James Creighton Obituary

Jan--
Very sorry to learn of Jim's passing. It was a pleasure meeting you both and getting to know you inspite of the circumstances. Jim was a cool, easy going guy and I appreciated his "take on anything" attitude towards life. It's unfortunate that his disease took his life early. I hope that you and your family are doing well.
Take care,
Kristen from Barnes-Jewish Hospital (nurse with Dr. Vij)

Jim, I will love you always, and I know you will watch over us. This void will eternally be held with the love and memories we are so blessed to have. You have a soul that forever will be unmatched, and how fortunate we all are to have experienced your presence. Thank you for making me better, and my motivation holds your name. Grateful for you always.

Jan,

I wish to offer you and your family my deepest condolences on the loss of your wonderful husband, Jim. I know there are very few words of comfort that can be shared when your grief is so profound. Please recognize there are friends and colleagues from all parts of your life who are keeping you in their prayers. I cherish the years of professional work and personal friendship we shared. Please call upon me at any time if I ease your suffering.

Jimmy you were my friend, my mentor and one of the best men I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I cherish the time I was able to spend with you and pray for your beautiful family through this hard transition in life. You were one of the few true Warriors that walked this earth and I pray that you bless and look over all of us still chasing bad guys and walking the beat. You have touched so many lives through the years and have bestowed so much knowledge through your actions and teachings. You my friend are dearly missed. Lord only knows, there will only ever be one "Jimmy Creighton". Goodby my friend and Rest in Peace, we will take it from here.

Forever in my heart. We celebrated his life and legacy. A hero who will be missed.

Jim Creighton brought A LOT of joy, laughter and fun to our lives. His place on this earth with be remembered by many of his FLETC friends... those, such as myself, who have worked with him and called him friend. So many great memories we will carry always. Jan, just know that you and the family are in our prayers. Words simply cannot express the sadness at losing such a wonderful man. We love you all.

Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. We will never forget the good times we had from the BVIs to Germany and all in between. Jim was a great guy and we are so glad we got to know him. He will be missed.

Jim, I'll never forget the first time I met you at my Police Academy class (1993) where you taught our self defense tactics class. I was like OMG he's huge! He's gonna kill us! .....and he did enjoy causing us a little pain..... lol for our own good. He taught us a lot, was a great mentor and leader! He's done a lot of good for the world we live in! Had the privilege as a K-9 Officer working the streets with him on calls as well.
Gone but not forgotten!

Jimmy was a good man and will be missed.

My sincerest sympathy. He can now rest in peace. Thinking of you all especially Jan my friend.

Jan, I was so sad to hear this news. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
