Cory worked in the trades for various area companies, mostly as a stone mason and painter. He loved motocross, dirt biking, anything mechanical, and could fix almost anything. He enjoyed all types of music and loved his dog, Maggie. Cory was spontaneous and loved to go on random trips. He was always on the go and liked to stay busy. Cory had great compassion for others, and would listen and try to relate to those who confided in him. He will be remembered as a good friend and a big-hearted man who would give you the shirt off his back.
