Johnny Van Green Obituary (1947 - 2013)

Johnny Van Green, adored husband to, Shirlene Adair Green and loyal father of nine fantastic children, passed away in the evening of October 27th 2013 from lung cancer at the Jordan Valley Hospital. John lived life to the fullest and enjoyed being around the things and people he loved the most. The "Green House 9" was always the "Lazy Jay Motel" as he would call it. Family conversations were often held in the dark with Matlock reruns in the background. John did not want to take life too seriously. Light-hearted interactions with everyone he met kept us all smiling. John was a top producing insurance agent, he served his country in the US National Guard and the Army Reserve, he gave his heart to his beautiful bride in the Salt Lake Temple and he raised a family determined to carry on his name. During the setting days of John's life, the family witnessed a kind and brave man depart from this earthly existence leaving behind a legacy of honor and love. Preceded in death by his parents Van Wilson Green and Norma Jean Smith Green. Survived by his wife Shirlene Adair Green. Brothers, Wilson Green (Sandy) and Robert Green. His children John Russell Green (JeongAe), Jennifer Densley (Ronnie), Melanie Williams, Adam Green (Ashley), Holly Marrott (Dave), James Green (Nicole), Mariette Evans (David), Andrew Green (Justine) and Aaron Green, and 20 most wonderful grandchildren.
