Donald Leroy Green was born on February 15, 1937 in Wister, Oklahoma to Evie Green, and left this earth for his heavenly home on December 14, 2025. Born again when he gave his life to the Lord in the Spring of 1994. He grew up along Long Creek just north of here, and attended school until the 8th grade at Bengal. He has hunted and rode mules in his home area all his life. In his younger days he was a bull rider and made every rodeo that he could get too. Don was 15 and competing in regular rodeo’s and placing nearly every trip out of the gate. So, when he tried to enter a junior rodeo, someone threw a fit and wouldn’t let him, because he competes in regular rodeos. His cowboy ways led him to west 49th road in Tulsa staying with a buddy to make a few rodeos. Don never met a stranger and found himself spending time across the road at Olen Gaston's house helping him with a few horses and there is where he met his wife, Ruth. They married and moved to Bengal and started a family.

Donald spent 27 years at Johnson Control in Poteau before retiring in 1997. He loved hog hunting, fishing, mule riding, camping, being on the lake in his younger years, and mostly spending time with family. He was stern and it did not matter what plans you had, you were going to load wood and stack brush while he cut multiple ricks of wood, because he was not satisfied unless he had a stack of wood 8 feet tall outback. I think all the kids and grandkids could testify to that. Don spent a lot of time fishing at the tower and bridge at Sardis. It was always a laugh when asked who caught the most fish between him and granny. I think many have heard the story of a group riding from Tulsa on equine. Don made that trip on ol’ Dusty who weighed 550lbs and carried him every step of the trip. That lil mule went on many trips and was passed down to several kids to learn how to ride. Roy was riding her when he was a young’un and she tripped and he fell off was the story he told we think he fell asleep and fell off her. Whichever, it was she just stopped and just stood there. The stories could go on forever, because he was always busy. Luckily, we have the memories and if you was their making them with him you know Don was one of a kind.

Donald is survived by his wife of 65 years Ruth, his daughter Teresa, his son Roger and wife Marsha and Shane and his wife Cyndi. His grandkids, Karie, Amber, Roy and his wife Kayla, Shaelyn and her husband Tanner, Ryan, Chance and his wife Kenie, Cheryl, and Ciera and her husband Jesse.
