William Scott Green

William Scott Green was born April 29, 1966, to William Douglas Green (deceased) and Mary Carleen Bennett.

Bill passed away in the early hours of October 31, surrounded by the loving care of his mother and Evelyn Porter.

Growing up, Bill found joy in music, rodeo, and football. Some of his fondest memories were the days spent with his Grandpa Jack, especially time spent farming. Those early experiences and memories remained an important part of his life.

In 1990, Bill moved to Mackay, Idaho, to work alongside his father. It was in Mackay where he quickly found his career in powerline construction, a profession that would become a significant part of his life.

Bill became a father for the first time on August 31, 1991, when Erica Layne Green was born. His family continued to grow with the arrival of Jacob Daniel Green on February 12, 1997; twins Dallin John Green and Caleb Scott Green on April 13, 2001; and, completing the family, Chase Michael Green on November 3, 2002.

His children were the greatest love of his life. Bill faced personal struggles throughout his years, and those struggles sometimes made it difficult for him to be the father he wanted to be. But his love for his children was never in question. They held a place in his heart that nothing else could fill.

Bill was preceded in death by his father, William Douglas Green, and his sister, Christi Green Spangler.

He is survived by his mother, Carleen Bennett Mannay; his sister, Julie Neihenke; his daughter, Erica Green; his sons, Jacob Green, Dallin Green, Caleb Green, and Chase Green; and his three grandchildren, Lennox, Dash, and Goldie.

Bill's life was one of both joys and challenges, and like all of us, his story was imperfect. He will be remembered for the memories he made, the passions he carried, his connection to family, and the love he held for his children.

May he find the peace that was sometimes difficult to find in life.
