Randy, I'm very sorry to hear about Corey. I recall what a nice, friendly kid he was when I used to come to your house, back when we were all young! It's been a long time, but I remember. May God Bless you all!

I was introduced to the Theriot’s at the age of 8 Nichole became my best friend still at the age of 41. The Theriot’s became my second family, as the LaGrappe’s were very close to them. I’m glad I was home and got to see Cory’s and hang out for awhile during his last month before he was called home to be with his wife. I continue to pray for the Theriot Family in this time of loss, while I envision the smile on Kara’s face as her husband was called home to be with her. Fly High Cory and May you R.I.P. love always Tara

I so so sorry for your loss, we will truly miss him, I will miss seeing him at the corner store with his scratch offs, and his good luck he would give me when i bought mine, he was a kind man, would help you in any way he could, the last time i seen Cory was at the store and how his face would light up when he spoke of his wife Cara and how sad he got when he told me how much he had missed her, and that was the first time he had told me about his illness , we sat at the store for more than an hour just talking about the old days of school and the pranks we would pull on the teachers, and the fun we would have at the beach on the summer breaks, will miss you classmate, now you are with Cara for eternity.

Corey will definitely be missed by so many of us. I first met Corey when i worked at Ritter Lumber. He was such a great and caring person. He was there for me after my car accident January 10, 2018. It's still so hard to believe this is all real. His family and friends will be kept in my prayers! Fly high my sweet friend! My girls and i will always cherish the memories of you!

Randy and Family, I am so sorry for the loss of Corey. I will miss him dropping by the Edward Jones office with some miscellaneous paperwork and asking what it was for and what to do with it. He was such a kind and generous man. My continued prayers are with all of you and he will always be fondly remembered.
