John Richard "Johnny" Greene

On Saturday, June 5, 2021 John Richard “Johnny” Greene went to be with his Lord after a long battle with cancer.

He was the son of the late Claude Arlo and Ruth Rogers Greene. He was preceded in death by a brother, Reuben, and a sister, Ethelene Greene Huggins.

Johnny worked his early career in manufacturing and tool and die, and later started Fletcher Well Drilling. He was known in the community as a man who would help anyone in need. He almost always had a loyal four-legged companion, Honey or Scotty, riding shotgun in his work truck. He was loved and will be missed by many.

Johnny is survived by his devoted wife of 61 years, Barbara Wilkie Greene; a son, Steve Greene (Pam) of Snellville, GA; a daughter, Sandy Greene of Chesnee, SC; two grandchildren: Maddie and Zach; and three great grandchildren: Richard, Taylor, and Logan. He is also survived by brothers David (Millie), Floyd (Anne), Nathan, Allen, and Curtis Greene (Mike); and sisters Geraldine Graham and Wanda Robertson.

A funeral service will be held at 2:00 PM on Tuesday, June 8, 2021 at Fletcher First Baptist Church with Pastor Roy Waldroup officiating. Burial will follow in Tweed’s Chapel Cemetery. Friends will be received at the church 1 ½ hours prior to the service, from 12:30 until 2:00 PM.
