December 09, 2025

Jack Hoyt Green, passed
away on the 24th of October,
2025, at the age of 95.
Mr. Green was born in
Alabama on Jan. 10, 1930,
and lived a life marked by a
steadfast commitment to his
family and the land.
He leaves behind his wife,
Peggy (Johnson) Green; his
sons Gary Green and Jay
Green (Rhonda); his sister,
Linda Brand; his grandchil-
dren Landi Lanier, Taylor
Green, Brittany Shirley, and Hunter Green; and his
great-grandchildren Beckham Lanier and Carter Green;
and host of nieces and nephews. Mr. Green was preced-
ed in death by his parents, Lonnie and Ludie Green; his
brothers Howard and John Green; his sisters Bunny
Floyce Green, Hildreth Doty, Bobbie Hale, and Lonnie
Faye Howd; and his daughter-in-law Gayle Green.
Mr. Green attended the High Rock First Congregation-
al Methodist Church, where he practiced his faith with
quiet dignity and grace. His life was a living example
of the virtues he held dear: hard work, integrity, and
the importance of family. His love for farming was
matched only by his enjoyment of hunting, fishing, and
baseball—a sport in which he actively participated for
44 years. He took great pride in watching his grand-
kids play sports. Singing with his family brought him
immense joy and was a testament to the close-knit bond
they shared.

from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Blount County/ Cleveland Fu-
neral Home Chapel in  Cleveland. On Tuesday, Oct. 28,
2025, Mr. Green was to lie in state at the High Rock First
Congregational Methodist Church from 10 a.m. until the
funeral service at 11 am. The service will pay homage to
a life well-lived and a man deeply loved, as we com-
mend him to his final rest.
Pallbearers were Hunter Green, Taylor Green, Jacob
Shirley, Beckham Lanier, Justin Green, Chance Fell,
Steve Green, and Conrad Horton.
