Oh, my aching heart. So deeply saddened to learn of sweet Cory's recent passing. May he rest in peace with the other souls of our dearly departed. I can recall ( on more than one occassion) Gary & Cory with Al & Zak, rounding up loose cows from around our neighborhood. Gary was a caring and helpful 4H advisor to the youth in his club - which my twins were a part of. We all have treasured memories of participation at the Lake County Fair together. Over the years I witnessed Cory's deep devotion to his his parents . His and love and loyalty to his only sibling, big brother Ryan, was evident. Our families spent many hours together at wrestling meets and matches at Perry and around NE Ohio watching " our boys " compete and supporting one another. Cory was a dedicated & determined athlete with a heart of solid gold. His SMILE is irreplaceable.

Corey was a big part of Lake county 4-h, always willing to help the younger kids and even me as a "green" livestock advisor. He always had a smile on his face no matter how tired he was. It hurts my heart that he is gone at such a young age, but his memory will live on. RIP Corey. Sending love to Ryan and Katie also.
John Kampf left a message on July 13, 2020:
I had the absolute honor of covering Corey in wrestling both at Lake Catholic and at Perry. Hard-working and passionate athlete. With his shoulder surgeries, he had every reason to walk away from sports, and he didn't. He kept pushing to be his best... Great kid with a smile on his face. He will be missed. RIP Corey.
