Clyde Green
April 11, 1959 - April 8, 2006


Clyde was born on April 11th, 1959 at Puget Sound Hospital in Tacoma, the son of Clyde Emmett Green, Sr. and Janet Faye (Allee) Green. He married Brenda Lewellen 9/9/78 - divorced 11/4/84 - and remarried her 1/13/90. He wanted to be remembered as a good man, a wonderful husband and an awesome Dad - he was all that and more.

He resided in Mt. Vernon WA for the last 3 years of his life and was formerly from Stanwood, Lake Stevens, Tacoma and Kapowsin WA. He graduated from Bethel High School in Tacoma in 1977. He went through the Glaziers and Glassworkers apprenticeship program and became a journeyman with Local #188. He worked in many different aspects of glass work - including high rises in Seattle, residential work in Ballard, and a project in Honolulu, Hawaii.  He put in 23 years with the Glaziers & Glassworkers union. His most recent employer was Stanley Access Technology - putting in automatic doors across the state.


Clyde was diagnosed with a Glioblastoma grade 4 brain tumor on October 9, 2003. Clyde's union benefits allowed him to stay at home during his illness, with his wife Brenda, a registered nurse, providing full-time care. Family, close friends and Clyde's beloved dog Spot were at his side as he took his last breath as his loved ones prayed him into heaven. He turned his life over to the Lord at the age of 30 and felt an urgent need to share Jesus with many people. He recently told several family members and friends that he would be 'expecting' them in heaven. (He said he'd be saving spots for them up there).

Survivors include his loving wife Brenda (Lewellen), his awesome son Justin Green (age 13), his sister Carol Green and nieces Michelle Reddekopp and Kimberly Kopf and great nieces Amanda & Danielle Reddekopp and Courtney Kopf from the greater Tacoma area. Clyde was preceded in death by his Mother and Father.
