Timothy Greene Obituary

I've only just learned of Mr. Green's passing and while I did not have the pleasure of knowing him very well or long, I will always remember him very fondly from my time at SHS...Mr. Green selflessly took time away from work to drive me home from school and back to tend to my security alarm which had suffered a short (I lived a goodly distance from school, so his kind gesture spoke volumes about his character). My thoughts and prayers are with Vondra (a former co-worker of mine) and his loving family. RIP Mr. Green...you were a class act.

Thank you for the memories at SHS, you will be missed. Class of 1977. My thoughts and prayers are with the family, Mr. Greene was a great teacher. (Susan Wooten)

So sorry to hear that he has passed on. I found a yearbook photo that I wanted to share, he was a great friend and mentor to all of the students! Peace and love for his family and all the lives he touched!

Goodbye until later Mr. Greene. You were an influence on my life and I appreciate your presence as a teacher, mentor, advisor, and peer. I will see you again.

To Mrs. Greene, Latasha, Lavondra, and Ms. Nix: Leonard Pryor and family send there deepest condolences. Mr. Greene was truly a child of God, he touched the lives of all who knew him. He was a good person, who will be sadly missed by all. May God bless you and keep you and your family during this difficult time.

To Mrs. Greene, Latasha, Lavondra, and Ms. Nix, you have my deepest sympathy. Mr. Greene taught, and disciplined me at Gregg Intermedaite. When I first met Mr. Greene, I just moved to Ridgeville in 1990 from Miami. The first thing Mr. Greene did was smile and said to me that I better come and hug his neck, because you are my cousin! He welcomed me with opened arms. He was a wonderful person full of joy everytime that I saw him. He will be missed. Just remember that he is going to a home that was NOT made by man, so that he can eat and drink in that land flowing with milk and honey. He will ALWAYS be in my heart. Remember that EVERYTHING will be alright.

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

To Deloris and family during this time of sorrow I send my deepest condolences keeping you in my praises and remember that the Grand Architect of Universe has a plan. My life has been better from knowing Tim, Mr. Greene, as we called him. He was the math teacher that helped me better understand math and turned the light on for me. He will truly be missed.
Our challenge is life is to do the right thing “to the right people, to the right extent, at the right time, with the right motive, and in the right way” and Tim did accomplish that.

To the Greene Family, My prayer are with you during this time of great pain. Just know that Jesus Christ is with you.His leadership with always seen in this world.By the way he touch all the lives of the staff and students.

TIM: WAKE-UP! THIS IS NO TIME TO PLAY. NO ANSWER. IT'S YOUR CUZ LIL'BUBBA STILL NO ANSWER. THE FINAL CHAPTER HAS BEEN WRITTEN ON EARTH BUT THE BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES WILL LIVE ON. WE HAD FUN AT AUNT MATTIE STORE, HANGING OUT AND BIBLICAL TIME WAS DESIGNED BY GOD TO KEEP US. I THANK GOD FOR HIS GRACE AND MERCY. PEACE BE STILL TIL I SEE YOU IN HEAVEN.

May The Greene & Nix Family find peace knowing that others are thinking and praying for all of you during your hour of breavement.

There are not many Mr. Greenes in this world. He was my math teacher at Summerville High. He explained math so clearly to all of us and made sure everyone "got" what he was teaching. Teaching was not his job, it was his passion. That was evident in his day-to-day life. The love and respect students felt for him was abundant. He was a class act. May God bless you Mrs. Greene, Natasha, and Vonnie. Know that there are many arms of love around you. Love, Karen

To Mrs. Green, Tasha, and Vondra,

Thank you all for sharing your husband and father with all the students that he inspired and encouraged along the way. He was someone that definitely had a love for his students and genuinely loved his job. Keeping you all in prayer.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

To the Green family; we all are at a lost, but we will remember his bless and full life. I am just one of hunderds and thousands of Summerville High students.Class of 1981 Oddie Smalls

MR. GREENE WAS ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS THAT I HAVE EVER HAD. HE ALSO TELLS YOU YOU CAN DO IT. HE WAS THE ONE WHO GOT ME TO LIKE MATH HE COULD TEACH HIS CLASSES WITHOUT OPENING HIS BOOK.

