Cory was known for his bold spirit and his ability to bring joy to others. At just 21 years old, he ran for mayor of his hometown of Central, South Carolina—an early reflection of his ambition, confidence, and desire to make a difference in his community.

That sense of humor was at the heart of who he was—he had a gift for lifting others up and bringing light into any room he entered.
He is survived by his loving spouse, Caroline Owens, along with family members, his twin brother, and many friends who will continue to carry his memory forward.
Cory’s life, though brief, was full of personality, courage, and connection. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew and loved him.
