Dick lived a full life enjoying time with all those he loved. His passion for lawn care and irrigation touched so many lives. He always loved meeting and talking with his customers. But his laughter and smile are what everyone will remember.

He had always wanted to own his own business. So, in 1999 he started Just Another Lawn Service Inc. that in later years transformed into Creekmore's Just Another Lawn Service Inc. He started with just 100 business flyers and a dream. From there he built his company to become a leading business in the lawncare and irrigation industry. Though all of this was in no comparison to the love he had for his family and friends. Whether it was enjoying a grandchild's soccer game or softball game to watching them preform to just enjoying time in the company of all that he loved and those who loved him.

He is survived by his wife, Vicki, love of his life for 42 years. His four sons are Jason Creekmore (Alisa) Toledo, Quinton R. Creekmore (Karen) Holland, Dustin A.
