William Corey McCain

I was unaware of Big Will's passing and hadn't heard from him in awhile. I met Big Will when he was attending LaVerne College and I was right down the street @ Claremont McKenna College. He was one of my greatest supporters and always cheered me on during basketball games. Whenever he went home to Bakersfield, he brought me some special taffy from a candy store in Bakersfield. We had lost touch after some years, and reconnected in the last four years. We shared some education and coaching stories. He also started sending me candy again! He was such a faithful friend who always had my best interest at heart. I was hoping to go on a road trip to Cali this summer and was planning to visit him. Sorry, friend. You will be greatly missed. RIP

Since we first met back in fourth grade at St. Francis, you have been a good friend. By the sixth grade, you were towering over everybody. Your kind and compassionate heart makes you one true gentle giant. I will miss your stories, talking politics, and ripping into those communist lefties up in Santa Fe (really all commie lefties). I now wish I had made that quick trip from Santa Fe to the ABQ more often.
I will miss your physical presence on this earth, while knowing you are at peace.
Thank you William "Corey" McCain for all your humor, wisdom, and generosity.

I remember Coach McCain after I got out of enemy and joined the military. He would call me once in a good while asking how I was every time you heard something on the news about the military. He would always call me and try to verify then ask me how I´m doing, also give some good advice. Coach taught me a lot was always willing to coach me even when I left Coach. Thank you Coach for being bored of my life and helping me

We never met, but I had fun talking to you online and planning our place to met. God bless your family and rest in paradise.

Cory light up any room he was in with his gregarious nature and knack for telling a good tale. As sister to his 2nd mama ("crazy white lady"), Cory's memory is forever embedded in family folklore. I'm sure they are telling a few tales in heaven! God Bless Cory!

Big Will was always to help you with just about anything! He was an honorable man who spoke from his heart and his life experiences! Rest in Heaven
