Easyriders Events President John Green Left Us

johngreenIt’s with sadness that I report the passing of John Green on Wednesday May 14. He was the President of all Easyriders Events, the famous V-twin Bike Show and Rodeo Tours.

I don’t know any household name builder who didn’t participate at least one time (me, several times) to his big custom motorcycle shows, meetings, exhibitions, entertainment events. A very gentle and courageous man, he was relentless in promoting the talent and business of all builders and many owe him to have been able to start a career in the custom motorcycle industry.

John was diagnosed about one year ago with terminal cancer. He passed away at home surrounded by his wife Jene’ and mother Katie. My condolences to all his family and friends.

    I really hate to hear this news. Very sad. John was always very nice to me, and other exhibitors/competitors, over the years, and has done so much for the custom bike builders and fans.
    He will be greatly missed.

    I had the privilege of know John and working with him from time to time. He was a good influence on me and many others.
    He did much for the world of motorcycling.
    I personally will miss him as will others, My prayers are with his family.
    I know he has been happily greeted in Biker Heaven by those that have left earth before him.
    RIP MY FRIEND,
    Rogue

    John did so much for so many. It is hard to believe that he is no longer with us in this life. He made an incredible difference in my life and his memory will live in mine until I move on to meet him again

    John completely changed my life. He offered me a chance when no one else was willing to take a chance on me. Because of his graciousness, I have become what I am today. I will never sing a night without thinking of him and what he did for me.

    I miss my uncle very much and think about him every day. I keep looking back at this just to know that he has touched the lives of many and just to know he is still around. I hope to make him proud. Love you.
