Reflections for Trooper Nikky Joe Green

When someone dies, they still live on in you and me; and everyone else who loved them.


Think of him still as the same, I say.
He is not dead; he is just --- away.

To linda and the girls
we will always remember *198* in our hearts and we will keep yall in our prayers. Much love to yall and may God help you through all of your troubles. Because you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you!

I never got to meet TRP Green, But I can tell you this. Mr Green is a loved and respected man. The actions performed that day was more than an attempt to stop a person, but an action of honor. I am a new officer, but an experienced soldier. The honor and words spoke of Mr. Green are nothing short of spectactular. I am trained in Custody and Control by the Oklahoma Troopers. TRP "JC" has taught me numerous times. And I have always heard about Nik. And every trooper I meet has nothing but great memories.
Mrs. Green I say this to you in compasion to be proud of your husband. He is a great man and a great inspiration to all of us.

When Heaven and Hell coliade.

To Linda, the Green Family and all who were touched by Nik's life,

We are all better for having known Nik Green. Even if he just briefly touched your life with a kind and encouraging word, a helping hand, a smile or a hug. Nik and the way he lived his life for Christ will always be remembered.

"Don't cry because its over, smile because it happened."

Lifting you up in prayer,

To Trooper Green and his family,

May God bless you all in the good times and the bad.

Nik--you've been our son-in-law for the last 12 years and I don't think there's enough paper in the state of OK to write all the things we've shared as a family. I'll miss the holidays, especially mine and your 'guessing game' at Christmas. You brought great joy to our family and 3 beautiful grandchildren. We thank you for that! I especially thank you for your prayers. Praying for Larry while he was going through his divorce and then being Sierra's (E.C.) prayer warrior. The calls to the city, the medicine you brought over minutes after I called, right down to the 'JESUS' shirt you sneaked over to C. Those memories will be with us forever Nik. We love you Nikky Joe, and we miss you more than any words could ever say. GOD has a wonderful person in His kingdom and I can't wait till we all see you again.
Pop says he still wants to finish the boat you and he talked about doing, and loves you and misses you.
E.C. says she loves you and misses you too and she always thinks of you when she wears the shirt you gave her. She says 'thank you' for all the prayers...they worked!!!!

Linda--Mama and Daddy will always be here for you if you ever need us. There is nothing on this earth that I wouldn't do for you. We love you!

Nort, Boogidy, Wootie---Pop and NayNay love you guys with all our hearts and will be there anytime you call. No matter what!!

God bless you,
Mama, Daddy, & Sierra
(a.k.a. Pop, NayNay, & E.C.)

I was Nik's foster daughter and it was an honer to live with Nik.Nik was a person u could count on if u ever needed anything. Who could not love Nik? Nik always told Linda'' If any thing ever hapend to me just pick up and carry on''. It's harder than it seems. Nik died the same day my brother did just about when I to get over my brothers death Nik passes away.I think what did I do to have leave at such an early age. I would do anything to bring Nik back.I would also do annthing to take the pain away from Linda. But 4 the grace og God she and the girls will make it through FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS #198

I’M FREE
DON’T GRIEVE FOR ME, FOR NOW I’M FREE.
I’M FOLLOWING THE PATH GOD HAS LAID YOU SEE.
I TOOK HIS HAND WHEN I HEARD HIM CALL.
I TURNED MY BACK AND LEFT IT ALL.
I COULD NOT STAY ANOTHER DAY.
TO LAUGH, TO LOVE, TO WORK AND PLAY.
TASKS LEFT UNDONE MUST STAY THAT WAY.
I FOUND THAT PEACE AT THE CLOSE OF THE DAY
IF MY PARTING HAS LEFT A VOID, THEN FILL IT
WITH REMEMBERED JOYS.
A FRIENDSHIP SHARED, A LAUGH, A KISS,
OH YES, THESE THINGS I TOO WILL MISS.
BUT NOT BURDENED WITH TIMES OF SORROW.
I WISH YOU THE SUNSHINE OF TOMORROW.
MY LIFE’S BEEN FULL, I SAVORED MUCH.
GOOD FRIENDS, GOOD TIMES,
A LOVED ONE’S TOUCH.
PERHAPS MY TIME SEEMED ALL TO BRIEF.
DON’T LENGTHEN IT NOW WITH UNDUE GRIEF.
LIFT UP YOUR HEARTS AND PEACE TO THEE,
GOD WANTED ME NOW; HE SET ME
FREE!!!
IN LOVING MEMORY

I remember like it was yesterday, Larry and I were living in Devol and we had a huge snake problem at teh backdoor of our house. Larry did his best to kill it but didnt get it done right away, So we called Nik, he was there less then 2 mins. He shot the snake, with no problems, we thank him and he wass on his way. Nik was alwys there for Larry and I no matter what we needed we knew we could ask him and it would be done, I dont know how many times we had to borrow his pick-up for many things and it was always " no problem, take as long as u need". When Larry called me and told me the news I was in complete shock, I still to this day cant believe its real. I know hes up there in heaven shining down on us, and watching out for us. Im truly sorry Linda and the girls for all of this, and I know yall are very strong and can pull through this, even though its tough, it will get better.
THANK GOD FOR MEN LIKE NIK GREEN
LONG LIVE 198!

