A house RESOLUTION

 

TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE PASSING OF THE HONORABLE ALFONIA "Al" GREEN OF ESTILL AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.

 

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were deeply saddened by the passing of the Honorable Alfonia "Al" Green of Estill on April 28, 2024, at the age of fifty-six; and

 

Whereas, born on April 2, 1968, the young Al Green graduated from Estill High School in 1986. In pursuit of further education, he attended Bishop College in Texas and later transferred to Savannah State University; and

 

Whereas, over the course of his career, he served Estill High School as coach for both track and football and was a school resource officer with the Hampton County Sheriff's Office; and

 

Whereas, Mr. Green strongly believed in active community involvement, and he put his convictions into action by serving his community in various capacities. A past master with the Fairview 393 Masonic Lodge, he was also a member of the South Carolina Municipal Black Caucus, the Executive Session working group, and the Freedom Force Crew; and

 

Whereas, in addition, for three years Mr. Green served as a member of Estill Town Council. Councilman Green was a beloved member of the Estill community who always put the needs of others first; and

 

Whereas, he further showed his love for his town in founding the Spiritual Voices, as well as in serving as co-organizer of the town's annual Christmas celebration and as co-founder of the town's Family Fun Day Festival. His dedication to the Town of Estill will never be forgotten; and

 

Whereas, preceded in death by his brother, Jordan Green, he leaves to cherish his memory his mother, Sadie M. Green; three sisters, Dottie Warren, Marie Fields, and Lorene Bacon; and a host of other family members and friends; and

 

Whereas, the people of South Carolina were made better by Mr. Green's influence and will greatly miss his impactful presence. Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

 

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, express profound sorrow upon the passing of the Honorable Alfonia "Al" Green of Estill and extend the deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family.
