Born in Memphis, Tennessee, on October 15, 1993, Corey was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather Jimmie Richard Brandl and his paternal grandmother Linda Webb. He is survived by his loving wife, Ashley Erin Webb, and his precious children Gabriel Kai, Elianna Kate, and Isabella Kenley Webb, who will cherish his memory always. Also surviving Corey are his father Kevin Webb and his mother Tricia Brandl Webb; siblings, Jerry Webb (Stephanie), Meagan Webb, and Zachary Webb; maternal grandmother Pat Brandl; paternal grandfather, Mark Webb; Nana and Pops, Debbie Simpson and Ken Simpson; sister-in-law, Brittany Archer (Austin); and nieces, Avery and Laney Archer.
Corey graduated from Aviano High School in Aviano, Italy, in 2012. He was awarded an associate’s degree from Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. Corey enjoyed his work as an electrician for Doleac in Mississippi and HMR in Shreveport, Louisiana. On November 29, 2015, Corey married his true love, Ashley Webb.
While in high school, Corey was named an all-star athlete for all of Europe in both basketball and football. More recently, his passions included fishing, gaming, shooting, enjoying sports, and, most of all, spending quality time with his family. Corey had a servant’s heart and often helped his family and friends in any way he could. In fact, his desire to be close to family led Corey to move to Haughton, Louisiana.
Corey went to be with the Lord suddenly on December 11, 2021, after a tragic traffic accident. He will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him.
Honoring Corey as pallbearers are Ben Hurtado, Isaiah Hurtado, Shane Hogue, Jesus Diaz, Camron Lambert, Kyle Morrison, Ray Warden, Austin Archer, Jerry Webb, Zach Webb, Jason Crawford, David Churchill, Aaron LeCompte, Scotty LeCompte, Daniel LeCompte, Chris Isom, Aaron Achadinha, and Gabe Dence.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to benefit his family at any branch of Citizens National Bank. The family would like to thank the Haughton community for the outpouring of support during this difficult time.
