I pray that God holds this family in his loving arms and that he gives you the strength and peace you will need during this time, as only he can. As my heart breaks for you all, I know this loving, brave father is with our Lord and Savior right now. As The Father in Heaven protected his children and family by sending his son to die for us on the cross to save us from the evil one, so did this loving father. He gave his life to shield his family from the evil one. God raised him well. ❤️ I pray for this country to turn back to God and stop this hold of darkness on it. This tragic loss should have never happened.

As a father I was deeply moved by Corey’s heroic actions and I’m so very sorry for the loss the family are experiencing. His heroism is an inspiration for us to all live up to and shows the quality of human that we can all be.
Jason Gassert $10
My deepest condolences. Corey—a paradigm of the values, virtues, and heroism that truly make America great; was the physical embodiment of what every American should hope to be. Amidst the turmoil following this most tragic loss; not only did Corey successfully protect his family from harm; he rescued the soul of an entire Nation and reminded us all—-what it truly means to be a Dad; what it means to be an American.
