Michael E. Green, 52, of Armbrust, passed away unexpectedly Thursday, March 1, 2018. He was born April 12, 1965, in Mt. Pleasant, son of the late Joseph E. and Marjorie E.(Weitzel) Green, who passed away April 4, 2005, and Dec. 1, 2002, respectively. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his first wife, Ronell (Grimm) Green, on May 9, 2009. Following graduation from Southmoreland High School, Class of 1983, he attended Pennsylvania State University for architectural engineering. Michael was employed at Oxford Development in Pittsburgh as project director of Construction and Development for the past eight years. Previously, he had established business colleagues he called "friends" across the miles from Berkshire Development, Dick's Sporting Goods, Kmart, Office Depot and several other companies. Two of Michael's most recent projects included The Yards and Hyatt House which won the Master Builder Association Craftmanship Awards. The evening of his death, Oxford was awarded the NAIOP Pittsburgh Best Mixed Use Development Award for 3 Crossings. The award was dedicated to Michael for his influence in its success. He took pride in his role in LEED development. He was a member of the Marion Lodge No. 562 Free and Accepted Masons and a member of North American Karate and Fitness in Mt. Pleasant, where he was preparing to test for his black belt. He attended Armbrust Wesleyan Church. A blind date led to a fairytale love story by blending two families to become one. He is survived by his loving wife and best friend, Jeanne (Wilkinson) Green; his daughters, Danielle S. Green and her fiance, Luke Furedy, of Los Angeles, and Keegan E. Miller and Jordan L. Miller, both of Armbrust. He is loved by his siblings, Joseph (Sally) Green, of Cranberry, Terry Lozada, of Delaware, Sandra (John) Markle, of Mt. Pleasant, Steven (Holly) Green, of Maryland, Jennifer (Craig) Martinelli, of Irwin, Emily (Edwin) Morris, of New York, Matthew (Holly) Green, of Connellsville; and numerous nieces and nephews; and aunts, Twila (Richard) Snyder, of Mt. Pleasant, and Teresa Weitzel, of California. Michael touched the lives and hearts of many along his journey through his tenderness, mentoring and kindness. His priority in life was filling his time with family moments, ATV adventures, sporting clay shooting, skiing, fly fishing and being a horse show dad. Michael lived life to the fullest. His genuine spirit brought out the best in everyone. Michael loved living his life on his Armbrust farmette, surrounded by his animals, especially his dogs, Riley, Cooper and Roscoe.
