Corey Allen Faircloth

Corey Allen Faircloth 34, a 17-year resident of Florida, passed away unexpectedly Sunday, 1/28/2018, at his home in Hollywood, FL. He was born on December 19,1983 at March Air Force Base, Riverside, CA. Corey is survived by his mother, Kelly Harmon and stepfather William Harmon Jr. Also by his father Robert Faircloth and stepmother Roberta Faircloth; siblings Heather Faircloth (Anthony), Stacy Ellingsworth-Longo (Louis), Brittany Ellingsworth (Marco), Ashley Faircloth, Aiden Harmon, Janica Williams (Walter), Tom Hamill (Mandy); his grandmothers Jeanette Shepherd and Sylvia Townsend; grandfather Robert "Bud" Faircloth Sr. (Kay); and nieces and nephews Jacob, Autumn, Riley, Gabe, Finn and Beatrice. There are too many uncles, aunts and cousins to name individually, but they are equally loved and will always be in his heart.

Corey loved to work with his hands. He had many jobs in the construction field, from welding, carpentry to bridge restorations. He was working for Kiewit Infrastructure South at the time of his passing. Corey was probably the Buffalo Bills #1 fan since his birth. One could say the Bills' loss against the JAX Jaguars contributed to our loss. Corey's ability to use his "Rainman" skills with numbers amazed all who knew him and enabled him to create the most unique home games from a very young age. Corey's love for all things family was his driving force that kept him motivated to achieve his goals. All his spare time was spent playing and laughing with his beloved nephews and niece, Jacob, Aiden and Autumn. Those smiles and laughs are what we are all going to miss the most!!

When we reflect upon Corey's life, what will we remember? We will remember the love he gave unconditionally. We will remember his wonderful creative mind, his successes and his do-overs. Most of all, we will miss his smile, the twinkle in his beautiful blue eyes and his contagious laugh. If I may leave you with one more thing that Corey often said, it was, "May I give you a hug, a kiss and a squeeze?"

Be safe and we will meet again.
