Barney Creasy Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Mar. 31, 2026.
Barney Creasy passed away on March 30, 2026, in Joliet, IL. Born on November 18, 1958, Barney lived a life marked by a free-spirited youth and a deep commitment to his family in his later years, particularly in caring for his grandsons.

Barney was a loving father and grandfather known for his big heart and readiness to help those around him. Throughout his life, he was a jack of all trades who took great joy in aiding anyone in need. His final two decades were devoted to his grandsons, who were the light of his life.

He is survived by his parents, Evelyn and Jim; his brother, Terry; sister, Angie; son, Nick; daughter-in-law, Jessica; grandsons, Troy and Colten; daughter, Megen; and numerous nieces, nephews, and many honorary family members he gained throughout his years. Barney was preceded in death by his brother Mike and sister-in-law Lori.

A celebration of life will be held at his son's home at 1887 Harbor Dr, Morris IL, on April 11th, 2026, at 1 pm. The family welcomes all who knew Barney to join in celebrating his remarkable life.
