Cory graduated from Crowder High School in 2011. He worked for Walmart Automotive for a period of time, and actually enjoyed learning the mechanics of different vehicles. He later switched jobs to Choctaw Defense where he worked for several years, then found himself working for Meeco where he got to travel and see parts of the USA.

 

He later moved to Newton, Kansas, to give his two youngest girls a chance to know him and be close to him.

 

He loved to fish, hunt, ride anything that had wheels, and more than anything he loved spending time with the ones he loved. He will be remembered by his big heart and the love he had for his children, their mothers, and his family.
