Creed Michael Trowbridge, 3 months old, of Wolcottville, IN, passed away peacefully at home on August 6, 2025. He was born on April 23, 2025, at Parkview Regional Medical Center in Fort Wayne, IN, to loving parents Jared Michael and Alexis Marie (Case) Trowbridge.

Though his time here was brief, Creed brought immense joy to everyone around him. He was a happy baby whose bright smile lit up every room. Fittingly, he adored listening to the band Creed, often grinning ear to ear during their songs. He found delight in the simple joys of life, watching Mickey Mouse, gazing at spinning ceiling fans, and enjoying family trips to the zoo, where he loved seeing the animals. Creed had a special fondness for water, whether splashing during bath time or enjoying the calm of the lake, his happiness was unmistakable.

He adored his family deeply and greeted them with smiles full of love and wonder. His presence brought light and warmth, and his absence leaves a profound emptiness in the hearts of all who loved him
