Corey McKoy AKA Corey

Corey McKoy was a young man from Brockton, Massachusetts, whose life mattered to family and community. Public records and memorial listings show he was 21 when he died on July 31, 2005. Though formal, family-published obituary text for Corey has not been found in online funeral-home archives, references from later family memorials affirm that he is remembered by relatives in Brockton.

What survives in the public record are the outlines of a life: a member of a local family, a brother whose loss is named in later remembrances, and a person whose passing left an imprint on those close to him. A 2024 obituary for a brother lists Corey as a sibling “preceded in death,” indicating family ties that continue to honor his memory years later. A national memorial for gun-violence victims also records his name, age, and the date he died, reflecting community remembrance beyond his immediate circle.

Because published, family-authorized obituary text matching the exact death date could not be located, this page emphasizes the human being behind the record rather than the circumstances of his death. Corey was more than the facts recorded about the end of his life; he was a member of a family and a community in Brockton whose absence is felt by relatives and friends. Families who have lost loved ones sometimes gather privately to share memories, photos, and stories that do not appear in public archives — if you knew Corey and would like to contribute a memory or photo for this memorial, those remembrances help restore the fullness of his life here.

Corey’s life, however briefly lived, mattered. This page honors that reality and preserves what can be verified: his name, his ties to Brockton, and the date his life ended. It stands as a respectful remembrance and an invitation for those who knew him to share the personal details that make a life whole.
