Robert J. Creech, known to most as Zeke Creech, passed away Friday, April 10, 2026, at ECU Medical Center in Greenville.
Zeke, 76, was a life-long resident of the Scott’s Store area near Mount Olive.
Zeke was preceded in death by his parents, Carl L. and Sudie Kornegay Creech; his sister and brother-in-law, Minnie Pearl and O’berry Wilkins; three brothers, Bobby Creech, Wilbert Creech, and Kenneth Creech; and a little sister, Catherine Creech.
He is survived by several nieces and nephews to include Linda W. Williamson, Eva Wilkins, Lisa W. Stroud, Nancy W. Raynor, Jackie W. Herring, and Dennis Wilkins, along with their families; an aunt, Stella Wade of Maryland; and several cousins.
Zeke will be remembered as a local figure who “made his rounds” on a daily basis to the local stores. Always friendly, he was a simple man. While he had worked briefly at Carolina Turkeys and at Brock’s Septic Tank Service, he mostly assisted area farmers with farming duties.
