Hi, my name is Joyce, and I created this fundraiser in memory of someone who was like a son to me and my late husband, Curt. Corey was our neighbor’s son — but more than that, he was family. Curt and Corey shared a deep bond, always outside working on something, laughing, living big.

Curt passed away in 2021, and now, heartbreakingly, Corey has joined him. I take comfort in knowing they’re together again — two kindred spirits who meant the world to me.

This fundraiser is to raise funds for Corey’s mom, Amy — to help cover funeral expenses and celebrate Corey’s life in the way he deserves.

In Loving Memory of Corey

Our community is grieving the devastating loss of Corey, a young man whose spirit burned bright and bold. Corey lost his life to suicide — a tragic end to a life that brought so much joy, music, and adventure to those around him.

Corey loved drumming, fishing, four-wheeling, racing, and cheering on the Green Bay Packers. He had a love for trucks with big-truck energy and a wild, eclectic taste in music — from Machine Gun Kelly to Children of Bodom to classic rock. He was a true original with a heart as big as his laugh.

In one final act of selflessness, Corey chose to be an organ donor, giving the gift of life to others even in his final moments.

We are raising funds to support his mom, Amy Bair, as she navigates this heartbreaking loss. Funds will go toward:

An End-of-Life Celebration

A music-filled, storytelling gathering full of family, friends, and love — just like Corey would’ve wanted.

️ Funeral Expenses

To honor Corey with dignity and care.

Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Awareness

A portion of extra funds will be donated in Corey’s honor to support mental health advocacy — so no one has to feel this alone.

If you’re able to donate or share, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your support means everything.

Let’s send Corey off with the love, music, and legacy he deserves.
