James Jesse Creswell BHS 1948
(March 22, 1930 - August 4, 2024)
Jimmy
passed away peacefully at home with his wife, 2 daughters and a granddaughter at his
side. He was 94 years old. He was born in Dalton Nebraska and during
the depression, the family moved to Oklahoma to be with more family.
Later moving to California, he and his sister Dona Jean Creswell
both attended Burbank high school. Both Jimmy and Dona became very good
friends with Debbie Reynolds, whom they called Franny. He had so many
stories. Later he was drafted to the U.S Army to fight in the Korean
war. After he was discharged, Jim went home and married the mother of his 2
daughters. With a divorce some years later, he was then raising his 6
year and 3 year old girls on his own. And I must say, i think he did a
pretty awesome job at it. After the kids grew up, he remarried until
his passing 24 days short of his 42nd anniversary. He left behind his
wife, 2 daughters, 4 grandchildren and 8 great grandchildren.
He was
laid to rest in Fort Sam Houston Cemetary in San Antonio Texas. He
didn't have many of his friends at his service because he outlived them all, including his younger sister who passed 2 months before him. Jimmy might
be gone, but he will be remembered through the family he left behind.
Until we see him again in GODs Kingdom.
