Grover Michael Greene

GREENE, Grover Michael, age 82, passed away peacefully April 5, 2025. He was born January 31, 1943 in Dayton, Ohio; the son of the late Col. (Ret.) Grover and Betty (Martin) Greene. Along with his parents, Mike is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Lynda Lee (West) Greene; brother, Jim Greene; sister, Mary Jo Greene; and daughter-in-law, Tricia Greene. Grover is survived by his sister; Cheryl Greene; children, Michelle (Kent) Wareham and Brian Greene; grandchildren, Morgan (Craig) Ardner, Kade Wareham, Caroline Greene, and Ellen Greene; and numerous extended family members and friends.

Mike proudly served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War and carried that service with honor throughout his life. As a longtime member of American Legion Post #619, he served as an honor guard member for many years, embodying the spirit of dedication and patriotism. Mike could be found relaxing with a classic Western film or cheering on his favorite Formula One and Indy racing teams. His love for the thrill of the race and the nostalgia of the old West brought him joy, and those moments will be fondly remembered by those who knew him. Mike is missed dearly by his family and friends who cherish the memories they shared with him.

Mike will be laid to rest at Woodland Cemetery privately by his family. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made out to Project Healing Waters, 913 E Fillmore St, Colorado Springs, CO 80907, in memory of Mike.
