Max Julian Green

On Monday morning, November 28, 2022 Max Julian Green resigned from his fight with leukemia and passed peacefully surrounded by his family. He had reached his goal of seeing his 70th birthday.

Max was born on July 18, 1952 in Ogden, Utah to Julian Richie Green and Beverly Fay Wakefield Green. Max had five younger sisters and four daughters which gave him great insight into the female mind.

Max married his high school sweetheart, Debra Louise Rogers. They were married

48 years and had eight grandchildren.

Max served 27 years in the US Army Reserves where he formed life-long friends. He

dedicated six years of his time as the Bishop of the Roy 2nd Ward. His sincere and generous nature were greatly appreciated by the community, most memorably the widows and their boxes of chocolates at Christmas.

Max was a wonderful dad but shined as a grandpa, never missing a game, musical performance, or dance recital. Max played baseball though out his life and loved the game. He lettered on the Roy High School baseball team. Along with his three

oldest grandsons and son-in-law, during a weeklong trip to New York City Max was able to complete a bucket list wish to attend 2 Yankees baseball games. The Yankees are his favorite team; Mickey Mantle his favorite player. Max said it was a spiritual experience.

Since becoming sick he spent hours of “man time” with his friends from high school and the Army Reserves, and lunch dates with ladies from the school district. He cherished the time to reminisce with these lifelong friends.

Max was a quiet, gentle spirit with the rare gift of loving unconditionally. We will miss

his sharp, dry sense of humor. May you rest in nostalgic reverence.

Max was preceded in death by his father, mother and sister Emily Green. He is survived by his devoted wife, Debra Louise Rogers; children, Millie (Adam) Pfaff, Samantha, Hannah, Kelsey (Ross) Beecher; his grandchildren Julian Richard Pfaff, Harrison Max Pfaff, Olivia Pfaff, Aiden Jack Pfaff, Karen Pfaff, Violet Beecher, Clara Beecher, Emanuel Killinsight Pfaff; sisters, Anne (Paul) Buys, Marie (Gary) Tolman, Julie (Dale) Allen, Charlette (Jeff) Woody.
