Obituary
Robert Lee Greene, Jr. was born into this world on October 22, 1989 in Winston-Salem, NC. He departed this life on Thursday, January 15, 2015 at the tender age of 25.
Robert is the dearly beloved son of Robert and Angela Greene.
His family moved to Miami, Florida when he was an infant. Robert graduated from Everglades High School with honors and played on the basketball team. He graduated from the University of South Florida on an academic scholarship. Following in his father's footsteps Robert became a member of the Zeta Xi Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. Robert excelled at the University of South Florida. Because of his hard work and determination he was able to earn his bachelor's degree in three years.
After college Robert worked for the St. Petersburg Florida Sheriff's Office as a Child Protection Investigator. Because of what he witnessed as an investigator he decided to attend Law School so that he could be an advocate for children and families in need. In August of 2014 Robert enrolled in Barry University School of Law in Orlando, Florida where he also excelled. Robert never lost sight of his goals for the future.
Robert was a thoughtful, caring, and all around great person who always wanted to see his family and friends happy and successful. He was always willing to lend a helping hand and extend himself to others.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents George Albert Greene, Trillis Irene Greene, and Haywood Barzie Ellerbe.
