Cory wasn´t just my best friend he was my brother in every way that mattered. From the very beginning, we shared a bond that went beyond words, a connection that time and distance never weakened.
Growing up together, we shared each others dreams we shared each others troubles He was the kind of person who, no matter what always had my back. If there was a risk to take, he was first in line, his courage ran deep
He had a heart that was as big as his smile, would give you the shirt off his back a kind hearted soul and anyone who knew him could feel the love and kindness he poured out so freely. Cory lifted people up, even when he himself was carrying burdens that most people would never know about.
I know that my life, is forever shaped by knowing Cory he was a great friend some of my best memories in life were with him as children and adults it was a honor calling him friend, family, and brother. This will forever be a scar on my heart and soul as this loss weighs heavy
Cory, my brother, my friend, you will always be a part of me as I am forever torn in this life after your departure far to early brother but I Thank you for every memory, every laugh, every moment we shared Until we meet again, know that you are loved and you are missed everyday you will never be forgotten may you find peace in gods everlasting kingdom I love ya man rest easy my brother see you again on the other side
