February 8, 2025
Bobby 'Bob" Nathaniel Green passed away on February 8, 2025, at the age of 77. Bob was born on July 17, 1947, in Morganton, NC. After he married Joyce Owenby Green at a youthful age, they shared a life of adventure with a focus on the family.
Bob owned and operated a service station, worked as a milk man then a bread man where he worked his way up from truck driver to regional manager then instead of retiring, he decided to sell cars as the next and last step in his career.
Bob and Joyce have lived many places in the mountains of North Carolina, Eastern Tennessee, a brief move to Northern Alabama and to the Florida Panhandle before deciding to move to Statesville, NC to be closer to their daughters and grandsons. They were married almost 60 years.
Bob was a member of Pinecrest Baptist Church in Johnson City, TN.
Bob was preceded in death by his son, Terry Green, his parents Troy and Esther Green and his brother Bill Green.
He leaves behind his very devoted wife, Joyce Owenby Green, his oldest daughter Janet Green Spicer (Matt), his youngest daughter Jennifer Green, and his three grandsons, Brett, Ty and Ryan who were a great joy to him. He also leaves behind many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Bob will be remembered for his dedication to his family, his hard work and to provide for them and his outstanding work ethic.
The family would like to give a special thank you to Dr. Daniel Bellingham and the wonderful staff at the Gordon Hospice House of Statesville, NC.
