Cory Lee Davis

Cory Lee Davis of Mountlake Terrace Washington, formally of Sullivan Illinois passed away unexpectedly on July 15, 2021. Although only 27 at the time of his death, Cory effected many lives. Cory loved so many and he was loved by so many more. Just one encounter with him, you would remember him for life. Family and friends describe him as caring, a big dreamer and that he always had a smile. At a very early age Cory adopted the Dallas Cowboys as his team. If obsessive devotion to a team translated into winning stats, his devotion might have been the reason the Cowboys have so many championships. Cory was a huge Mamba fan and followed Kobe Bryant closely on and off the court. He said Kobe was a role model for himself and for men of color. Cory trained and worked as a welder and it was a trade he dearly loved. He also had a passion for the outdoors and loved all there was to do from the beach to the snow-covered mountains around Seattle. He loved to share this passion with his wife, their dog, and many friends and family. Cory was born in Virginia Beach, Virginia on 04/18/1994. He was a loving husband, son, grandson, uncle and friend.
