He worked at Green Mill for as long as anyone can remember. He also worked at Horizon Middle School as a paraprofessional for the last few years.

Corey, you were a magnificent and incredible human being; sassy and loving all in one. I will ALWAYS remember that incredible smile and heart that you possessed and shared with others. You will never be forgotten and will ALWAYS be loved. Goodbye friend
We met Corey for only short visits when he came up to his parents seasonal last summer. I felt like I was in the presence of an angel. He was a movie lover like us. One favorite movie of ours, is the Guardians of the Galaxy. He was watching at the time I came into their camper to say good morning and how are things.
We will remember him when we watch our favorite movie, guardians of the galaxy. We will remember him always as the
Sweet, young man now as a angel forever watching over his family.
