Robert J. Creutz

Robert "Bob" J. Creutz, age 62, of Toledo, Ohio, passed away November 12, 2023, at The Toledo Hospital surrounded by family. He was born February 28, 1961, in Toledo, to Paul and Rosemary (Panuto) Creutz.

Bob graduated from Cardinal Stritch High School, class of 1979. He worked for the City of Toledo in the Department of Forestry until he retired after working 30 dedicated years.

Bob was meticulous with his work. He loved growing trees, caring for them, and planting beautiful flowers. When he wasn't working, he enjoyed watching and quoting Seinfeld, watching NASCAR, cheering on the Georgia Bulldogs, and cooking delicious meals for his friends and family. He loved being a chef in the kitchen and feeding the ones he loved. A huge passion for music, he enjoyed listening and attending concerts like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Tom Petty, The Rolling Stones, The Marshall Tucker Band, amongst many others!

Above all, family was most important. He was devoted to his children and they truly meant the world to him. Bob was the most generous, caring, and thoughtful guy. He would do anything for anyone without wanting anything in return. Whether it was a helping hand or a phone call checking up on you, Bob was always there. Bob's love, smile, and generosity will truly be missed by those who knew him. This is not goodbye, but we will see you again!

Those left to forever cherish his memory are his loving children, Chelsea Creutz (Nicholas) and Connor Creutz; grand-dogger, Emma; mother, Rosemary Creutz; sister, Cathy Davis; sister-in-law's, Barb Creutz and Joy Creutz; special friend and companion, Melina Powell; best friend, Bill Cramer; and numerous loved ones whom will forever hold a special place in their heart for Bob.

Bob was preceded in death by his father, Paul Creutz; brothers, Michael and Kevin Creutz; and nephew, Andy Smoot.

The family would like to thank the nurses and staff at Hickman Flower Hospital for their care, compassion, and support.
