Russell Eugene Creer

Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my father's house are many mansions; If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you, and if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also, and whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. John 14:1-3

Russell Eugene Creer was born September 15, 1967, to the late Clarence E. Creer and Jerri D. Crayton.

Russell united with the Sweet Home Missionary Baptist Church at an early age before uniting with the Morning Star Baptist Church, where he was a faithful member until his death.

Russell was well-known throughout the trucking industry. Although he spent many long hours on the road, he enjoyed hunting, fishing, and working under the hood of his Chevy. But what he loved most was the pleasure of being "Pawpaw" and spending time with his grandchildren. Russell had a very kind heart with so much love to give.
