Robert Bob Creech

Robert “Bob” Dean Creech, Sr., age 81, passed peacefully on Tuesday, July 2, 2019 at Curry Manor in Roseburg, Oregon surrounded by love of family and friends.Born on May 4, 1938, Bob was a self-educated, multi-talented man of action, whose down-to-earth style, good heart and hard-working moral ethic demonstrated the epitome of a true gentleman and man of class. He was fearless to try anything new; whether joining the US Navy at 17-years, working 27-years for Roseburg Lumber plywood plant, rural country living or the fast-paced city life of Las Vegas as Ground Transportation Manager for top Grand Canyon/Las Vegas tour company, he always faced each new experience or challenge with eager anticipation and an industrious spirit. Always kind, thoughtful, smart, and funny, Bob never sat still for long; was often found working outside on the farm with his beloved horses, or urban projects with A-list celebrity entertainers and musical activities. He was a connoisseur of all things meat and savory, with a special affinity for buffets; always knowing where the good buffets were located. Bob’s idea of dessert was a big bowl of crackers and milk, cornbread and milk, biscuits and sausage gravy with ice cold milk, and crispy bacon, with an occasional Milk Dud or Pershing roll thrown in. Raised in Ashland, KY, he resided in Southern Oregon (Riddle and Myrtle Creek), and Las Vegas, NV. Bob is survived by his children with first wife of 30-years, Phyllis (Osborne); his daughter, Christeena (Creech) Wagoner and husband John; his sons, Robert Dean Creech, Jr., Jeffrey Creech and wife Sandi, and Eric Creech. Bob’s companion and second wife of 20+ years, Ramona (Evers/Creech) Bryant; step-children with Ramona, daughter Richelle Bryant, son Raymond Bryant and wife Julie; fourteen grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; his brother, Jack Creech of Ashland, KY; and many cousins, nieces, nephews, family and friends throughout the country.The youngest son of Samuel A. and Merle (Hayes) Creech, “Bobbie Dean” is preceded in death by his parents, older brothers Vernon Paul, James Harold (Jimmie); older sister Myrtle Mae (Russell); and younger sister, Judy Gail (Sanders).
