Karl Creekmore, 46, died peacefully at home on April 11, 2015, and went to Heaven be with his savior, Jesus Christ.

He is survived by his loving and faithful wife of nine years, Linda Creekmore and his two beloved puppy dogs; father, Guy Creekmore Sr. (Diana); mother, Patsy Conrad (Tim); brother, Guy Creekmore Jr. (Jeanene); two nephews, Daniel (Paige) and Hunter; three nieces, Brittany, Avery and Riley; one great-niece, Emily; in-laws, Sonny and Jan; brother and sister-in-law, Michael and Michelle; and extended family and friends.

Karl made his home in Starkville after graduating from Mississippi State University in 1993. He never met a stranger and always had kind words to speak of and love in his heart to share.  His hobbies were hunting, fishing and gardening. Karl was also a big NASCAR fan.

He loved being outdoors, whether just sitting on the porch watching the birds, or the hard labor of yard work. He loved nature with all of God’s creations surrounding him. His passion became learning the word of God.

A memorial service will be 2 p.m. Thursday, April 16, 2015, at Glenwood Funeral Home. Visitation will be from noon until the service.

A second memorial service will be held in Starkville at a later date.

Flower tributes are welcomed, and those wishing to make a donation in lieu of flowers are encouraged to support Cancer Treatment Centers of America, Tulsa, OK or Oktibbeha County Humane Society, Starkville, MS.
