David V. Creel joined the heavenly realm on Tuesday, January 26, 2016 at his residence the Good Samaritan Society of Loveland, CO at the age of 76 after a long and courageous battle with Parkinson’s and prostate cancer. David was born on May 7, 1939 in Tulsa, Oklahoma to Frances Milton Creel and Lucile Moore Creel. The oldest of three children, David Creel graduated from the University Of Notre Dame with a Bachelor's degree in Geology and then completed a Master's degree in Petroleum Geology at the University of Tulsa. On August 25th, 1962, David married the love of his life Kathleen Quirk. They just recently celebrated their 53rd Wedding Anniversary surrounded by family and friends.
David held various geological and supervisory positions in Tripoli, Libya during his eleven-year career with AMOSEAS (the operator for CALTEX Petroleum), became the Exploration Manager of the Rocky Mountain Region and Canada for Ladd Petroleum Company; then the Exploration Manager of the Rocky Mountain Region for Kilroy Company of Texas; and finally President of Aztec Resources Corporation in Denver, Colorado. After several years of independent consulting worldwide, in June 1998, he joined GeoPetro as Vice President of Exploration. In October of 2001, he became a director and served on the Board for more than 10 years. David’s extensive experience in exploring diverse geologic basins for oil and gas in both the US and internationally lead to a very successful and fulfilling career doing what he loved.
David is survived by his wife Kathleen Creel; his brother Dan Creel; children Kevin Creel (wife Leslie, children Keely, Jada, Nico), Michele Rupprecht (husband Jonathan, children Connor, Trent); grandchildren Ben and Jake Planer; and many other loved ones and dear friends.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother Frank; and daughter Cecilia Planer. David was a man of faith, a man of principle, and an avid outdoorsman. He will be sorely missed. May he rest in peace. A memorial will be held on Friday, February 12, 2016 at 10:00am in the Chapel located at Good Samaritan Society – Loveland Village, 2101 S. Garfield Ave., Loveland, CO 80537.
