David Y. Greene, 84, of Morganton, NC went to his Heavenly Home on Sunday, January 12, 2025. He was born on October 15, 1940 in Caldwell County to the late Turner Greene and Dulce Younce Greene. David was a member of Hartland Missionary Methodist Church and volunteered as the church bus driver. He was a veteran of the US Army. David worked in several furniture factories and was also a mechanic. He retired from the Burke/Caldwell Water Distribution Plant.

David was a man of extraordinary character, loving, kind, gentle, and deeply devoted to the Lord. He showed his love for God in the way he loved others and always putting his family first. He worked tirelessly to provide for his loved ones with a servant’s heart.

His presence spoke volumes, always showing up and making sure his loved ones felt cared for and supported. He was a man who found joy in the simple things in life yet left an immeasurable impact in everyone who knew him. He will always be deeply loved and greatly missed.

In addition to his parents, David was preceded in death by his wife of fifty-nine years, Barbara Ann Greene; son, Ricky D. Greene; brothers, Tom, Bobby and Danny Greene; sisters, Velma, Virginia, Viola and Vandella.

He is survived by his daughter, Cathy Lynn Suttles and husband, Ronnie Suttles; granddaughter, Kira Suttles; sister, Mary Ellen; and numerous nieces and nephews.

The family will receive friends from 1-2pm Thursday, January 16, 2025 at Hartland Missionary Methodist Church. The funeral will begin at 2pm in the church with Rev. Danny Carr and Evangelist Jamie Parsons officiating. Burial will follow in the Houck Family Cemetery. Military honors will be provided by the NC National Guard and Caldwell County Veterans Honor Guard.
