Life Reflections

" And God, shall wipe all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, for the former things are past away."          Revelations 21:4

On April 19, 2025, the call of the Heavenly Father came peacefully and took our loved one to his heavenly home.

David Lee Green was born to the late Edna Blake-Green and the late Samuel Green on January 5, 1973 at the Medical University of South Carolina.

Affectionately known as "Smoke", "Dave", "Frankie D" and "Prez". He attended the public schools in Charleston County, and later graduated from Lincoln High School Class of 1991.

After graduation, David attended Claflin University in Orangeburg, South Carolina where he became a proud member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Incorporated in 1995 and obtained his Bachelors of Science Degree in 1998.

David had several jobs after college, but his passion was always helping and mentoring kids. He taught at Rivers Middle School in Charleston, SC for several years. David knew that this was his calling. If he couldn't help you, he wouldn't hurt you.

David's journey began in Georgetown, South Carolina, where he worked for the Associated Marine Institute. He worked for AMI for 26 years. He traveled near and as far as Albuquerque, New Mexico. He loved his kids at every facility where he directed. David dedicated many years empowering, mentoring and guiding children from all over. He was a man of integrity and knew that helping kids was his purpose.

David professed his faith in Jesus and was baptized at Lily Pond Missionary Baptist Church in the year of 2000.

David's unwavering devotion to his family and belief in God showed through the life he lived. "I may not attend church as much as I should, but I know that there is a higher power." His love for his family and faith will always be remembered as a source of comfort and inspiration.
