A native of Loudoun County, Mike was born on May 4, 1938 in Middleburg, Va. He was predeceased by his parents, Marshall and Grace Green, also Loudoun County natives.

Mike leaves behind his loving and devoted wife of 46 years, Barbara Green; his only-child, Kelly Green Wing; son-in-law, Kevin Wing; and his two cherished grandchildren, Brandon (10) and Lauren (5). He loved spending time with his family, including his beloved dog, Winnie, who was at his side until the end. Mike was one of 11 children and leaves behind 5 loving sisters, Faye Wyne, June Costello, Joyce Cornwell, Alice Costello, and Bertha Gray, all residing in Fauquier County, and his dear cousin who was like a brother, Bobby Green, of Fairfax, Va. Mike had many nieces and nephews and was a good friend to many. His quick wit and sense of humor will be deeply missed.
