Richard G McCreery

He was an avid horseman and rider all his life and a clocker at Churchill Downs for many years, and worked with thoroughbreds in LaGrange on his property at Stowell Farm. He was a dedicated father, son, and family member with many friends. He was very passionate about his farm and enjoyed working the land, driving his boat, & making memories with his family. Richard was the kind of friend to make you laugh until you cried, to know him and his infectious laugh was to love him.

He is survived by his mother, Jeanette McCreery, two loving daughters Andrea McCreery (Nathaniel West) and Gabrielle McCreery, two loving sisters Selby McCreery, Kate McCreery, & many nieces, nephews and great nieces. Paris Thomas, Ariel Thomas, Atticus Barrett, Merle Barrett, Lester Barrett, Hannah Turner (William Turner), Daviyla Turner. He will be greatly missed by them and many, many friends.

He is preceded in death by his father, Robert McCreery, also a great horseman and loved by all.
