In his life Kory never met a stranger. His smile and personality, sense of humor and love for life was like no other. Words cannot describe the incredible person he was. Just knowing him was an honor. Kory was the child that every parent would want as a role model for their own child to be. He had a positive impact on so many lives during his 21 years of celebrated life.
Truly a stand up guy. His last daily quote was "be the person that makes others feel special, be known for your kindness and sympathy" words he lived by every day of his life.
