Paul Curtis Greene, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and brother met his Savior face to face on Thursday, December 4, 2025 surrounded by his family at his home in Stephenville, TX. He was 90 years old.
He was born in Eufala, Oklahoma on July 5, 1935 to James Greene and Lula Chitwood Greene, the eighth of nine children. Paul graduated from Eufala High School in 1953. He then served in the United States Air Force as a Payload Master, flying all over Southeast Asia. After the Air Force, he graduated from Northeastern Oklahoma State University where he met the love of his life, Kay Francis (Fine) Greene. They were married Sept. 9. 1961 in Tulsa, and moved to Clinton, MO where he was a high school football and golf coach. While in Clinton, Paul & Kay became the parents of three boys, James Patrick, Gregory Scott, and Jeffery Allen. While in Clinton, Paul was called to the ministry and moved his family to Fort Worth, Texas to attend Southwestern Seminary where he received a Master of Divinity degree. Paul went on to pastor churches in Paul's Valley, OK, Knob Noster, MO, Anchorage, Alaska, Tulsa, OK, and Kimberling City, MO.
Paul's greatest joys were coaching and mentoring young men on and off the football field, playing golf with his boys and ministering to all in the church, but especially the youth and senior adults. Paul never met anyone that he didn't welcome with a huge smile, a bear hug and an encouraging word.
Paul is preceded in death by his parents, son, Patrick, sisters, Louella, Wanda, Maxine, Betty, brothers, Fletcher, Gerald, Benjamin and grandsons Trevor Scott Greene and Braxton Paul Greene.
Paul is survived by his wife of 64 years, Kay, son, Scott and wife Lawna of Stephenville, son, Jeff and wife Stacey of Houston, brother, Mike Greene of Tulsa, daughter-in-law, Pamela Greene and special "adopted" son, Charles (Spanky) Redman and wife Angela. He is also survived by his grandchildren, Ryan Greene of Tulsa, Christopher Greene of Catoosa, OK, Lauren Greene of Stephenville, and Taylor Greene McCullough of Roanoke, TX. Great-grandchildren include Karsyn, Mason, Madison, Paizlee, and Presley. He is also survived by the whole of the Racer family and a host of cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Special thanks go to Dr. Benjamin Marcum, Solaris Hospice, nurse Tina Ivey Rodriguez and Visiting Angels nurse Kaity Fielder. Your care and kindness will not be forgotten.
A celebration of a life well lived will be held at FBC Kimberling City, Kimberling City, MO on January 9, 2026 at 11:00 am.
