Obituary for Jacob Christopher Cory
Jacob Christopher Cory, age 6, went to be with the Lord on May 7, 2015 at the John F. Keever, Jr. Solace Center.
Jacob was always a compassionate, happy, smiling little boy who loved Curious George, trains, dinosaurs, dolphins and wrestling. He had just joined the 1st grade football team last year when he was diagnosed with adrenoleukodystrophy, a rare genetic disease. Despite the diagnosis, Jacob continued to fight, smiling and laughing every day and singing in church on Sundays. He was a hero and an inspiration to everyone.
Jacob was the beloved son of Christopher and Andrea Cory. In addition to his parents, he is survived by his grandparents Aaron and Linda Cory, Rodger and Tina Monteith, and Belinda and Kevin Barnes, his great-grandparents Brenda and John Jones and Osie Ingle, and his 2 sisters Breanna and Sarah Cory. Also loving and missing him are several aunts, uncles and cousins.
He is preceded in death by his great grandfathers John Ingle and Don Monteith.
Visitation will be held at 3:00 pm on Tuesday, May 12, followed by a celebration of life service at 4:00 pm, at Mount Sheba Missionary Baptist Church, 870 New Stock Rd., Weaverville NC 28787.
Online condolences may be sent to the family at www.blueridgefuneralservice.org
