Corey Sbarra Obituary
Born in nineteen sixty-nine, on April's third day bright, He lived a life of love and laughs, until he took his flight.
On a June day in twenty-five, Corey left us with grace, In the same Staten Island, he found his resting place.
His journey was a melody, a song of joy and cheer, With every note he sang in life, he drew his loved ones near.
Corey's days were filled with work, in Local 1 he stood, A plumber proud, with skill and might, for over three decades good.
His hands not only fixed the leaks but also built a home, For Joy, his wife, his steadfast rock, never left to roam.
Joseph, his father, taught him strength, to face life's ebb and flow, And Dale, his brother, by his side, in every high and low.
Together they formed a family, a bond that would not sever, A circle of love and unity, that would go on forever.
A catholic man, Corey held faith, in every act and deed, He knew that love was all one needs, the universal creed.
His voice would rise in praise and song, in his band Rain of Terror, His spirit free, his soul alight, in music, he found no error.
An athlete once, with vigor strong, in games he'd always strive, His competitive nature was all in fun, made everyone feel alive.
His love for friends, family, and animals, knew no bounds or ends, A heart so vast, a spirit kind, he was the best of friends.
Corey was loving, he was kind, and oh, so very funny, His laughter was a balm to all, sweeter than any honey.
He lived a life that was so full, with every moment seized, In memories, he'll always be, in hearts, he's never ceased.
So let us sing a song for him, a tune both sweet and tender, For Corey Sbarra, a soul so bright, our love we do surrender.
His legacy, a trail of joy, a life so brightly lived, A reminder to us all each day, to love, to laugh, to give.
Rest in peace, Corey Sbarra. Gone but never forgotten. Corey was an amazing husband, son, and brother. He was outgoing, funny, caring, thoughtful, and loved everyone around him. He adored his animals and cherished all his friends and family. Corey just wanted to see a smile on everyone's face.
