Corwin Gentry Sousa

In the early hours of December 23rd, we suddenly lost a great son, brother, uncle, cousin and friend; Corwin Gentry Sousa (Corey). Born January 1st, 1991, he gave us 28 years of music, art and love. Although, he struggled with many demons he always loved us unconditionally. Colorado Springs was his home but the world was his influence and his deep conversations often made us feel like we were sitting with a poet. He was a jazz trumpeter at Holmes MS and traveled to Europe with the Coronado HS band. But, after graduation in 2009 Corey began to develop what would become his true passion, the guitar. His musical talent flowed effortlessly from him whenever he played guitar or put pen to paper. His impromptu piano solos that filled the house were the soundtrack to our lives.

Corey leaves behind many friends, his young niece and nephew; Stella and Thomas, brothers; Connor and Zack, sister Erin, brother-in-law Darren and parents; Chris and Joanie.

We each may hold our own personal story of laughter and tears with Corey. Please join us on Sunday, December 29th from 1pm-4pm for a viewing and share your stories with us at Swan Law Funeral Directors; 501 N Cascade Ave 80903. Services will be at the same location on Saturday, January 4th at 3pm. Reception to follow at Mother Muff’s at 2432 W Colorado Ave 80904.
