I am so sorry to hear of Corey's passing. I was his PE teacher in 8th-12 grade and he was so funny! He always made me smile and always had something to say, in a good way:). My sister, Stephanie Zeman was in Corey's grade. I remember Corey even younger when he came to a party at my sisters and said, "what a great pad this is". It was so funny. He really lit up a room and I am sure he will be forever missed.
Your family is in my prayers! I am so sorry I was not able to attend today.
God bless

My wife Jane and I had the pleasure of having Cory B and Corey S (Shupe) for an extended weekend at Great Adventure and the Seaside Boardwalk when they were just wee lads.

Corey always had such a wonderful smile and great sense of humor. From the first time I met him with mashed potatoes all over his little face, in his ears...and the biggest smile! He brightened the room when he walked in. He was so kind and patient with my toddler when we would visit the Baarck home. My love and prayers for Gayle, Rick, Dustin and Ricky. I love you all!
