“It’s not the number of years in your life, but the amount of life in your years.”
– Adlai Stevenson

Corey passed away suddenly in Winchester, VA at the age of 49. He was an inspiration to his family; the cherished son of Patty and Ron, amazing father to Matthew and Morgan; life partner of Arlene, devoted brother of Jeff (Blair) and Heather (Mike); and beloved uncle to Ethan, Kendall, Padraic, Ben, Madeline and Logan. Corey will be greatly missed by his extended family in Michigan, and was a treasured, loyal friend to too many to name.

Corey was a man who made life happen, no matter the obstacles or challenges. He built his own business, and his craftsmanship will endure in many homes across the area. His heart was as big as the outdoors he loved, from bowhunting on the Blue Ridge Mountains to kayaking and wakeboarding on Virginia’s rivers and lakes. He rapelled into deep caves throughout the south and as far as Belize. Corey imparted his love and knowledge of the outdoors as a Scout leader and was especially proud when his two boys were awarded the rank of Eagle Scout.

Corey’s personal qualities outshone all of his accomplishments, from his generosity of spirit to his sense of humor and a strong sense of self. Corey believed ingenuity and hard work could solve any problem; he was the first to roll up his sleeves and was a great teacher to those who didn’t know where to start.

Above all else, family came first for Corey. He filled our homes with light and laughter at every family gathering and his spirit will be irreplaceable.

For Corey, happiness was simple: love of family, loyal friendships, and a hard day’s work with his dogs by his side. If Corey called you a friend, you were one for life. It’s been said he’d give you the shirt off his back … and not just because he hated wearing one!

Corey’s life celebration will be scheduled at a future date. Until then and in lieu of flowers, please remember him by making time to reach out to an old friend, do a favor for someone, or have a good laugh with someone you love.

We send our sympathy and are so sorry for your loss. Corey always took care of the neighbors when it snowed and plowed driveways without being asked. His love of family and his beloved dogs was so apparent—our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

I was referred to Corey by a friend of his to do a project at my home. It and all subsequent projects were completed to his high standard of perfection. Even though I was 20 years his senior, we had much in common, especially his taste in music. I will miss his good humor and zest for life. Next time I buy donuts, I'll be sure to get 2 blueberry ones in his memory. My heart goes out to his Family and Friends for their loss.

Monika and I are so sorry for your loss. Corey was very much a part of our lives the past few years. His projects are everywhere in our home from the screened porch down to all the new the doorknobs. We hardly ever undertook a project that didn't have a "Corey" factor. We are privileged to have called him our friend.

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

Katrina and I want to extend our deepest sympathies to you and your family. We will always remember Corey as the fun loving person that we met at your 75th birthday. He was gregarious, and full of love for his mother and father, as well as his whole wonderful family. Please know that we are praying for you at this unbelievable time. Steve and Katrina Hawes

Corey was truly one of a kind!!! To know him was to love him! He flies with the angels!!! I am sorry for your loss!

I’m sincerely sorry for loss of such a unique person. I will always remember singing with Corey in the children’s choir at Christmas in the old St. Francis church.

I and my family are so sorry. The loss of Corey leaves a void in all of our hearts.

I will always remember that Black Leather Jacket at the CYO meetings and gatherings!!! Love to his family and Mom! Tom

We had some of the best times of my life. You did a phenomenal job raising your boys. I'll never forget you.

he was a good friend and will be missed

I am so saddened by this news. I have the best memories of my childhood friendCorey: from being dared to eat grass in Ms. Whitehouse’s class to earn money to buy our scooter crunch, watching a giant movie your dad projected for all of us on your birthday, stone soup in second grade and saying me Corey and Chris were all going to get married. Happy laughs! Much light and healing to your family.

So very sorry for your loss. May all your good memories help support you during this difficult time. You and your entire family are in our thoughts.

Sending all our thoughts to you and your family during this time. Lots of hugs.

Jeff and family, We are so sorry to hear of your brother’s passing. Cherish every great moment you had together and live each day in celebration of his memory. Please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers. Peace, The Chmiel family

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with the family, especially Morgan and Mathew.

While I never got to meet him, I know was an amazing person. My thoughts and prayers to all of his amazing family and friends.

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

If you were a friend of Willies, you’re a friend of mine. Fly with the birds

I had the pleasure of meeting Corey on several occasions when he came to Fauquier High to celebrate Matthew and Morgan. His love for those boys shone clear through his eyes, and his pride in their accomplishments was absolute. While I didn't know him well, I saw much of him in both Matt and Mo - or Lupus and Aquila, as they were known in Latin class - and heard about him through their stories. My thoughts are with Corey's family, especially with Matthew and Morgan.

My deepest condolences to Corey's family and most especially Matthew and Morgan. Corey was a wonderful man, but his real legacy is the love and devotion he had to the boys. You'll be missed, Corey, but I'll always remember you whenever I look at the work you did around my house!

I remember most a Christmas Mass in Purcellville when Corey and his mother Patty joined in singing a special contemporary Christmas carol. The two of them smiled as they sang. It was a delight to see and hear. I hold him, his family, his parents, and his siblings in my hearts and prayers. I am sorry they have to endure such a shocking loss. I pray that God will comfort and strengthen them all.

There are times in a person's life where one crosses paths with another and you develop a tremendous amount of respect and admiration. Corey was that person for me where I appreciated his sense of humor, wonderful life stories and life lessons and such a creative and hard working person. We used to shoot pool together all of the time and would solve all of the worlds problems. Well, mostly Corey was solving the world's problems and I was just agreeing with his ideas. I will miss him dearly..
