Craig William Creech

Craig was the very best of everything good, always caring and gracious to all those who were fortunate enough to have shared in his life. Nonetheless, he was willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need, even a stranger. Craig was such a care free, fun guy, with a sense of humor and heart like no other. He served his family, friends and country with all his heart and ability, but it’s his unconditional love that will forever place him apart from the rest. A truly dedicated family man, who loved being a father as much as he loved being a Soldier. Spending time with them meant the world to him, throwing the ball around in the yard, hunting for squirrels, or having tea parties with his children were a few of his favorite pastimes .

Craig graduated from Pembroke academy in 1990 and shortly after enlisted into the military. SSG Creech was an active drilling member in the New Hampshire National Guard and also a full-time employee for over 20 years; retiring honorably as Staff Sergeant in December of 2015. SSG Creech was a proud combat Veteran who deployed to Iraq with 744th transportation Company in 2004. We thank him and are forever grateful for his 20 years of service to his country and for defending our freedom.

Craig was predeceased by his adoring mother Joan Creech.

Left to cherish his memory his loving father, Crawford Creech; his brothers, Law Creech and Crawford Creech; his uncle Skip (James Creech); his aunts, Terry Creech, Donna Greenhalgh and Patricia DiFazia; nieces Jessie and Jenny Creech. Craig’s love and mother of his children, Amanda Creech; son and best friend John Creech and his best girl Shannon Creech. We are comforted knowing that “while he is absent from body, he is present with the lord.”
