Donald "Red" Creasy

October 21, 1940 - April 14, 2025

Donald "Red" Creasy passed peacefully into eternity on April 14, 2025, at the age of 84. Born on October 21, 1940, Don was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, minister, and friend to many.

He was preceded in death by his father, Donald D. Creasy; his mother, Aldora D. Creasy; and his brothers, Bob Creasy and Herry Dennis.

Don is survived by his loving wife, Brenda Jane Creasy; his children: Gerald L. (Petra) Creasy, W. Scott (Shellie) Creasy, Eric (Sherri) Lawson, Brian (Bob) Lawson, and Leslie (Bobby) Wilson; 17 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren, all of whom brought immense joy to his life.

Following in the footsteps of his father, D.D. Creasy, Don answered the call to ministry in the Church of God of Prophecy. He dedicated many years to pastoral and evangelistic service, leading congregations in Yazoo, MS; Salt River, KY; White Bluff, TN; Spencer, TN; Shady Rest, TN; Huntington, TN; Michie, TN; Madison, TN; Camden, TN; and Union Grove, TN.

To support his ministry and family, Don wore many hats over the years - from picking cotton and repairing Singer sewing machines to selling life insurance, and working at G.E., Radio Shack, Rudy's Rental, and Ace Hardware. His work ethic was only matched by his faith and his deep love for people.

Don will be remembered for his ever-present smile, his unmistakable sense of humor, and his gift for storytelling. He was a man who truly loved well - his family, his church, and every life he touched.

He leaves behind a lasting legacy of faith, service, and joy. His impact will continue to echo in the lives of those he led, loved, and inspired.
