Obituary

Rickey Wade Green, 66, of Bethel Springs, Tennessee passed away on Thursday, August 27, 2026. He was born on February 6, 1960, in Memphis, Tennessee to the late Jim Green and Geraldine Everett Brown.

On April 22, 2016 Rickey was united in marriage to Debbie Stout Kiser. Together building a life filled with love, family, and countless cherished memories.

He will be remembered as a loving husband, devoted family man, and a man who enjoyed making memories with those he loved. He had a lifelong passion for music and was a member of the Highway Bound Band in the 1980s and later the Southbound Band, where he enjoyed playing at events throughout the county.

He was an avid football fan, especially the Tennessee Titans, and enjoyed metal detecting for old coins. He also loved professional wrestling, concerts, cookouts, and most of all, spending time with his family—especially his granddaughters. He and Debbie first met at a wrestling event in Ramer, beginning with a love story that became an important part of his life.

He spent his final days at home, surrounded by the love and presence of his family, and passed away peacefully.
