He was born in Cleveland County, NC, son of the late Odus and Margaret Greene and was preceded in death by a brother, William Greene. Jake was a member of David Baptist Church where he served as a deacon, RA Teacher, and custodian. He served honorably in the US Army. Jake worked in the textile industry for many years and retired from East Elementary School where he worked as a custodian. He was a talented wood worker but his passion was lawn care.
