Corey was my next door neighbor when I still lived with my mom in Knoxville. He was the best neighbor and friend ever. I moved to Atlanta in 1986 and we lost touch. I was just absolutely broken hearted when I was told he had died. He was really a beautiful soul. I’ve never been blessed to meet anyone like him since. God rest his sweet soul .
