Corey was born in 1968 to the late Kate Prim & the late Louis Brown in Foley, Alabama. A graduate of Newberry Jr. Sr. High School Class of 1987, he was a dedicated, hardworking, and passionate individual who rarely missed a day of work. An entrepreneur at heart, and was never one to slow down. A true Florida Gator fan, Corey bled orange and blue, never missing a chance to support his team. His love for sports was only rivaled by his love for his family, whom he cherished deeply. He tirelessly served his community, always finding ways to give back, whether through acts of kindness or a well-timed joke. Known for his infectious laughter and signature trash talk, Corey had a way of making people feel both challenged and cared for. He gave everyone a hard time, but he never failed to meet a need, proving that his teasing was just another form of love. If you ever heard a honk and saw a friendly wave, you knew it was Corey making his rounds, driving through the community with his unmistakable presence. On February 27, 2025, Corey transitioned, leaving behind a legacy of hard work, unwavering love, and joy. He will be deeply missed but forever remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
His sons Bershard "Ty" Davis, Harold Warmack, & his sister Veronica "Vicky" Dickerson proceeded him in death.
He leaves to cherish his memory: His devoted companion and the love of his life: Shirley Warmack; Children: Bryan Ware, Na'Kayla Warmack, & Alicia Warmack; Grandchildren: Njalah Ware, Zykeria Robinson, Bryan Ware, Jr., Seleysia Ware, Zaire Ware, Shaniya Warmack, Jahara Bradshaw, Cortez Bradshaw, & Shakira Warmack; Siblings: Emma Brown, Bonita "Faye" Brown, Rosalind "Pat" Brown, Angela Prim Sprawling (Troy), Yaphett "Drum" Prim (Renee), Kenyata "Ken" Prim Curtis (Natron), Weston "PJ" Prim, Jr. and a host of loving relatives, friends, and community members whose lives were forever touched by his presence. Though he may be gone from our sight, his laughter, love, and legacy will echo in our hearts forever
