Corey was one of the most passionate, loving, and 'true' people I have ever known. I am grateful to have been able to spend a couple of years with him at my side, because he taught me so much about life and opened my eyes to many new things. He will be dearly missed, but his memory will live on in his family and friend's hearts forever. Thank you my friend for showing me how to love unconditionally and how to embrace each day to the fullest.
