The death has occurred of James Anthony Green, North Andover, Massachusetts and formerly of Drung, Quigley’s Point, suddenly on December 12th 2025, with his beloved wife by his side.
James was born in Donegal, Ireland, on December 9, 1985, the son of James and Ann Green, and the youngest brother of Michael and Majella.
He and his wife, Michelle, emigrated to Boston in July 2013, where they built a successful life together.

Professionally, James was a highly respected payments expert in the banking sector, most recently holding the position of Senior Manager, Operational Risk Oversight, at Discover Financial Services.
James loved all things sport – from his beloved Donegal GAA team to his lifelong support of Manchester United, as well as his passion for all Boston sports teams.
He took his greatest pride in sharing his deep knowledge and love of sport with his two sons, especially through coaching the boys’ soccer teams in North Andover.
A natural with landscaping, James lovingly crafted a beautiful yard at the family home, always happiest seeing his boys and their neighborhood friends enjoying it.
He was also a talented cook, and his meals – and the love behind them – will be forever missed by his family.
James was deeply loved and will be profoundly missed by his childhood sweetheart and wife of 13 years, Michelle Green; his sons, Dylan and Darragh, of North Andover, Massachusetts; his parents, James and Ann Green; his brother Michael and his wife Nuala, his sister Majella, and his nieces Michaela, Aimee, Eimear, and Hannah.