REST IN PEACE MR.GREENE AND THANKS FOR EVERYTHING.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

Tim Greene was an excellent role model for young people; he demonstrated daily that knowledge, manners, and a sense of humor could bring respect and deep friendships. He was a true southern gentleman and will be missed by all who knew him and were influenced by him. My deepest sympathy to all the family, especially Natasha.

To the family of MR. Greene,
May God grant you peace during this time of loss. Mr. Greene was a gentle giant but would correct us when we were wrong. He was principal when I was at Alston oh so many yrs ago. He would always catch me doing something and ALWAYS tell me I'm gonna tell your momma! He wouldn't have any problems(that day) We need more Mr Greene's today! I pray that you look back on the memories of your loved one and know he touched so many lives in a very special way.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

To Delores, Tasha, Vonnie, and Cousin Catherine Nix (Tim's mother), our prayers continue to be with you all. God needed a special "flower" from His Garden on Thursday, and He picked one of the best - Timothy. We will miss him dearly for the person he was and the kindness he showed--keep smiling as he did. May God Bless this family with everything--never to leave us alone. Keep God near, and He will strengthen your hearts.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Campbell Thicket was a great neighborhood to grow up in. Tim Greene was one of the good guys, loved and respected by all. His life continued in that same style. I am proud to have known him. His was a life well lived. My love and prayers are extended to you, his family. May God continie to bless you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family during you time of loss. Mr. green will be greatly missed.

Just the sound of your name brings back great memories, I still remember talking to you about staying in school and making changes in my life for the better. I know that God brought you here to make an impression on our lives and am very greatful to have met you. Now let God be glorified and you return to your glorified body and enjoy your father in heaven!

For all my years teaching in District 2, Mr. Greene stands out as an administrator and a person who was dignified, kind, and supportive. He inspired teachers to be firm and caring. My condolences go out to Natasha and the rest of the family.

Tim Greene was always supportive of me while I taught at Gregg Intermediate with him. I routinely tell three or four of the funniest stories from Gregg that involved Tim dealing with students who had not behaved as they should. A big man, a larger heart. My sincerest condolences to the family.

Timothy Greene was my teacher in the early 70"s. Years later, he still remains the best teacher I ever had the privilege to study under. I always wished I had told him, but judging from other entries, he must have impacted other young lives similarly.
My condolences to the family.
Rest safely in God's hands, Mr. Greene.

To The Family and Friends of Mr. Timothy Greene,

Although your loss is great - just know that God's love is greater! Peace and Blessing to you all.
I am happy that I got to know Mr. Greene when I was a student at Summerville. The Summerville High School class of 1983 is thinking of you.

May you rest in the Lord's Hands. Love you Mr. Greene! Prayers to the Greene Family!

May the Lord forever keep you in His tender care! Rest on Mr. Greene, you will be missed.

I met Tim in one of the first years of integration in the Summerville schools.

Even as a student, it was clear to me that Tim was a man of great faith with a big heart who loved teaching and cared deeply about his students.

Later he was my administrator at Summerville Intermediate High School - Gregg Campus. I always knew that he would have a smile on his face and words of encouragement for me as a young teacher. Those memories live on in me and all the teachers,students, and parents he worked with over the years.

Mrs. Greene, Tasha, I know the many kindnesses and love he shared with you will live on throughout your lives as well. There is a part of me that can just imagine Tim telling us all the words in this poem below:

Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped away
into the next room.

I am I,
and you are you;
whatever we were to each other,
that, we still are.

Call me by my old familiar name,
speak to me in the easy way
which you always used,
put no difference in your tone,
wear no forced air
of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we shared together.
Let my name ever be
the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect,
without the trace of a shadow on it.

Life means all
that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?

I am waiting for you,
for an interval,
somewhere very near,
just around the corner.
All is well.

Isaiah 40:18-31
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Mr. Greene will always be remembered as a "Smooth Principal"... He disciplined with a smile on his face... Family, we will continue to keep you lifted in prayer.

My prayers go out to the family.I worked with Tim at Summerville Intermediate School for 20 years and got to know what a fine person he really was. Always willing to help a fellow teacher. He always had a smile on his face and a bounce in his step.
He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

Gone... but not forgotten. My sincerest condolences to the Greene/Mitchell family. I love you all.
