Corey enjoyed his life to the fullest and after being diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, never took a single day for granted. He was a crew boat captain, and loved being on the river. When he wasn't working, he took great joy in spending time with his nieces, nephews, and his close-knit group of friends. He was truly one of a kind and will be forever missed by everyone who knew him.
