OBITUARY

After a heroic battle with brain cancer, real estate developer and

Newport Beach resident Kevin McAlpin Green died Friday, June 2, 2000,

surrounded by his family at Hoag Memorial Hospital in Newport Beach. He

was 45.

Mr. Green made an unforgettable impact on those whose lives he touched

before and after he was diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme, the

deadliest form of brain cancer. He was not only a fun-loving spirit, but

also a man of great integrity.

Mr. Green first learned of the cancer after he collapsed while playing

basketball with friends at the Balboa Bay Club in March 1998. He survived

three brain surgeries and many experimental treatments.

Born in Los Angeles on March 15, 1955, Mr. Green grew up in Hancock Park

and attended Harvard School. He earned his bachelor’s degree from USC in

1977 and was a member of the Kappa Alpha fraternity. In 1983, he married Mary McIllece and in 1986 moved to Bayshores in Newport Beach

Mr. Green began his career working for The Seeley Co., a Los

Angeles-based real estate brokerage firm started by his grandfather, Roy

C. Seeley, in 1908. Thereafter, he formed his own development firm, Green

Development, specializing in the construction of industrial properties in

Southern California.

In the early 1990s, he joined forces with Turner Development Corporation

where he developed a number of successful projects with friend and

neighbor Rusty Turner.

While Mr. Green enjoyed a successful real estate career, his greatest joy

was his wife and their two sons, Brett, 12, and J.B., 9. He was a devoted

son to his parents, Max L. Green and the late Jeanette B. Green. He was a

loving brother to his three sisters, Marcia G. Redford, Linda G. Alshuler

and Barbara G. Welch, and admired by his 10 nieces and nephews.

“Chief,” as Mr. Green was affectionately known by close friends and

family, served as president of the Bayshores Community Assn. and coached

multiple youth sports teams. He was a member of The Pacific Club, The

Balboa Bay Club and La Grulla Gun Club. He enjoyed many activities and

had a passion for basketball, skiing, surfing, golf, volleyball, bird

hunting and traveling.

A memorial service is planned for at 3:30 p.m. Friday, June 9, at St.

Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, 600 Saint Andrews Road in Newport Beach.
