Rodney “Rod” Wayne Green (50), All are invited to a Memorial Celebration of Rod Green’s life to be held in a place he loved - the main arena of the Grand Coulee, Washington Ridge Rider Rodeo Grounds at 1:00pm, Saturday, September 29, 2012.
On September 10, 2012 Rod quietly passed away in Grand Coulee, Washington surrounded by his loving family following a courageous battle with cancer. Rod was born in Coulee Dam, Washington on May 18, 1962 just minutes apart from his twin brother Ron.
A graduate of Lake Roosevelt High School where he was a standout wrestler, Rod was always active and loved to make people laugh, and for eight years put these attributes to good use as a rodeo clown in Grand Coulee and throughout eastern Washington. Rod and his family lived in Newberg, Oregon the past twenty years where he was proud of his work as a mechanic for Les Schwab Tire, and so enjoyed attending Northside Community Church. He was always extremely positive, never knew a stranger and loved dancing – especially western swing. When not socializing with anyone who crossed his path, Rod loved spending time in the mountains camping and hunting, especially in the Oregon Cascades and Trask Mountain and fishing where-ever they were biting.
Rod’s legacy lives on through his children: Brettney Michelle Green and Nick McGraw; father: Ray Green (Brenda); mother: Marie Estes (Robert); twin brother: Ron D. Green; sister: Debbie Akin (Tom); six nieces and nephews and his many, many friends.
His family requests that any donations be made in Rodney’s name to the American Cancer Society, PO Box 22718, Oklahoma City, OK 73123-1718 or at www.cancer.org
An on-line register book will be available at www.stratefuneralhome.com
Strate Funeral Home of Grand Coulee, WA is honored to be serving Rod’s Family.