Nik and I graduated together at the beginning of our careers from CLEET C92B5. I know that God has a plan for all of us, and someday, maybe He will expose why He took Nik from us. I am proud to say that I knew Nik and his sheepish grin. Rest peacefully in the arms of our Lord my brother.

You are truely a blessing and a man of God.

To Mrs. Green and his little angles. I wish I had the words to tell you how sorry we are. You and your family will always be in our prayers.

To the family and friends of Trooper Green:
I cannot express how sorry I am for you and your family. My brother was killed on Christmas night, the day befor Trooper Green. My brother was a police officer in Kenai Alaska killed shot and killed while performing a routine welfare check. This horrible tragedy happens all too often and my heart grieves for you all.

Brother...it has nearly been a month since that terrible morning. I miss you so much and love you. I know your having a blast in heaven with Dad. Even knowing that it doesn't make it easier here. I thought I would always have you here on earth to tease about getting old and to share our ups and downs, but you answered God's call for you to come join him in heaven. You left an awesome legacy. A legacy of love-everyone loved you because you loved them, pride in everything you did from polishing your brass to cooking supper you did it right the first time, and most importantly faithfulness, faithfulness to Christ even in your last breath of life here on earth. What a legacy. I know you were met at the gates by our loved ones, and I know you have finally touched the face of Jesus. Thank you for leaving us no doubt where you are at. Until we meet at God's glorious golden gates know this brother -I have always taken great pride in calling you "my big brother". God blessed me to know you so well.
Over the years we shared alot of laughs and some tough times, I always drew strength from you - you set the standard. I pray you can't see how we (Mom. Linda, your girls and myself) miss you and grieve. I miss calling you and asking "whatcha doin' Brother?" Only to hear you reply "washin my patrol car" or "bathing the girls". So many memories I truly cherish. From playing mercy, arm and arm, you hiding under my bed, jogging (well walking for me) together while you were in the academy, the prayer you prayed before I went into surgery with the tumor, you donating your blood for me before I had Madison and the nice visit after, talking with Mom and I about the night Jody died, and of course when I got to give you a tough time about rolling your camero, to the last conversation we had at Mammaw Flo's in the kitchen. Thanks Brother.
Until God calls me... know this you really did set a good example for your "Lil Sis" like Mom and Dad always told you to do, but you set an example for everyone and everyone who knew you is a better person because of you . So know this I will always remember you and everyone will carry on your legacy. And I still say.."that's my brother" with tremendous pride...... I love you Brother.

NIK,

WORDS CAN NOT EXPRESS HOW MUCH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MEANT TO MELANIE AND MYSELF. YOU WERE ALWAYS THERE WHEN I NEEDED HELP OR JUST NEEDED TO TALK. MY LIFE CHANGED WHEN GARY CALLED ME THE MORNING OF THE 26 TH AND TOLD ME OF YOUR DEATH. AT FIRST I WAS FILLED WITH DISBELIEF AND SOON IT TURNED TO ANGER. THERE ARE NO WORDS TO EXPRESS HOW GREATLY YOU WILL BE MISSED BY ALL. THE EXAMPLE THAT YOU SET IS STILL HERE FOR US TO FOLLOW AND HOPEFULLY I CAN PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF. NIK, YOU WAS MY BEST FRIEND AND I DONT KNOW WHAT I WILL DO WITHOUT YOU HERE, BUT I KNOW THAT YOU ARE WATCHING OVER ME AND THAT I AM NEVER ALONE.
TO LINDA AND THE GIRLS, I CAN NOT EXPRESS HOW SORRY I AM FOR YOUR LOSS. NIK WAS GREATEST EXAMPLE OF A FATHER, CHRISTIAN, AND A TROOPER THAT I HAVE EVER KNOWN. I KNOW THAT HE IS WATCHING OVER YOU AND THAT HE IS WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO.
NIK, REST IN PEACE BROTHER, YOU WILL FOREVER BE IN OUR HEARTS.

I was Nikky Joe Green's Third Grade Teacher. There was never a sweeter boy and better student than Nik. Everyone admired him. When he became a OHP Trooper we were all so proud. We all felt as though we had helped raise him and were so very proud of all his accomplishments. He was a friend to all the students at Big Pasture School. He was a very compasionate, loving, man. He was above all a wonderful husband and father. I will always miss him.

Linda,
I wish I could find words to express the array of emotions everytime Tom (G938) and I reflect the past few months. Tom is not the easiest person to get to know. After Lt. Clark became their supervisor, he placed Nik, Duane, and Tom on the same team. Tom came home telling me about how he thought he had found someone he could talk to and call a friend. I met Nik several times in the patrol room and on the road. Everytime he had a smile on his face and talked about his family. Then Tom and I had our first Christmas party as a married couple with Troop G. Linda, you and Nik were the first ones to come over and greet us. I look at the pictures taken at the party and see the wonderful fellowship we all had (including Jody #777 playing polley pockets with the girls). Your family is truly an inspiration of what life is suppose to be. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your famliy. I feel comforted knowing that whenever Tom and I put on the uniform, Nik is our 10-86. My God bless you.

"Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I santified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." Jeremiah 1:5

I knew Nik for a short time, however the positive impression that he left will never be forgotten. My prayers are with Linda and his beautiful girls. He is a true HERO. To his OHP Brothers the impact of Nik's loss is tremendous and difficult my prayers are with you all.
