Jerry “PaPa” Green
Jerry “PaPa” Green
On the morning of Sept. 7, Jerry "PaPa" Green passed away suddenly, at the age of 49, in his Antioch home, which he shared with his wife Rhonda Faye Flannighan-Green. Jerry was born in Louisiana but moved to California shortly afterward and met his wife Rhonda. Jerry was always known for cooking his famous BBQ for his family and grandchildren in the back yard of his home.

Jerry was a great man and he enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren, fixing them breakfast in bed when they came to visit for the weekend and making sure his wife never lifted a finger when it came to cooking or cleaning. Jerry was known for always having a big smile on his face and having faith in the Lord. Jerry was always the life of the party and enjoyed listening to his oldies but goodies on the radio.

Jerry was recently laid to rest and his family and friends celebrated his life the whole weekend. Jerry was like an uncle to me and he will definitely be missed. Jerry touched the lives and brought joy to everyone he ever met.

Jerry leaves behind his mother, a host of grandchildren, nieces, nephews and three stepsons, all who will miss him deeply.

Jerry, everyone in the family wants you to know that we love you and that you will always be PaPa. You may be gone, but never forgotten.

Wipe away your tears

by Apollonia Jordan

Don't cry for me
Wipe away your tears, family
For I have gone home to my creator
And He has forgiven me
Throw away the tissue and
Fill your hearts with smiles and laughter
For I am skipping with joy in heaven
Happily ever after
I know I left without a warning or sign
But never question God's plan
It was just my time
Wipe away your tears
Cuz I can see you crying
I know when you're asleep and when you're awake
And I want you to know that
I'm in heaven and I'm doing great
