Don was born on February 7, 1929 to Clarence and Maude (Reeves) Green in Central City. Maude died after childbirth, so he was raised by LeRoy and Faye (Reeves) Manning (his aunt and uncle).

Don attended school at District #39, graduating from Central City High School in 1946. He then attended Central Nebraska College in Central City. He entered the United States Air Force in 1950 and was stationed at Oxnard Air Force Base in California.

Don married Marilyn Reimer on September 14, 1951 in Salt Lake City, Utah. They moved back to the farm outside Central City in 1954. Don was on the District #39 school board for many years. He was also a member of the American Legion, Masonic Lodge and the United Presbyterian Church. Besides farming, Don sold Pioneer seed corn for 29 years.

Those left to cherish his memory are his wife, Marilyn; his children, Sherry (Jim) Jaros of Springfield, and Kevin (Linda) Green of Grand Island; grandchildren, Jennifer (Terry) Hill, Randi (Dave) Offner, and Brad (Stefanie) Green; great grandchildren, Hadley Hill, Piper and Drake Offner, Evelyn and Graham Green, and one due in June; and sister, Rosemary Erlewine.

He was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Lucille Erlewine; and LeRoy and Faye Manning.

The family would like to extend their thanks and gratitude to the staff of Heritage and St. Croix Hospice who provided compassionate care to Don.
