Three years ago my best friend was about to get married, I was 7 months pregnant and was delivered the news that Cory had passed away. I was weary to get too emotional in fear that I would go into labor too early. Not only was Cory the most genuine, always the guy to stop and say hi to fans, but he made everyone around him laugh… obvi this photo is proof. He was our family. We miss u bud.
Chord Overstreet
There’s no one quite like you. The greatest guy. The biggest heart. I love you man!
