Kory Dean Bauer, 44, of Benton, Arkansas, passed away on February 11th, 2019. He was born on October 21st, 1974 to parents Hank Dean and Billie Jean Bauer in Anniston, Alabama. Kory proudly worked for multiple police departments throughout his career, including Benton, Pottsville, and Dardanelle, and was a field service consultant for Cardinal Health after several years working in law enforcement.
Kory was an outgoing, funny man with an infectious smile. He was the All State Center for Frederick’s Bomber High School’s football team and played on a college level for Maryville College. He also loved body building and was awarded the title Mr. Arkansas in 2002; he continued his passion for exercise by training and coaching others for body building competitions. Most importantly, Kory loved all of his children deeply and was so very proud of the people they have become.
Those left to cherish Kory’s memory are his three children: Cassidy Treadwell, Gavin and Karoline Bauer; his girlfriend: Tamara Love; his father: Hank Bauer; one sister: Krista Bauer; one niece: Evan Bauer; two fur-babies: Mia and Little Bear; and countless friends that will all miss him dearly. He is preceded in death by his mother: Billie Jean Bauer; and two sisters: Kim and Kandi Bauer.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Kory’s honor to the Friends of the Animal Village in Little Rock, Arkansas.
