Mr. Green was born Aug. 27, 1947, the son of Andrew James Green and Rosie Lee Hattix Green.

He was affectionately called “Sonny” by his family.

In his 68 years of life on this earth, Louis was a devoted family man, great friend and public servant. While a man of few words, he brought joy to all those who knew and loved him. At an early age, he accepted Christ and joined the Church of God in Christ, later joining the Jessamine Ridge Baptist Church where he remained a member until his death.

Educated in the public schools of Jefferson County, Louis went on to dedicate himself to a career at home. Although described as a jack of all trade, and a man who wore many hats, he worked as a county road worker until he was elected to the Jefferson County Board of Supervisors in 1992. He served the citizens of district one for 16 years, including a term as board president.

Those who knew and loved Louis described him as humble, kind, caring, righteous and upright. He was a protector, perfectionist and provider. The greatest names he loved to be called was son, husband, daddy, paw-paw, brother, brother-in-law, uncle and friend. Family was everything to him.

Mr. Green was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Louis “Buddy” and Beatrice Hattix; aunt, Valeria Wesby and husband, Monroe; beloved cousin, Charles Wesby; favorite uncle, Edward Stewart; one sister, Barbara Bailey Thompson; and niece, Euretta LeQuita Matthews.
