"I'll never be able to see that smile of his again in this life. And it just made me need to remind everybody don't put off anything. Seeing a friend, or even calling or texting. You never know what's next."
Next to the message, he wrote: "Rip Corey I'll never forget your crazy ass. I love you with all my heart. All my prayers to your beautiful family."
