In Remembrance of Cory Hayes

John David Jackson once said, "You only live once, but legacy lives forever." Cory instilled a legacy of love, compassion, understanding, knowledge, strength, and hope. He touched the hearts of everyone he met, and for whatever period of time he spent with them, made them feel like the only person in the world. With Cory's passing, the legacy he has left behind is a legacy we all can embody through loving, helping, and guiding each other through life, and our own individual journey of growth/recovery. 

During this time, Oaks Recovery, alongside the friends and brothers of Cory would like help Cory's family offset the expenses of anything that comes with his passing. This young man has helped so many people find their purpose, and their "why" behind life, that it is our obligation to give back what was so freely given to us. Please share your favorite memories of him below, with how EXACTLY Cory made a difference or touched your life, so we can see how Cory still continues to live in each one of us. 

The donations made will be sent directly to Cory's mother, Cathi, who has expressed her deep gratitude for the outpouring of love and support already shown after his passing. 

We thank you for anything you can give, and know that it is going to a young man who's story impacted not only the Oaks Community, but the world around him.
