Roy Wayne Green, age 87, loving husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, passed away on Monday the 30th of June in San Angelo, Texas. Roy was born on July 24th, 1937, in San Angelo Texas.
Roy attended San Angelo Central High School and walked on the wild side where he rode bare back broncs for a short time. He married Margaret Bennett on January 12, 1958. Roy attended ASU and studied architecture. Roy served in the Army National Guard Reserves for over 10 years and was active duty during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Upon returning to San Angelo, Mr. Green became a home builder for a short period. Always wanting a challenge, he started Aero Weapons, a government contracting business that he grew and ran with his wife Margaret for over 20 years. He soon got the “oil” bug and became an independent oil and gas producer. Being self-taught and hardworking, Roy survived the good and bad times of the oil/gas business always with a positive “can do” attitude. Roy Sr. was a devoted husband, father and grandfather, who was so proud of his family and what he had accomplished. Although a workaholic, he found and made the time for his family.
Whether making the rodeo circuit with Lisa, making handmade rubber band guns in the garage for Roy Jr. and all his friends or buying hamster after hamster for Vicki, he was there when it mattered.
He was proceeded in death by his parents Charles and Margaret (Jo) Green. Roy is survived by his wife Margaret, children Vicki Frazier and husband Bobby, Roy Green Jr. and husband Nick, Lisa Gonzales and husband Richard. Grandchildren Amber Almeida and husband Antone, Alex Gonzales, Max Gonzales and Apollo Gonzales and great grandsons Aaron Almeida, Ethan Avalos and preceded in death great granddaughter Abby Almeida. Also survived by two sister-in-law’s, Kay Long and Nelle Irvine as well as two cousins Gene and George Green from Austin.
Roy will be remembered for his unique, sometimes colorful sense of humor. His loud and commanding voice, his sometimes stretch of the truth and storytelling. He will be remembered as someone who worked hard and taught his children to do the same. A man that had his integrity and honor and whose word meant something. He cherished his friends and was always the perfect gentlemen. Roy loved to cook and was famous for his hot rolls and liked to have his dishes rated on a scale of 1-10. Roy was a 10 on our scale. A conservative man, but who was accepting, generous and giving and who had a heart the size of Texas. Roy struggled with Dementia in his later years, but his wit, charm and love shown through. The family wishes to extend their gratitude to Melissa, Vivian, Maria & Clinton who provided loving home health care and support.
Friends are cordially invited to a celebration of life reception with the family on Wednesday 7/2/25 from 5pm-7pm at Harpers Funeral Home. Interment will be at Lawnhaven cemetery with military honors for family only on 7/3/25.
