Corey James Fann
Imperial, Missouri Formally of Cape Girardeau, Missouri April 02, 1990 – July 11, 2025

Corey James Fann, passed away on July 11, 2025, after a courageous lifelong battle with diabetes. He was 35 years old. Born to Lorri Ann Fann and James Fann on April 02, 1990. Corey was a beloved son whose quiet strength and sharp wit left a lasting impression on all who knew him. He was a passionate internet gamer, known in online communities for his strategic mind, quick reflexes, and generous spirit. Gaming was more than a pastime for Corey—it was a way to connect, compete, and create lasting friendships across the globe. Corey faced the challenges of his illness with resilience and grace, never allowing it to define him. His perseverance, humor, and love for his family and friends were constants in his life. He will be deeply missed by his parents, extended family, and many friends both near and far.
