Paul Green ‘79

Paul Arthur Green of Columbus, Ohio passed away unexpectedly on October 24, 2023. He was born on August 28, 1960, and was a beloved brother, a devoted son, and a cherished friend.

Paul is preceded in death by his mother and father Shirleen and Dr. Marvin Green. He is survived by his sister Keli (Kenneth), brothers Marvin and Michael (Lynda), and several uncles, aunts, nieces, and nephews whom he loved very much.

Paul was proud of the schools he attended, having graduated from St. Thomas the Apostle and St. Francis DeSales High school where he excelled at both football and track and field setting several records along the way.

Paul was an enthusiastic fan of Ohio State football, but his heart was with the University of Cincinnati Bearcats, his alma mater. Each new football season brought the hope of a national championship! It was also there where Paul joined Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity, where he forged friendships with fellow “Nupes” and classmates that would last his entire life.

Paul was an excellent outdoorsman. He learned to hunt at the side of his Grandpa William Conley and held that passion during his entire lifetime. Paul also enjoyed golfing and was always willing to share detailed stories of his numerous holes-in-one (3), especially to his brother Mike who has zero. Paul’s adventurous spirit and love for these pursuits enriched his life and brought joy to those who had the privilege of joining him.

He will be fondly remembered for his kind and gentle spirit by a multitude of friends and extended family members whose lives he touched.

In the wake of Paul’s passing, may we remember the light he brought into our lives and the enduring friendships he forged. His memory will continue to live on in our hearts as we reflect on the moments we shared and the indelible mark he left on so many.
