Donte Lejon Green Jr. was born May 9, 1992 to Nukisha Jackson and Donte Green Sr. He was born in Denver Colorado and moved to Seattle Washington in 1995 at the age of 3. Donte was the oldest of seven siblings.
Donte attended Tukwila Elementary, Chinook Middle School and Tyee High School. Donte enjoyed playing basketball with family and friends yet football was his first passion in sports. Donte was great at any hobby he tried and was quick to challenge others within their own athletic abilities in all sports. He thoroughly enjoyed playing pool as well as weightlifting. Donte was very adventurous and loved to travel and explore the world. He took on a love and passion for dogs and was always thinking outside of the box of normal.
Donte was a very ambitious young man who was independent and driven. He always had a mindset of moving forward in his life and encouraged everybody around him to do the same. Donte was a good man who always thought about others before himself.
Donte will truly be missed and cherished here on earth as he leaves behind his parents Nukisha Jackson, Donte Green Sr.; his six brothers, Deshawn Green, Dontrell Green, Darontay Jackson, Davarius Sutton, Devin Sutton and Daquan Sutton, and his one and only sister Dejonnae Green; his grandmothers, Brenda Jackson (Granny) and Vanessa Green (Nana); his uncles, Lenny Jackson, Tywuan Jackson, Paul Koonce Jr. and Gyasi Armstrong; his aunts, Teela Jackson, Ashley Koonce, Asia Koonce and Lennina Armstrong; his first niece Babie-Marie Green, and a host of family and friends.
Donte will sit with our heavenly father God and his great grandmother Barbara J Williams (Big Momma); great grandmother Ivorny Curtis; his grandpa Paul Koonce Sr.; his aunt Shantee’ Green (Toosie); and his cousin Cynthia Brashers.
