David Albert Corey's Obituary
Corey, David Albert, 45 December 31, 1970-November 11, 2016, Son of Randall Keith Corey, OD and Shirley Ann Corey born in Portland Oregon and attended schools in Cedar Mill and Pacific University. Following school he worked for Alaska Wildland Adventures as a River Guide, Event Planner and Safety Supervisor. Following an ATV accident with a spinal cord injury in 1995 David moved from Alaska to the family farm in the Beavercreek area. David died peacefully in his sleep the morning of November 11 from respiratory complications. He was a tower of strength physically and mentally and a role model for many. His circle of friends was large and he excelled at mentoring young people. He always had time for the many visitors that would come to the farm. He loved the out of doors, white water boating, camping, hiking and most of all fishing. His travels were many and music was easy for him. David was preceded in death by his mother Shirley and is survived by his partner and love of his life, Susan Shird, father Randall Corey, step-mother Joanne Nichols Corey and brother Randall Keith Corey, Jr. The private burial will be at Skyline Memorial Gardens on Saturday, November 19 and Celebration of Life will be on Saturday December 3rd, 11:00 AM at the Lower Highland Bible Church, 24353 S Ridge Rd, Beavercreek, OR 97004, 503-632-4741.
