He was born on August 16, 1960, in Roswell, New Mexico. As son to an Air Force father, Chris moved around the country as a child, but Chris always had a knack of making friends wherever he went, but no matter where he moved, Nanih Waiya was always his home, so much so that his final years were spent in the self-renovated comfort of his grandparents' home in which he grew up as a child.
At an early age, Chris learned the value of hard work. A major goal in Chris' life was to provide for the family that he loved dearly. Chris worked as an Industrial Mechanic for his entire 40 plus year career working on sewing machines, pharmaceutical equipment, copiers, and more. Through fervent dedication to his craft, Chris had the honor to train on new product lines with his company in Israel, where he had the opportunity to walk where Jesus walked, eat new cuisines, and make unique friends, one of which, Chris taught to fish in the pond on the Creekmore property.
Chris had many hobbies in his lifetime, and his hobbies seemed to always spill into the love of others in his life. His love of horses spilled over into his relationship with his daughter as he taught her how to ride at an early age. His love for fishing and building spilled over into his son, and his love for motorcycles spilled over into his wife who spent hundreds of hours and miles on the back of his burnt orange Harley Davidson where they made many cherished, lifelong friends.
Although Chris had many hobbies that he loved and cherished, there were none he loved more than his grandchildren. At the age of 50, Chris inherited not only a son-in-law but a grandson and granddaughter who immediately became the light of his life. Since then, the Creekmore family has been blessed with 3 more grandchildren, who became Chris' entire world, turning "Chris" into "PaPaw". For the last 15 years, Chris' grandchildren added so much love, strength, and so many cherished memories.
Chris is survived by his loving wife, Bonnie Creekmore of Louisville; daughter, Jessica Creekmore Robbins (Jacob) of Brandon, Mississippi; and son, Jonathan Creekmore (Shelby) of Cullman, Alabama. One of his greatest joys was being "PaPaw" to Caden, Camille, Carson, Colton, and Carly Bea Robbins. He is also survived by his sister-in-law, Bonnie Sue Creekmore; brother-in-law, Artis Miles; other family members, and many friends. Chris was preceded in death by his father, Jessie Hillman Creekmore; mother, Serita Gregory Creekmore Gentry; brother, Jeff Creekmore; sister, Alicia Creekmore; nephew, Adam Miles; and grandparents, J. D. and Laverne Gregory.
Serving as pallbearers are Umesh Sanjanwala, Heath Robertson, Paul Trosper, Anthony Miles, Clifton Seales, and Jared Cockrell.
