On Monday, June 21, 2021, Shan Green loving brother, father, uncle, nephew, cousin, relative and friend passed away at the age of 50 in Topeka, Kansas.

Shan was born on February 26, 1971, in Horton, Kansas to Roselle Green and Larry McKinney. He attended William Chrisman High in Independence, Missouri. His field of interest was in computer technology. He was employed by the Kickapoo Nation School and the Kickapoo Tribe in Kansas.

He was joined in marriage in February of 1999 to the lovely late Jacqueline Castro of which they raised a son, Tyrone Green of Horton, Kansas, and three daughters, Leota Castro of Topeka, Kansas, Johna Thomas of Omaha, Nebraska and Amber Thomas of Horton, Kansas. They later divorced and he was joined in marriage to the lovely late Tammy Wahweotten, in which they raised a daughter, Chup Johnson of Mayetta, Kansas and three sons, Sock Johnson, Pam Johnson and Kah-ke Simon of Mayetta, Kansas. He loved, claimed and was proud of all his kids and was glad to be a part of their lives.

He was preceded in death by his parents and both wives.

The children survive along with a brother, Chuck McKinney of Horton, Kansas and numerous relatives, cousins, grandchildren and aunts.

Shan had a passion for dirt track racing and was often an avid fan every weekend with Tammy at Thunder Hill Race track in Mayetta, Kansas. He sure did enjoy his Rock music and he and Jackie attended many Rockfests and concerts together. He was known for his dazzling eyes and very infectious smile along with his love of rock and roll. Friends and relatives can hear his passion for racing and rock in his voice with his boisterous shout of hell yeah! He received his name Blue from a childhood friend in passing when she said there goes Shan Blue but meant Green and it has stuck ever since. He was a kind, quiet and compassionate spirit, rarely did you ever see him without his bandanas.

Kennekuk Church services will be at 9:00 A.M. on Tuesday, June 29, 2021 at the Kickapoo Community Building on the Kickapoo Reservation with burial to follow at the Kennekuk Cemetery. A special message may be sent to the family at www.dishon-maple-chaney.com
