Jesse William Green

On Christmas morning our beautiful son lost his battle to addiction. He fought this demon with all that he had.

He was born Feb. 25 1982 to James and JoAnn Green in SLC. Jesse was a member of the LDS Church and had a strong love and testimony of our savior Jesus Christ. Jesse had a wonderful sense of humor and was always the life of the party. He was a great brother and loved his siblings. He loved children, especially his 4 nieces: Jada, Oakley, Savanna, and Tristyn.

Jesse graduated from Olympus HS class of 2000. He was a very gifted athlete and lettered in soccer and wrestling. Jesse was a great poet and expressed his feelings on paper. Jesse, we know that you are at peace and in the loving arms of our heavenly father.
