Corey affectionately known as “Chunks” was a dedicated son, brother, nephew, father, and friend. He always wanted to make sure his mom was taken care of. He also served as a surrogate father to his siblings. He looked out for them and was more than a brother. They were best friends.

He said that being a father was his greatest achievement and brought him so much pride.
