It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Christopher John Green, 51, of Joppa, Maryland, formerly of Fenelton, after a courageous battle with cancer. Chris passed away on November 18, 2024.
He was a 1991 graduate of Butler High School and a very proud graduate of Penn State University (We ARE!).
Chris is survived by his wife, Barbara M. Green and his stepsons, Ryan T. Henkin, Brandon D. Kays and Evan M. Kays. Chris was born in 1973, the son of John P. Green and Kathy Green of Butler county. In addition to his parents, Chris also leaves behind his siblings Greg Green (Amanda), Michelle A. Buzard (Anthony), Debbie M.Fallecker (Ben). He is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews, as well as beloved aunts, uncles, and extended family who will miss him dearly including his God-daughter, Samatha Tucker.
His career as a plastics engineer with Graham Packaging was a true passion, allowing him to travel across the country while doing work he loved.
Chris eagerly anticipated hunting season, cherishing the special week spent with his close-knit college 'framily.' He also took great joy in playfully cheering against his wife during the rivalry matchups between the Steelers and Ravens.
A funeral Mass will be celebrated Saturday, November 23, at 10 a.m. at St. John The Evangelist Roman Catholic Church, 668 Clearfield Rd., Fenelton, PA, with the Rev. Matt McClain, pastor of St. Francis of Assisi Parish, officiating. Interment will be in St. John Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, Chris would like for contributions be made to the Kaufman Cancer Center - https://www.umms.org/uch/giving/make-a-donation-online. Funeral arrangements are under the direction of the Hile Funeral Home of Chicora. Condolences may be sent by visiting www.hilefh.com.
