The governor ordered flags to be at half-staff from sunup to sundown on Saturday in Harper and Sumner counties.
“Former Representative McCreary’s storied legacy is that of a dedicated public servant,” Governor Laura Kelly said. “He chose to serve his community, state, and country in every role he held throughout his life – as a paratrooper and Staff Sergeant in the military, an entrepreneur, a grocer, and finally, a legislator. My condolences go out to his loved ones during this difficult time.”
He then served in the Kansas House from 1997 to 2006 as a representative in the 80th District, where he was known for his conservative values and community dedication.
His services will be held on Saturday, December 13, at 11:00 a.m. in the Cornejo Funeral Home Chapel, 1030 Mission Road, Wellington, KS, 67152, followed by burial at Prairie Lawn Cemetery.
