Dwayne Ballard worked with Corey at Calhoun's.  Corey loved the NFL with Dwayne too.  Prayers and love to his family. 

I never told you bc I was fighting back so hard not to fall inlove w ur laugh, your baby blues, your height, your sense of humor, the way u would tuck ur up lip, the way you would help anyone who possibly could even if it ment you lost something of value to do it. You always had good intentions with me. I never told you but I was falling inlove w you despite the fight I was giving you. Thats why it was just us by this point. Every talk, every touch, every embrace crosses my mind when I even think of you in the least amount. No one was ready for you to leave not even my daughter, Jordyn. She went w me to say goodbye to you & meet your mom & sister. Your right, I already love your sister & its only been a week. Im not sure what you people are doing to me but its made me a mess for you. I wear you around my neck now & take you w me wherever I go these days. Sense I put you on I talk to you often.  A fantasy I have of us fighting & making up bc the smallest argument w u created such passion in you that it was almost fun to argue to be able to make up. We never had a real arguentn ever anyways. Im sure it would of been magical if we could of made it a year. The first 2 and a half months were great. You always made me feel comfortable & loved even when I was giving you hell or dragging you to church. Corey Ray your in trouble when I get my hands on you for leaving me wayyy too soon. We didnt even get to fight about ball yet. Except you hated me liking the gators just to get a rise out of you. Lol your full chest laugh. Your eyes lighting up to almost a clear blue 💙, your willingness to go above and beyond anything ever asked of you for me or anyone else was jaw dropping & took my breath away as you often did those two things to me a large amount of the time. Missing you everyday. I pray for you often everyday until we meet again. I never said this to you before but I love you, Corey Ray. You make me very happy & being w you a small amount of time it was all very meaningful to us both from what I know and what Ive been told. You are very special & will never be forgotten. Youve left a 6'2" size hole in my 5'7" size heart. As you can imagine that is very difficult. Most the time u tower over me & put your hands in my hair, around my neck & down to the small of my back to lead me around. Ill always miss your smile & laugh. Even every tear we shared have great meaning for me. I wish I could texted you in heaven... Maybe AI could talk to me in your responses could pretend to be real. Even my cat misses you, sweetpea. You'll always be my sweet pea mechanic. I need that oil changed so i can sit on you again & you not know who I was lol you were so fun. Lossing your swimsuit 🩲 in the lake. Watching the sun go down over the water will live in my heart as a top 10 day of my life. Our plans went a long way that weekend. You kicked off my summer & you ended it just like that. Something & someone I wasnt ready to even know was in the world. There you were. There you go. Always on my mind, always in my heart & forever your name on my breath. Didnt know I needed you so badly until even my car went to your house & died the night of your funeral. Nothing has felt right since I finished my laundry & you walked me to the car. Stealing your chocolate blue berries I bought u on my way out. Always w that "sweet tooth" you spin my world around & never knew how much I was really invested. Just that I may run at anytime I felt too much for you. I already tried to run once but couldnt leave you alone. You felt like home to me. Something so rare in this life. It wasnt just the apartment that felt like home to you finally, it was where your heart was.

I am so sorry for your loss. The short time we did have with him at Buddy's BarBQ was great. Forever in our prayers and thoughts.. Fly high... 

DeeDee and Alvin Walker, Buddy's BarBQ Family.. 

I’m so sorry about Corey i will be praying for you all 

I'm so sorry to hear about Corey passing. I taught him how to work in the assisted living facility. He was a natural that wasn't sure he could do that kind of work. He did amazing and hate to here of his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends but especially his kids. That I know he loved beyond anything else in this word.
