CORY SWIFT Obituary

CORY ROBERT SWIFT

December 31, 2011

Cory Robert Swift, 25, unexpectedly passed away early New Year's Eve. Cory was born in Ft. Myers, Florida on June 25, 1986 to Cheryl and James Swift and lived in the area all his short life.

Cory will be sorely missed by all who knew him. He had an ever-sweet smile and a sharp wit that made him just really fun to be around. He loved music, writing insights to life, and his pepperoni pizza. Cory was a real sports nut and was the Jacksonville Jaguars #1 fan. He also loved his big dog, known as his inseparable Shadow. Cory was a great guy that would do anything for his friends, family, and even for perfect strangers.

Cory is survived his brothers Ves (with wife Becky and their three beautiful daughters: Briana, Jenna and Alyssa) and Max (with wife Courtney and their two awesome sons: Caydon and Caleb). Cory also had a grandfather, Robert L. Miller and grandmother, Aleatha Miller. Cory had aunts Joann Christensen and Peggy Johnson (with husband Robert) and uncles Jack Swift, Jerry Swift (with wife Linda) and Mike Sheward (with wife Sharon). Cory also had his best friends, Jostin Wuscher, James Anderson and Krystal Bates and had many other great friends and relatives too numerous to mention.

A Celebration of Cory's life is planned for Sunday January 8, 2012 at 4 p.m. for all Cory's dear friends and family. If you like, small arrangements or live plants would be fine but not necessary. Please contact a family member for details and directions.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
