Several years later, Josiah Izquierdo joined Tracie's family.

Corey attended Bowers/Whitley for mechanical training. He enjoyed spending time camping and fishing. His best nights of sleep were spent in a tent under the stars. Corey was easygoing and friendly. He was often found smiling and laughing.
