Rex Creighton: Real Estate Pioneer and Community Philanthropist
Mr. Rex Crighton, MBE, an Honorary Member of Rotary Sunrise, passed away Monday. He was the patriarch of a family that has been involved in Cayman Islands real estate since the early 1960s. More recent generations also associated Mr. Crighton with the family’s Christmas lights display and community generosity. His family donated the land for our park in Spotts. Mr. Crighton received an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) in 2008. A Cayman Reporter news article credits Crighton with being responsible for businesses that have sold more than 5,000 house lots worth a total of US$350 million.
