When I heard of Corey’s passing all I could think of was that little boy sitting in the salon chair and cutting his hair, so sweet and cute. He was so fortunate to have a wonderful family and grandparents to care for him.
Jim & I send prayers for all of you because we know he will be missed. Love to all of you.
Dear Family,
MY deepest sympathy for the loss of your precious Corey Davis Brown. Please draw comfort that when we wipe our tears away our Creator does not, in fact he counts each tear, collects them and makes a record for its cause. He is fully aware of all sorrow and will rectify matters in the near future. (Psalm 56:8)
I’m very Sorry to hear Corey has passed away and my humble condolences to the family. While i only knew him briefly he was a very kind and wonderful spirit that had a bright future ahead of him. We got to know him through his online game streaming (twitch.tv) and it was admirable to watch him grow over the last few months.
I met Corr through twitch.tv as well, and right away he was this ball of energy, all these ideas and so much drive and ambition. He worked hard to try and get what he wanted but was denied by unfairness.
To his family: Please know that your son has touched the hearts of a lot of people far and wide even around the world through the wonders of the internet. He has a lot of friends who will remember him, I just wish I could rag on him again for wearing sunglasses indoors…he really was a unique person. Rest well Corr…
