Joshua James Green

Joshua James Green, age 39, of Biloxi passed away July 16, 2010. Born March 6, 1971, in Lawton Oklahoma, Josh was a lifelong resident of Biloxi. A devoted husband and father, he graduated from Biloxi High School where he played baseball. Josh went on to receive a degree in Industrial Engineering from the University of Southern Mississippi and was employed as a Senior Industrial Engineer at Northrop-Grumman Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, MS. Prior to accepting a position with Northrop-Grumman, Joshua worked in several disciplines for PFG Precision Optics in Ocean Springs. Those who knew Josh understood that after his deepest loves -- that for the love of his life, his wife Lindsey, and his son, Reese -- his next love was of fishing and the Gulf. He was an avid fisherman and began his love of the water as a small child, and had already instilled the love of the water in his young son. Josh was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Woodie and Bennie Lee Scarborough of Biloxi, and his paternal grandparents, William H. Green of Hamilton, AL, and Mildred Jones Green of Phil Campbell, AL. Josh is survived by his wife and son, Lindsey Turner Green and Reese James Green of Biloxi, his mother, Brenda Scarborough Green of Biloxi, his aunt, Mrs. James (Brenda) Scarborough, his father and step-mother, Larry H. and Cindy Green of Muscle Shoals, AL, his brother Robin Green and wife Laura of Hartselle, AL, stepbrother Shane Baker, Ryan Baker and wife Ashley, and stepsister Ashley Baker and nieces and a nephew, all of Muscle Shoals, AL. Visitation will be held Thursday, July 22, 2010 from 4:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. with a memorial service to follow. Both at Bradford-O’Keefe Funeral Home, 675 Howard Avenue, Biloxi, MS. In lieu of flowers, the family prefers donations to the Reese James Green Scholarship Fund at any Hancock Bank location.
