Steven Green's Obituary
Steve Green Obituary
Steven Alan Green, a father, grandfather, and music industry entrepreneur passed away peacefully on January 9, 2026. He was born on July 17, 1945, in New York City, the son of Julia Rich and Herbert Green.
Steven forged his own path from an early age. He left college to pursue a career in the music business, beginning at just 22 years old as a booking agent for a New York–based company. Driven by ambition and instinct, he soon opened his own agency, booking acts at clubs throughout Long Island. After marrying his first wife, Elaine, the couple moved a few times as Steven expanded his work, working with nationally recognized artists, including The Platters, The Drifters, Al Green, The Coasters, and The Grass Roots to name a few.
Like many creative lives, Steven’s journey included change and reinvention. He moved to Florida and in 1984, he married Janice, his partner in both business and life. Together, they created a successful portfolio of artists including Little River Band that supported their family and helped provide opportunities for their children to pursue their education and futures. Janice remained by his side and cared for him through the later years of his life and during his battle with Alzheimer' s disease.
Steven was known not only for his entrepreneurial spirit but also for his unmistakable personality—driven, witty, and fearless.
He is survived by his partner Janice, children Jessica (Robert Wells), Richard (Sara), his daughters by marriage Melanie (Robert Casper) and Marcie (Ryan Walters). He leaves behind his grandchildren, Julia, Caroline, Naomi, Rivka, Sara, Rochel, Miriam, Aliza, Penina, Robert, Caroline, Jackson, Eve, and Henry. Also surviving is his brother, Michael (Laura) and their children Hannah, Ben, and Sarah as well as many friends, colleagues, and artists whose lives he touched. He was preceded in death by his parents, Julia and Herbert Green.
Steven’s legacy lives on in the music he helped bring to the world, the family he loved, and the example he set of resilience, independence, and reinvention.
