BILLY DEAN GREEN
Aug. 15, 1948-Aug. 19, 2017
It is with heavy heart that the family of Billy Dean Green, 69, announces his passing Aug. 19, 2017.
Dean resided in Goldsboro, N.C., with his wife and best friend, Jane.
He was born Aug. 15, 1948, in Clinton, Mo.
Dean made a career in construction, excavation and hauling. He retired a Teamster.
He will be fondly remembered by those he leaves behind, his wife, Jane; sister, Jean; brothers, Jim (Liz), Larry and Roy (Martha); daughter, Tammy (John) of Jefferson City, Mo.; sons, Zachary (Jennie) of St. Louis, Mo., Alex (Michael) of Overland Park, Kan., and Jason of Minneapolis, Minn.; grandchildren, Eleanor "Ella," Lily and Damon; many nieces and nephews; and his pups, Sarge, Charger, Boots and Smoke, who are at home to watch over Jane.
They'll miss the slow, quiet days napping on his lap, interrupted by the occasional scratch behind the ear.
Dean will be best remembered for his generous, uninhibited desire to help his friends and family. He would travel thousands of miles to lend a hand at a moment's notice.
If you knew Dean, you knew you were a friend, and if you needed him, you would find that you were family, too.
He and Jane enjoyed spending time with family, traipsing about in search of good meals off the beaten path and in pulling their camper to NASCAR races, beaches and parks.
Dean loved cars, and owned more than a few. If you asked about his recently acquired 1966 High Country Special Mustang, the pride in his voice would be undeniable as he told of the car's pedigree and scarcity -- one of only 333.
A celebration of Dean's life was held at 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 26, in Olathe, Kan., the town where he and Jane met. It was held at McGinney and Frye Funeral Home, 105 E. Loula, Olathe, Kan., 66061.
