Jeffrey Corey, 32, died unexpectedly on August 17, 2018 in Pensacola, FL.

Jeff was born August 10, 1986 to his proud and devoted parents, Shannon and Annette Corey. Jeff was a lifelong resident of Pensacola and a graduate of Washington High School. As a creative and dedicated food-lover, Jeff shared his gifts with Pensacola by preparing delicious meals in a variety of local restaurants. He was a talented athlete and eagerly participated in organized and recreational sports for his entire life. His physical presence, both strong and tall, was nothing compared to the kindness and friendship that he gave to everyone that he encountered. Jeff never met a stranger. He adored children, animals, and all adored him in return. Above all, Jeffrey loved his family. He was a beloved son, brother, grandson, uncle, nephew, and cousin.

Jeff is preceded in death by his grandfathers, Alexander Corey and Jack Pittman, Sr. and his grandmothers, Joyce Corey and Dorothy "Dot" Pittman.

He is survived by his parents, Shannon and Annette Corey; sister, Ally Corey Wade (David); nieces, Raya and Lindy; nephew, Samuel; aunts and uncles, Sheila (Dennis), Pamela, Mike, Elizabeth, Jay, Jennifer (Dwain), Michelle, Paul, and Adam (Brandy); cousins, Jackie (Anthony), Vernon (Amanda), Gabrielle, Stacey, Sarah, Kirsten, Natasha, Danielle, Dana (Don), Nathaniel (Shelley), Dustin, Lauren, Marissa, Luke, Mea, and Tyler; step-grandmothers, Kaye Pittman and Linda Corey; honorary uncle, Chet Kaufman; as well as many great friends.

Visitation will be held 2:00pm until the Memorial Service at 3:00pm Thursday, August 23, 2018 at Harper-Morris Memorial Chapel, officiated by his uncle, Dennis Holley.
