Mr. Green was born September 30, 1942 in Nacogdoches, Texas, and passed away peacefully at his home Tuesday, November 19, 2024 at the age of 82. He was a graduate of Chireno High School and Stephen F. Austin State University. He was a member of Denman Avenue Baptist Church.

He spent his professional career as a Certified Public Accountant in private practice before venturing into Commercial Real Estate as a partner of GSV Properties. Later in his career, he remained actively involved in Residential Real Estate, where he found joy in helping families discover their perfect homes.

A lifelong devoted community member of Lufkin, he contributed his time and talents to various organizations. In his earlier years, he was active in the Lufkin Jaycee’s and spent many years volunteering with the Chamber of Commerce, where he particularly enjoyed participating in the Texas Forest Festival alongside his friend Jerry Huffman. Most recently, he served the City of Lufkin on the Planning and Zoning Commission.

Throughout his life, Keith had a wide range of personal interests. As an avid reader, he stayed up late into the night immersed in literature, reading every book written by Stephen King as well as countless other authors. He once raised Registered Red Brahman cattle, enjoyed riding motorcycles with his Saturday morning breakfast friends, and spent the later part of his years traveling in his Foretravel motor home all over the country.

He cherished drinking coffee at Lone Star Charlies with friends. He deeply valued all his friendships, especially enjoying time with his lifelong friends over the years. He especially appreciated time spent with Abe Swan and RG Bowers.
