Corey Mitchell Obituary
Corey was known for his big heart and dependable nature - the kind of person you could always count on. He was a proud and active member in the recovery community, where he offered support to countless people on their own paths to healing. His compassion and understanding made a difference in so many lives, and his presence around the tables will be deeply missed.
Corey had a special way with children - they were always drawn to his playful spirit and genuine heart. Whether it was a laugh, a story, or just his easygoing nature, kids always lit up around him. He found joy in those simple, shared moments that showed just how much love he carried for others.
He shared a deep bond with his dogs, Vera and Rowdy. The connection between them was a reflection of his loyalty, compassion, and the importance of the people close to him that he carried in everything he did.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Kathy Daubs. Corey will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who loved him. Though his time here was far too short, the love and light he brought into the world will never fade.
A Celebration of Life for Corey will be held at Broadway Christian Church in Mattoon on November 15th at 10 a.m. All who knew and loved him are welcome to attend.
A small graveside service will be held at a later date.

Corey was one of my best friends growing up from middle school to beyond high school. We always roamed the streets together, going on cruises around the Mattoon country side and lake. I knew his mother very well. His mom and I were good friends up until she passed away. I haven't spoken to Corey in years as we grew older and I started a family. I'll never forget Corey he was indeed one of my greatest childhood friends. Solid soul. He'll be missed, fly high buddy!

I don´t have as many memories of Corey as others do, but he has had a special place in my heart. When Corey was about 10, we adopted his baby brother, Dylan. These are pictures of them together. One is Dylan´s first night home from the hospital. We picked him up the next day, but for that night, Corey held and watched over his little brother, keeping him safe. The next picture is the day Dylan´s biological dad Dale passed away from MS. As tragic as it was, the 3 brothers were together for the first time. Corey reached out a few times thru the years and I was so happy when he told me he was turning his life around. I´ve prayed for him daily. Dylan, Corey´s brother went Home to be with his Lord this past January, not long before Kathy. So Corey had family waiting and I´m sure Dylan was one of the first people to welcome him to Heaven. I wish we could have known Corey better, while he was here, but he is at peace now and his long struggles are over. You did good, Corey. You ran the "race" with everything u had and finished strong! So proud of you! Tell my son I miss him, but I´m thankful u r together and he has you to watch over him again.
