Corey Laverne Hale

Corey Hale was memorable, stubborn, loving, inspirational, imperishable, unfading and unforgettable?

But most of all he was Indelible.

Born August 30th, 1968 to Vern and Betty Hale, Corey was raised in Upland, CA with his sister Kelly and his brother Ky. Corey was forever an instigator and constantly in search of shenanigans in which he engaged at every opportunity (and mostly blamed on Ky ;)

He was a loving Son and brother.

But first and foremost Corey was devoted to his wife Ann and his daughter Emily. They were the very center of his universe and his dedication and commitment to both were unmatched. He was fiercely protective, ensuring that they were cared for, watched over and supported. There was never a time when he wouldn’t share how proud he was of his “Emmy” or of Ann.

He was a fantastic father and an amazing husband.

With an affable personality, quick smile and ready kindness, Corey endeared himself to almost everyone he met and he quickly became the center to so many great circles of friends.

Indelible

He was a successful entrepreneur, with wide ranging interests and passions. A trusted business partner, he moved easily between dentistry, industrial sales, construction, military and trade circles with a deep knowledge of those disciplines. There wasn’t a business challenge Corey couldn’t overcome with his unique mix of relationships, commitment and resources.

He was a valued mentor and advisor.

Indelible

Corey had agency and used it to the benefit of so many around him. From impacting the lives of those less fortunate, helping to jump start, restart and reestablish positive paths for friends and acquaintances, there was no favor or call that Corey wouldn’t answer...

Ever.

He was generous, true, strong… a challenger. He expected accountability and effort, he demanded your best and he led from the front with a clear resolve and strong example.

He never failed you.

Indelible

Corey lived his life out loud, unapologetically and in full color 💯. He leaves countless family, friends, co-workers and neighbors with a vision... a vision of a life in full bloom.

Corey is and will always be a shining example of what love, energy, spirit and a relentless pursuit of great looks like.

Corey was “One of One”

Indelible

We are saddened by his loss, but safe in the knowledge that he is resting peacefully in company with our Heavenly Father. As we wipe away our tears, we are also encouraged by his memory and example. Those beautiful moments we spent with his indomitable energy, and glorious spirit.

We are forever grateful.

His example, his life is the best case for hope, for determination, for defiance. Corey is indelible and HE ALWAYS WILL BE.

We remember him with Love and are certain that he will remain with us for as long as there are places in our hearts where we keep his fire lit.

May God bless and keep him forever 🙏🏼 .
