Tom was a loving and devoted grandfather, father, brother, uncle, and friend who will be greatly missed.
Tom was born in Jackson, Mississippi on October 28, 1958, to Edgar Foster and Helen Fairchild Creasy.
He grew up in Vestavia Hills, Alabama, attending Auburn University upon graduation from Vestavia Hills
High School. Tom was a member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, where he served in multiple
capacities including fraternity treasurer and house manager. He was a Delta Zeta big brother and was
always surrounded by friends. Tom earned a degree in Accounting, returning to the Birmingham area,
working for Royal Oldsmobile, and ultimately as CFO for Crest Cadillac of Birmingham. His Crest family
meant a lot to Tom and he cherished the friendships made. While working at Crest, Tom went on to
earn his Master of Business Administration from the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
Tom grew up attending Green Valley Baptist Church and raised his children attending the same church.
Tom later attended Church of the Highlands.
Tom is preceded in death by his parents and a brother, David Franklin Creasy. He leaves behind his two
sons who were his pride and joy, John David and Bradley Thomas Creasy, and their mother, Melanie
Noto Creasy. Tom gained a daughter when David married his wife, Bailey, and just a year ago added the
newest light in his life, granddaughter, Rosie. Tom also leaves behind a sister, Cindy Creasy (Scott)
Selman, niece, Shelby, nephew, Christopher (Allie) Selman and their children Prim and Foster, a brother-
in-law, Paul (Pat) Noto and nieces Lindsey Noto, Rachel (Brett) Woodward and daughter, Isla, and
Paulina (Brock) Peacock.
Tom suffered from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (“ALS”, or more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s
disease) during the final 16 months of his life. As the disease progressed, he found comfort from
caregivers who were with him day and night. He would not have survived as long as he did without the
friendship and compassion from Hope Holt. She became his refuge from daily discomfort, sharing
laughs and wonderful stories during his final months of life. We have gained a new family member in
Hope.
A private service for family and close friends will be held in Birmingham, AL. Please contact the family for
details on the service. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the ALS Association in support of global ALS research and nationwide care services (https://www.als.org/donate) or to Green Valley Baptist Church in Hoover, AL.
