He always bragged to Corey that he shot his deer when he was younger than his daddy. Cooper is just now getting interested in hunting.Corey boys were the most important part of his life besides Kimberly. He spent all his time doing things with the family. The boys even rode on Corey lap when he was mowing the lawn. Corey always said they were the biggest accomplishments in his life. Corey and Kimberly moved to Midland where he worked in sales in the oilfield for various companies. He was proud of starting his own oilfield service companies. Corey was a natural born salesman.
