, where he treasured the fellowship of his Pastor and church family.

Family was at the core of Jack's existence. He is survived by his loving and devoted wife of 49 wonderful years, Gloria Bailey Green; his children, Lori (Tim) Hamrick, Jody (Donna) Green, Debbie Martin, Jeanie (John) Baldwin, and Tony Butner; along with his sixteen grandchildren, nineteen great-grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren. Jack's legacy will live on not just through his love for his immediate family but through the countless lives he inspired through his faith and kindness.

Preceding him in death were his parents, Floyd "Jack" McKinley Green and Helen Beatrice Walker Green; his grandchildren, Amber Green and Eric Green; his son, Richard D Green; and his sisters, Jerie Green and Susie Ballard.

Jack had a zest for life that extended beyond his family and faith; he enjoyed playing golf whenever he had the chance. His generosity of spirit and unwavering dedication to his loved ones and his beliefs created a strong, lasting impact on all who knew him.
