Corey Iodice Obituary
Corey John Iodice, 58 of Seffner, Florida (formerly of Fairfield), died tragically, in the line of duty, on Wednesday, April 22, 2020. He was born in Bridgeport on August 31, 1961 to Russell and the late Patricia (Tupy) Iodice. Corey was a lifelong towing and recovery specialist who was well respected for his abilities to execute any recovery regardless of the circumstances. He was an anomaly in the towing industry and a consummate professional who was widely known as the guy who made safety his top priority. Corey took pride in working side by side with his brother Chris and their father Russ, during countless emergency situations for the Fairfield Police and Fire Services.
In 1991, they were each awarded a Civilian Service Medal from the town of Fairfield for saving the life of a victim involved in a horrific crash on Interstate 95. In his free-time, Corey loved the outdoors and enjoyed camping, hiking and biking.
He is survived by his father, Russell, his siblings Robin, Cynthia (Connie), Keith, Christopher (Kristin) and Patricia. He will also be missed by his nieces, Kathryn, Jayme and Maddy, his nephew Roger and great-niece Elizabeth. He was predeceased by his paternal grandparents, Michael (Mickey) and Julia Iodice, maternal grandparents, Steven and Elizabeth Tupy, step-grandfather Adam Komosinski, mother Patricia, brother Brian and his dog Dude, his loyal companion.
A memorial tow truck parade will be held at a later date.

Dear Chris, Kristen and family,
We can't express our sympathy to you and your family. I have never met Corey but I think John has. When your dad called me Kristen and told me what happened, I couldn't believe what he was telling me.
We are so very sorry for your loss. Our love to you all.
Sympathy and Love.....John & Ruth
