Dawson Creager Obituary

CREAGER, DAWSON HOWARD, age 13 of Geneva, was granted his angel's wings Thursday, April 4, 2013, after a long battle with cancer. He was born September 10, 1999. He fought his illness with a courage and a bravery that far exceeded his 13 years. Dawson's life would seem too short but those who were touched by him understood the quality of existence is much greater than the quantity of time in which one lives. His courage led us to know that each day is a blessing and with his passing we remind others that his life is one to be celebrated. We will miss him every day especially his beautiful blue eyes and his winning smile. He will forever remain in our hearts. He is survived by his parents Mike and Susan Creager, his sister Kelsey, his brothers Mason and Carson, his maternal grandparents Bill and Harriette Brown of Ardmore, TN, his paternal grandparents Bill and Edna Creager of Palm Coast, FL, his great-grandmother, many aunts, uncles, cousins and caregivers. Visitation will be held Tuesday, April 9, 2013 from 6-8 PM at Baldwin Fairchild Funeral Home, Oviedo Chapel. A Funeral Service will be held at 1:00 pm, Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at the First United Methodist Church of Oviedo, 263 King Street, Oviedo, FL 32765. Interment will follow at Oviedo Cemetery. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to First United Methodist Church of Oviedo, or BASE Camp, 2020 W. Fairbanks Ave., Ste. 101 Winter Park, FL 32789. Arrangements entrusted to Baldwin Fairchild Funeral Home, Oviedo Chapel, 501 E. Mitchell Hammock Rd., Oviedo, FL 32765. 407-366-8999. Please view and sign the guestbook at

Dear Creager family,
I can not explain how my heart aches for you. It was truly a pleasure having met Dawson and having him in Elijah's life. Elijah spoke highly of him and had hoped that they could have gotten together more often. He will never forget sharing courtside seats with Dawson at the Magic games. Dawson was an amazing young man and will be truly missed. I find comfort in knowing he is in a better place in God's arms and I pray for strength and comfort for the family at this difficult time. God Bless. Lenora, Joseph, and Elijah

Dear Creager Family:

Thank you for allowing me to take care of Dawson. I will always remember our Sunshine Kids trip to Texas and how much fun he had at Schlitterbahn Water Park. Dawson will always have a special place in my heart. I pray that God holds you in his arms during this difficult time. Trenesha

I am truly blessed to have had Dawson be a part of both mine and my son Codey's life. He was always such a good friend and very Considerate and respectful when at my house. We unfortunately lost touch once I began homeschooling my son, but we tried to keep informed on Dawson's progress and always kept him and the family in our prayers. I will always remember sitting out back and watching him and Codey jumping in the pool doing tricks and the taking off on their bikes. Dawson's wonderful smile will stay forever in my memory. May The Lord Bless and keep you all strong. Love Jessica,Codey,Corey ,and Miranda Bartlett
