Jack Ray Creekmore

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jack Ray Creekmore, a beloved husband, father, and friend, who departed this life peacefully at the age of 87 on December 14, 2024, in his home in Batavia, Ohio. Born on April 27, 1937, Jack lived a life rich in love, laughter, and hard work, leaving an indelible mark on all who knew him.

Jack was renowned for his deep passion for cars and spent countless hours in his garage, tinkering and working on vehicles with a skill that was truly admirable. He found joy in the simpler pleasures of life, whether it was tending to his yard, embracing nature in the great outdoors, or simply enjoying the warmth of his family's presence at home.

A dedicated family man, Jack was a source of unwavering support and love for his wife, Mary Jo, and their children: son Jack Jr., daughters Renee Hammonds, Debbie Friedman and Teresa Parks as well as several grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sisters Wilma, Fay and Shirley. His family will forever cherish his wisdom, laughter, and the values he instilled in them.

In addition to his family commitments, Jack was a proud member of the Milford Masonic Lodge for many years, engaging with his community and contributing to the betterment of those around him. His legacy of kindness and camaraderie will continue to inspire all who were fortunate enough to share in his life.

A graveside service will be held in his honor at Graceland Memorial Gardens on December 20, 2024, at 2:00 PM. Friends and family are invited to gather as we come together to celebrate Jack's life.

In this time of remembrance, let us reflect on the beautiful memories shared with Jack, and the love he cultivated in the hearts of those who knew him so well. He will be profoundly missed but forever cherished in our memories and hearts.
