  He was a man of great faith and volunteered with St Patrick Church’s prison outreach and Knights of Columbus, where he enjoyed cooking giant meals for church events. He is survived by his children Max Thibodeaux (Monique), Colin Creaghan (Hensley), Molly Creaghan Waugh (Paul) and Savanah Creaghan, granddaughter Zoe Marceaux, and siblings Jacquelyn Creaghan, James “Jimmy” Creaghan (Lydia) and Francis “Bubba” Creaghan Jr. (Sidney). He is preceded in death by parents Francis “Frank” Creaghan Sr. and Myrtle “Kate” Coxe Creaghan.

   Tommy was a kind, generous soul who was quick to smile and never met a stranger. He dearly loved his family and will be greatly missed. There will be a memorial mass at St Patrick’s Catholic Church, with the date pending. He will be laid to rest at The Garden of Peace Memorial Columbarium at Our Lady of Mercy.
