Hugh Purvis Green

Hugh Purvis Green, 74, widower of Kathryn Todd Green, passed away Tuesday, January 20, 2026, at MUSC.

Born on July 22, 1951, in Andrews, he was a son of the late Bertha Mae Wise Green and the late Purvis Shepard Green. Mr. Green was a member of Holy Trinity Pentecostal Holiness Church and dedicated many years of his career as an insurance salesman. His unmatched charisma and keen understanding of people's needs made him a remarkable professional. It was a running joke that he could "sell ice to an Eskimo," a testament to his extraordinary salesmanship and genuine ability to connect with others.

Outside of his professional life, Mr. Green was a man of many passions. He found joy in the simple pleasures of life, such as fishing or spending evenings watching "MASH" and John Wayne westerns. His love for racing and mechanics was evident in his constant tinkering with vehicles, always seeking to understand and improve their performance.

Survivors include one daughter, Kelly Duvall (Steve) of Andrews; ten grandchildren, Steven Duvall of Georgetown, Jon Duvall of Georgetown, Ezekiel Duvall of Andrews, Canaan Duvall of Andrews, Joseph Duvall of Andrews, Katalina Green of Hinesville, GA, Peyton Green of Hinesville, GA, Tommy Green of Hinesville, GA, Emma Green of Hinesville, GA, Robbie Newell of MD; five great grandchildren, Sophie Duvall, Rosie Duvall, Nolan Duvall, Colton Duvall and Julian Duvall; a half brother, John Billy Sparkman (Jeanette) of Clinton; and numerous nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by two sons, Hugh Thomas "Tommy" Green and Robert Anthony "Tony" Green; a great grandchild, Christopher Duvall; and three half sisters, Ruby Sparkman Gramlin, Frances Sparkman and Barbara Sparkman Gamble.

Funeral services will be held at 2 PM Thursday, January 22, 2026, at Holy Trinity Pentecostal Holiness Church. Burial will follow in Bethel Church of Andrews Cemetery.

The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service at the church.
